Let’s Remind Ourselves That We Are Human – Your Morning Motivational Tonic With Tim Abel

If you want to find any success in your life, you need to set goals.

Without having goals for yourself, you will lack focus and direction in your life.

Not only do goals allow you to take control of your life, but they also provide you with the benchmarks for determining your success.

Setting a goal is the process that begins with your careful consideration of what you want to achieve and ends with you putting in the hard work to achieve it.

Here are five secrets of goal setting that will set you up for success.

1.    Set Goals that Motivate You

If you have limited interest in the outcome of your goals, or they are irrelevant to the bigger picture, your motivation to work on achieving them will be low.

Set goals related to the high priorities in your life.

It requires a commitment to achieve your goals, so to ensure you achieve success, you need to set specific goals that motivate you.

2.    Set SMART Goals

This, of course, is not new to many of us for the very long time it has been there.

The relevance is what matters.

So, for your goals to be powerful, they need to be SMART.

To increase your chances of success, your goals need to be:

• Specific
• Measurable
• Attainable
• Relevant
• Time-Bound

3.    Write Down Your Goals

When you physically write down your goal, it becomes real and tangible.

It eliminates any chance that you will forget about it.

Be sure to frame your goal statement positively to help increase the rate of retention. Post your goals someplace where you will see them every day as a constant reminder of what you want to achieve.

You could decide to put it everywhere you know you always find yourself during the day.

Your bedside, your door, your table, your kitchen. Just find it and put it there.

4.    Make an Action Plan

Often, we get so focused on the outcome of our goals, that we forget to create a plan of action for accomplishing them.

Take the time to write down the individual steps that you will need to take to achieve your goals.

As you complete each level, cross it off so you can visually see the progress that you are making.

It makes you remain focused and can be able to see clearly your progress.

5.    Stick with It

Goal setting is an ongoing activity, not merely a means to an end.

Keep yourself on track by creating reminders, and schedule regular blocks of time to sit down and review your goals and progress.

You want to make sure that the relevance, necessity, and value remain high as you work toward accomplishing your goals.

Setting goals are more than merely saying you want something to happen.

To find success, you need to clearly define exactly what you want and understand why you want it in the first place.

Implement these steps in all your goal setting endeavors and watch as you accomplish each one.

See You At The Top…..
