Good, Clear Goal Setting Helps To Clearly Define Your Road Map To The Hidden Treasure!...
Don't underestimate the importance of goal setting. If you set goals correctly, the finished product is your road map to the buried treasure. Excitement will quickly follow because you now know EXACTLY how to get to it. Because it's no longer a needle in a haystack, you have the ever so important, and much needed - CLARITY!...
Leaving you to just have to follow the map.
"But goal setting is so hard", I hear you say...
Yeah it can be SOMETIMES, but the more and more you do it, the easier it becomes. But more importantly, it'll eventually become a habit! And, instead of looking at goal setting as a tedious task, you'll start to enjoy doing it! Besides, the mere fact that it isn't 'easy', should encourage you because life is 'designed' in a way that the easier things DON'T yield the greatest results!
Generally, it's the minority that bother to set goals, and to me that, in itself, is a good reason to do it, why? Because the average person's life is NOT where they want it to be, so therefore...
It's often good practice to use the majority as a CONTRARY indicator of what to do in a given situation. For example, the majority don't take time to set goals, so you would do the opposite!
So basically, we need to set goals to achieve success, but...
Are you clear on what it actually is you want to be successful at?
PUT IT INTO PERSPECTIVE
Obviously, I would recommend everybody to carry out goal setting, but I must stress the importance of setting the right type of goals, in the right order. Put another way, it's important to prioritise your goals. Does that make sense? NO...
OK, I'll quickly explain...
Does it make sense to go out and buy a car stereo BEFORE you own a car? You obviously need to put first things FIRST! When it comes to planning your DREAM life, getting first things first is CRUCIAL. Many people overlook the important of strengthening their foundational values, BEFORE even thinking about following self improvement strategies. This is often the route cause of successes and failures in life!...
In a nutshell, it's incredibly important to build ROCK-SOLID foundations BEFORE you set off trying to rule the world. Please believe me, you'll thank yourself for it, and me too, hopefully!
Moving Forward...
Any good plan, should have the following...
A Goal, this goal should, were possible, be broken down into smaller goals (Small, manageable, monthly, repayments). Each goal should be clear, easily understandable and MUST be precise, e.g. I want to earn 100k from property development by 1st January 2020. The steps towards achieving these goals should be clear, doable, structured and logical.
Consider this...
There is no goal you can set that is more important then living a meaningful, passionate, abundant life, PERIOD! You just need to work out what your life needs to entail so you can achieve this!
