Without goals, we will never be able to measure our success
. We need goals to keep us motivated and help us stay on the path to what we truly desire. In order to achieve our goals they need to be measurable and attainable. There must be something at the end of the journey that you want to achieve. You need to have a clear idea and picture of what you want your end result to be.
Start by focusing on where you want to be in a certain amount of time. Your goal might be an achievement goal, an income goal or a personal development goal. Whichever type of goal you choose be sure to give it a date. Without a date this goal is just a wish.
Once you have your goal and date you will be able to create your plan of action. This plan should contain the who, what, where, and how. Break your goal down into the steps you will need to take in order to achieve it. Write these steps down on a piece of paper. This is easier then you think! If your goal is an income amount by a certain date, decide what you need to do every day in order to get one step closer to your goal. Decide what resources you will need and how you are going to do what you need to do every day.
These notes will be your plan of action.
Without a plan you will be overwhelmed and under accomplished. Set small objectives that align with your goals to keep you on track and motivated. Do whatever it takes to follow your plan and be prepared to adjust your focus if something unexpected happens.
Once you have your goals and plan in place nothing should stop you from achieving them!
