Chapter 1 THE PREPARATION

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT GOAL-SETTING

Why Are Goals Essential?

Have you ever wondered why some people are successful in everything that they do, while others seem to be the total opposite? If you think that you are destined to be part of the “average group”, then think again. All you need is to reassess your goals in life to help you get back on track. If you want to be successful in life, what you need to do is to understand how to accomplish things. The first step is to determine your goals that will be the driving force of your actions toward accomplishing the dreams that you have.

The problem comes in when you do not know what you really want. Even if some people seem to think that they know what they want, in reality, they don’t. When deciding what you really want to do, the desire should come from the heart. If you want to become a winner, you have to understand what path you want to take.

In doing this, you need to know first where you are at the moment. From there, you will know what steps you need to take to arrive to where you want to go. This concept is the same with using a map. In order to reach the destination, you need to first know your location. This is one valuable life lesson.

By setting your goals, traversing in life will be easier. If you have goals, you will always be reminded that no matter what problems come your way, your destination will always be there waiting for you. This destination is the fulfillment of your dreams.

Without goals, it will be like traversing in a dark alley without light. Your goals will be your guide while you are passing the dark alley called life.

One of the most important lessons you need to remember is that goal setting is your ticket to transform your life from an average one to a great one.

Without your goals, you will not have direction when it comes to what path you really want to take.

Once you have achieved your goals, you will be able to feel a sense of fulfillment that will guide you to do greater things.

Golden Rules When It Comes To Goal Setting

1. When setting your goals, you need to remember to make your goals SMART:

Specific

When setting your goals, they should be specific. In addition, it should be clear and not generalized. Your goals should be well defined so that you know what parameters you need to include. The vagueness of goals may lead to confusion.

Measurable

It is also important that your goals are measurable. This means that the degree of your success can be defined after you have done all the steps to attain your goals. For example, your goal is to reduce unwanted weight. How will you know that you are successful in your goal to lose weight?

You may set your goal as this:

After 3 months, I should have lost 15 pounds of excess weight by following a healthy diet and regular exercise.

As you can see, you can clearly measure your goal by stating that you should lose 15 pounds. If you lost 15 pounds after three months then you are successful.

Attainable

It is important that the goals that you have set for yourself are attainable. If you have set goals that are too impossible, then you will just demoralize yourself including your confidence.

For example, you want to lose weight; you came up with a goal to lose 20 pounds in 1 week. Do you think this is possible? It is definitely not possible to lose 20 pounds in 1 week unless you are trying to kill yourself.

However, this does not mean that you should only settle for easy to attain goals. Goals that are too easy will not be able to test your abilities and discipline. If you can, you should always challenge yourself.

Relevant

When setting your goals, you should keep in mind the direction that you want your life to take. This will help you set goals that are relevant for your future.

Time-Bound

If you want your goals to be achieved, you need to set a deadline to your goals. Setting a deadline will also improve your focus on your tasks.

2. Your goals should always motivate you.

If the goals you have set motivate you it will be easier to focus on what you want to achieve. Through motivation, you will be pushed harder especially in times when you want to give up.

3. Write your goals.

If you do not put your goals into writing, you may not remember all the goals that you have set for yourself.

Writing all of your plans will help you have a clearer view of what you want. This will help you in fulfilling everything that you want

You can try a TO DO list to know what goals you need to accomplish first.

A TO DO list can help you prioritize the things that you need to accomplish. Moreover, it can also help you focus even more.

4. Do not forget the importance of action plans.

If you do not have action plans, it is impossible to attain your goals. Your action plans include everything that you will do in order to achieve the goals you have listed.

To put it simply, your action plans represent every step that you have to fulfill your dreams. Without an action plan, your dreams will remain as they are…only dreams.

For example, if you want to lose weight, your action plan may include the following:

• Decrease your carbohydrates during meals

• Run for 15 minutes every morning

• Eat healthy foods

*IMPORTANT NOTE: Write the visions, dreams and goals down. Make it plain and simple that in all your getting you will have a clear understanding of what you want to accomplish in life. *
