Goal Setting and what YOU should know

I do this whenever I set new goals for myself, and always post them around my work space so I see them everyday and it reminds me of them and motivates me. It's also good expanding on the goal, and it helps to visualize what benefits completing that goal will bring.

is okay if i write same goal every day until i achieve my goal? i think it's just about my financial, my healthy and relationship



.

I also find it helpful to write down the steps I need to take to achieving my goal, along with the actual goal itself.

I write down my goals and review them all the time. It is a great way to be successful that is for sure. If you are not willing to review them, then it is a waste to write them down. Or at least that is how I feel.

Writing the Goal down refreshes your memory about what and why you are doing.

I read a story that students from some elite university in US were asked to write their goals down. Only 3% did. Apparently, those 3% made more money than the rest 97% COMBINED.

Successful people prepare for tomorrow. I am sure successful blind people don't write things down each day.

There is nothing more you can do about today, but you can use today to make a better tomorrow.

I agree completely with writing down one's goals. Unfortunately, I'm not very good about writing them down...

Very true statement Nico.

I write down my goals daily including the tasks that needs to be done on a notebook.

Over the years, I have literally hundreds of pages of goals / websites to finish / work that needs to be done / products to be launched / etc.

GET A NOTEBOOK! Internet marketing will be much easier this way

Seems that writing down your goals is a little over rated. Just a little. Of course it’s important. It’s just that I achieve so many goals that I didn’t have to write down first. Do you have to write a goal down to be able to achieve it? Of course not.

It seems that the more complex the goal is the more clarity you get from writing it down, breaking down medium term goals with matching rewards, and short term or daily goals with small rewards. This helps to develop

It is more important to know what writing down our goals does for us in order to be able to use this skill of writing to our advantage. At a certain point just writing stuff down doesn’t mean you’ll get it. Then we hear stories of people writing down many goals and years later seeing they achieved most of those things. Did writing it down do it? or did following through on the exact steps to producing the results they wanted get them the goal achievement.

Writing our goals down can be a very cathartic experience. It can clarify things and help us to sort out what we really want. Writing down goals without having intense emotion tied to it lacks quite a bit as well. If you don’t set your intention to achieve the goal then writing it isn’t going to help much. Intention is the transition from an intellectual idea in your head to an emotional feeling that helps you remember to actually achieve your goals. What are you going to get out of it? The feeling of what you want to experience is incredibly far more powerful than writing it down.

So yes, write some good goals down, especially to track them or map them out. Then move on to actually getting some stuff done.

I think it's useful that you write your goals everyday as a constant reminder on why you are working really hard each day. It doesn't really work for me though and I know it's the same with others. I have a to-do list which is more or less the same. I write down what I plan to accomplish for the day because it keeps me organized.

I have a fantastic goal setting form that I use with my clients, you are all welcome to a copy just email me at carol@carolfinlayson.com

I totally agree that goal setting and re-writing your goals everyday will enable you to focus more clearly on the vision and work your way into that goal.

A person without goal will get tired and exhausted easily.
Slow but surely, work on those goals

I write the goal with a simple solution to it.

Like, Goal = New Car , Step= Work Hard.

So when times that I am unmotivated to work, I just look at this and get motivated.
Very simple but it works for me.

Great post.

I remember back in 1978, I was reading 2 different books
(The Magic of Thinking Big and The Lazy Way ....) or something
like that and they were talking about goals.

I actually wrote my goals down back then and have referred
back to them every since. I succeeded in achieving
almost all of those goals.

Still working on a few. And creating or revising new goals every year.

You've got to have a goal to move forward.

Anyway, loved the post.

I love it so inspiring.

Awesome information thanks.

Goal-setting, if done correctly, will give a person an entire set of organized parameters
to follow. Then all he/she needs to do is to actually "Do" them.

There is an entire psychological strategy behind goal-setting. It is also important
to understand that most goals are broken down into smaller goals. With that in mind
Here are the basics:

1. Define what you want your end result to be. Your goal must be realistic.
You will likely not make a million dollars in the next 24 hours unless you are
already established with an extremely high income process.

2. Set a specific time limit to reach your above goal. Again, most people
cannot eat 76 hot dogs in only 60 seconds. Your time should make sense.

3. List the tools that you need (and have) to get to your goal.
Vehicle? bank loan? building? 10 weeks off of work? person(s)? pet canary?
Whatever. You need to know what, and/or who is in your arsenal.
You may need to set up sub-goals for using some of these tools.

Actually, this is really all that you need. The next part is really making
sub-goals of your time. Taking the main goal and breaking it down into
time manageable portions of your day. If you do not reach a goal one day,
you can change your goals for the next. This is why goal setting is actually
a pretty easy thing to do. It often becomes too easy.

Where most people run into problems is that they do not hold themselves
accountable. The fact that goal-setting is so easy will allow a person to
continually postpone important projects - he/she just moves the deadline
a bit further out - every day!

As I said these are very basic. There are books written on the how's and
why's of goal-setting, and I have only given a simplified outline of the process.
One more thing to consider is your personal limitations. If you are not very
good at using your time wisely, then you may want to break down your
goal into what you can get done in 15 minutes at a time, and work on
getting things done more efficiently.

It just dawned on me that I wrote an 11 page report on a 3-step
goal-setting process. If you are reading this, and are interested,
I will send a copy to the first 5 people who ask for it. I am limiting
copies as I may WSO it. If you do get a copy, please let me know
what you think of it.

PM me w/subject 123 goal.

Yes. It's True, writing down your goals is great and does wonders!

I have an app on my iPhone that allows me to mark down the things I need to get done.

I have become much more productive , rather than trying to remember it all, I was all over the place.

Making up your goals is the first step in motivating your self to become successful and to guide you on your dreams that you want to achieve.

The first habit that people who are successful is to be grateful and thankful . People who are grateful for all that tend to be happier in life. It can not be the richest person on the block, but still give thanks for what little they have. Some people have a lot of money , but always complain and are not happy. In the same vein , there are people who can not have great wealth, but live a happy and satisfied. When you are grateful , you are indirectly allowing the forces of nature to give you more . At least you're grateful for what little they have , and that means it is ready for more .

Let me move to the next habit. It is recommended that you learn to read . Reading shows that you are interested in learning more about what is happening in the world . Do not just read about celebrity gossip too. Learn more about the world news , the latest events and content that will help , such as free personal development tips and motivational quotes . This will help you expand your field, open your mind and see things from different angles. You can even develop new hobbies and ambitions on the road.

For me, the hardest part is seeing this immense goal in front of me. While I like to strive for greatness, I do believe a main goal needs to be broken down into a set of mini-goals to ensure that a person stays focused.

For instance, many people aim for 10,000 dollars a month as their goal. However, reaching this goal takes a very long time. Breaking this down into 2,000, 5,000 , 7,000 and 8,500 in the form of mini-goals along the way allows me to see success and find satisfaction in meeting these goals as well.

I can personally vouch for it. This really works. I have started writing goals for myself and i am feeling the difference.

"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts."
Winston Churchill

Yes this is so true. People who succeed write their goals down. I think it just makes it more real when you do that. Especially if you do it every day.

"If you pursue your goals your goals will pursue you,
But when you meet is up to you."

Yes I also agree there is power in righting down your goals.
It is also powerful to practice these 3 things as well.
1)Read your goals out loud to yourself
2)Then say "I will achieve said goal by said date"
3)Then take a few minutes to visualize yourself achieving the goal and what you will feel like when the goal is achieved.

Writing goals down is definitely important.

Great advice! I used to not set any goals for myself at all, and just have a general sense of what I wanted to achieve, but setting a specific goal helps to keep focus, and quickens the time in Which the goal takes to achieve!

True, I agree. I use a small notepad to write my "to do list" every day and it helps a lot. I use it like a little check list which I tick as I finish each task.

The days when I don't do this, I usually end up wasting a lot of time on non-productive things.

Yes, it's good to have a vision, but it's even more important to write it down.


Nice share, Nico!
