How to Set Business Goals You"ll Stick To & Achieve in 6 Easy Steps
In this quick and easy section, you'll learn how to set goals you'll stick to and actually achieve.
It's proven that those who set goals and have a clear plan in place to achieve them increase their chance of goals becoming a reality.
Now lets turn your dreams into reality step by step...
Step 1: How to Write your Dreams Down and Make them Your Goals
Write down how you envisage your dream life.
A study by Massey University (Switzerland) established a direct relationship between goals, focus and self-motivation.
People with clear goals have a much greater sense of purpose, and remain more focused and self-motivated.
What would you like to achieve?
Be SUPER specific.
- How much money do you want to have in the bank?
- What type of income do you want flowing in every month?
- What things would you like to own?
- What type of experiences would you like to have?
And make sure they are ‘Smart’:
S – Specific (Vague goals are just “wishes”)
M – Measurable (Can you actually measure if you achieved this)
A – Achievable (Is it possible for you to take action on this?)
R – Relevant (Is this something that ties in with your big goals in life or just a distraction?)
T – Time Bound (What's the deadline?)
A tip I learned from Brian Tracy, time management and productivity expert author of Eat That Frog, is...
- To write down your goals in past tense as if you’ve already achieved them.
- Visualize yourself as having achieved them already.
- This makes them seem more real and achievable.
- And put them somewhere, or multiple places, where you can see them every day.
I have a whiteboard that I see soon as I get out of bed in the morning.
This is a habit of the wealthy and successful, and should not be ignored.
