subject: Network Marketing Tips: Smart Goal Setting [print this page] Smart goal setting is the subject I will be dealing with today. It is something that, if only given proper attention, could change people's lives around. It's no secret that living from day to day with no clear purpose will never get you anywhere.
Now, why is this goal setting so important? Because the human brain tends to react only to those things you think about the most, the things you constantly repeat to yourself.
The good news is that we can program our brain to focus on those things that we care about and once you've actually written on paper something you really, really want and you're reading that every single day, you're going to get used to that idea and it won't seem like something impossible anymore.
Naturally, none of us possesses the ability to change the way things develop only with the power of our mind, without actually doing something for that purpose. But the important thing is to tell your mind what your expectations are and to do some kind of re-education of your own thoughts.
Setting Life Goals
Think about what you want to accomplish in 3 months, in 6 months, in one year, in 10 years, create a blueprint for your life and you're gonna see that things tend to follow the direction you give them.
But for that to happen, you need to mobilize yourself and not fall into the same trap as most people who hear about smart goal setting, acknowledge the potential of this idea, but never actually put pen to paper and let their aspirations remain distant and unattainable.
Think about it, it is your life! You can mold it into whatever shape and form you desire. So think about what your perfect life would be like in every detail, put that down on a piece of paper, make sure you read that every day from here on in, and start working your way towards that ideal.
But smart goal setting tends to remain an abstract idea for over 99% of the population, although its beneficial applications should be more than apparent.
YOU should rise above the overwhelming majority!
The percentage of truly successful people will stay under 3% regardless of the amount of motivational literature and advice from experienced trainers available.
Why?
Because people are LAZY!
It may seem unbelievable that being lazy could be such a serious drawback, but it's true. While something looks good in theory, preparing to put it into practice could prove rather demoralizing up to the point where you give up because you find it too hard to do.
If you're waiting for the perfect moment, there is no such thing. There will always be something in the way, so you have to start taking action NOW, regardless of the situation. Your first results are going to give you the confidence you need and as long as you constantly keep doing what you have to do, you will be way ahead of 99% of the people who sit and think about how it could be.
Aspirations can provide powerful motivational impulses, and all you need to do is to follow impulses with the right actions.
