Goal Setting To Achieve The Results You Want – Today
Goal setting is a necessary part of motivating ourselves into action. As soon as we determine a want, need or a desire we set a goal and make a plan to achieve that goal. Goal setting requires discipline, hard work, prior planning and good time management skills.
Goal setting is a process where you let your imagination go wild with your passion for life and the things you enjoy doing. If you like to sail but don’t own a boat your goal might be to make a plan or set a goal to own your own sailboat in five years. Goal setting is about self-discovery and achievement. How badly do you want to own your own dream house? After you have determined what you want you need to formulate a plan to get it. Goal setting is planning and implementation.
Common goal setting is the desire for financial wealth. Most people want money so they can buy things. When you ask individuals what would they do with a million dollars most people don’t have a ready answer because they have not set goals. Goal setting help individuals focus on positive aspects of work and achievement. Most people must work to support themselves. One of our first goals had to do with acquiring an education so we could get a job to make money to pay the rent and buy food. Our second goal may have been making more money on our job and saving money to invest in home ownership. For every goal there must be a plan in writing.
Goal setting contributes to an environment that is conducive to self-improvement. Goal setting almost always involves money directly or indirectly. It doesn’t cost a lot of money to play tennis, but if you want to play everyday before you work and travel for major tennis competitions you have some planning to do. Goal setting is a way for people to determine what they want for their lives and a plan to achieve it.
What do you want and how will you get it? Goal setting always requires action. Understand what makes you happy and gives you a sense of satisfaction. Determine how close you are to living your ideal life and identify the elements that are mission from what would make your life ideal. Goal setting is determination to achieve the things you desire. Think of goal setting on a very small level at first. For example, if you want to own your dream home in five years determine how much your dream home will cost and where you will get the financing from. Is your goal of dream home ownership in five years realistic or can you make owning your dream home a more distant goal, setting other smaller goals that are designed to accomplish the main goal of dream home ownership?
What will you do until your dream home is a reality? Can you still plan to enjoy your life as you implement your plan for dream home ownership? Goal setting should not always be monetary. Goal setting should include areas of self-improvement that will enhance your overall productivity and this will make accomplishing any goal easier. Do you have the skills you need to achieve the goals you have set for yourself? If not how will you obtain these skills?
Goal setting requires first that you understand where your enjoyment for life comes from. What do you want for your life on a daily basis? If more than anything you want to replace your stupid boss with your own business but you don’t know how, your goal must begin with a plan to replace your boss. How long will it take to start your own business? What kind of business will you operate? Is your plan to operate your own business realistic? Maybe your immediate goal should be to get another job or learn other skills that will allow you to earn more money.
What if your goal setting doesn’t involve money but self-improvement issues like loosing weight and getting in shape. What are your immediate goals? Would your immediate goal be to stick to a more healthy diet ad a routine of daily exercise?
Goal setting should not be a burden but a motivating factor that get you closer to the lifestyle you truly desire.
