Well, you know, to achieve amazing results, to be successful in your life, you will have to start from believing that you can do it, set goals, and develop strategies and taking action. Without any of the above mentioned steps, it is impossible you will achieve what you want.
Nine out of ten people who set their goals fail to achieve what they want. Is this means that goal setting is not working? What about the one person that makes his or her dreams come true? In fact, it is not that goal setting does not work. It is just that people are getting excited; they set their goals and only take a little action for a few days.
After that, they lose the drive that keeps them going. They somehow procrastinate and stop taking any action anymore. That is why most people did not achieve what they want even if they have set their goals.
Now, before you set your goals, there are 3 guaranteed ways you must follow in order to stay motivated all the time. Many people set their goals, but give up as soon as they started. This is because they did not follow these 3 keys that are going to supercharge them toward their goals.
Set Specific and Clear Goals
Yes, I believe that you know about this. If you are going to set goals, your goals must be very clear and specific. The more specific your goals, the easier you can frame your mind to achieve it. It is going to create such an intense image in your mind that propels you into taking action right away.
So the first thing about your goals is that they must be clear and specific. ‘Becoming rich’ is not clear, however, ‘to make $1,000 in 2 months’ will be very clear. Therefore, make sure that you know what you want, be specific.
Set the Deadline
Once you have your goals set, you need to know when you are going to achieve it. It is useless if you set a goal, but you don’t specify when you are going to achieve it. Without a deadline, your mind will not create the sense of urgency, and that is why you are not going to achieve it.
Once you have a deadline for your goals, you mind will tell you that it is time to achieve it. It will somehow force you into taking action. Think about it, whether you are in schools or in your work, you will get your work done whenever the deadline is near.
Set Stretch Goals
What are stretch goals? Stretch goals are the goals that are excited, and are challenging. To earn $100 in your business is not a stretch goal, it is an incremental goal. This is because you can simply achieve it by working harder. While for stretch goal, it is something like, to earn $50,000 in your business.
A stretch goal will force your mind to operate from a creative mind frame. You know that if you keep on doing the same thing, putting in more effort and time, it is possible for you to achieve your incremental goals like earning an extra $200. However, for stretch goals, they are not the same. You will not achieve it if you are using the same approach. Working harder and spending more time are not going earn you an extra $50,000.
This is how your mind will force you into taking new creative actions, coming up with new strategies to achieve your excited goals.
Remember, if you are going to set your goals today, make sure that you follow all the three steps mentioned here.
