What are your goals today?

Each and every day, we should wake up and have at least one thing we would like to accomplish, whether it is housework, yard work, your website, or even staying in bed all day.

Goals are defined as

An observable and measurable end result having one or more objectives to be achieved within a more or less fixed timeframe.

(thank you http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/goal.html#ixzz2ivR09uQh). This is not a blog about the steps to setting objectives and meeting a goal. This blog will concentrate on the part that happens AFTER you write down what you are trying to achieve. And it all starts with this:

DO IT!

Quite simple, just do it. After you write down your objectives, put it into actions. The easy part is putting it on the paper. But then we sometimes look at what we need to achieve and lost motivation. Today is the day to pick up that paper and do at least ONE thing. As you force yourself to commit to doing one action from your objective, you will find it easier to carry forth.

DONT GIVE UP

It is easy to lose motivation when trying to achieve goals, especially if we don't see the result immediately. (think abut those of us trying to lose weight). That is why it is important to set reasonable timeframes. One thing to remember is to set the time period to YOUR life style. Perfect example. We come to WA and ready to jump into building out website. So we say that we will devote 40 hours a week to it. But somewhere we forget that we work 40 hours, then still have to come home and take care of house. So then we realize that we don't have that type of time in us and we feel like a failure. Make your goals fit your time. This is not a race but a marathon. Don't give up.

BE FLEXIBLE

This is just as important as DO IT!. Sometimes we become "stuck in our design" and become frustrated when the it does not go as plan. It is okay to redefine, re organize, and totally redo. If you are flexible with your goals, then that will keep away the frustration and keep you focused on the task at hand. I really feel this is the most important thing that you can do for your success.

Goals are a crazy species. You need to have them in your life to succeed, but they can make you crazy trying to achieve them. So today, let each and every single one of us achieve one.
