Setting goals

Goals

I have touched this subject a lot before and also wrote an article called, Setting goals, before. This one is a little more specific though and describes a more in deep steps to take to take you closer to your goals.

What is important
Sit down and think about what is important for you in life. What do you want to achieve in your personal life for you and for your family and in your business? Brainstorm and write down these goals you want to accomplish on a piece of paper. This is a long term goal sheet. From now until the end.

The next 12 months
The next step is to have a look at the goals you just wrote down. Take these and divide them in to shorter term time periods. Like 6 moths, 1 year or 5 years.

Divide the goals
Divide the goals in to different areas of your life. Family, business, health, social and educational are a few examples of areas that are important in most peoples life.

Does it match
Compare your two lists of long term and short term goals. Does your short term goals help you achieve the goals on your long term goal list? Make them a match and you are going in the right direction. moving forward and getting closer to your goals in life.

Do you really want it?
Make sure the goals you set for yourself is something you really want. Not just someting that sound good. To be able to reach a goal you have to have the right mindset and be really passionate about it.

Your goals should be in an area of where your heart belongs and it should be consistent with your true values.

It is all about details
To help yourself, write your goals in complete details. Instead of writing just a “new car” on your list. Write “a fully equiped black Hummer H2″. The deeper you describe the goal the clearer the outcome gets. Give your subconcious mind something to work with.

Close your eyes and imagine your goals. Are they worth working day and night for?

Take me to the next step
Have a look at your lists. What do you have to do to take you a step closer your goals. Write down a to do list with actions to do everyday so that you can work your way up on your goal list. Update your to do list a long the way.

It is alive
Every day, week, month and year that goes by you change. And with that your goals also change. Keep your goal lists alive and have a look and make any neccesary changes every 3 months or so.

Use pictures
To make a stronger impression of your dreams and goals you should use pictures. Put up a board with pictures of dream and goals you have and have a look at them now and then to remind yourself what you are working for. The fridge is an excellent place to put the pictures. It is a place you walk by everyday.

Emotions
Be emotional with your goals. Make them yours and a part of you. Take care of them make them grow with you.
