Goal Setting And Planning - A Simple Approach
Your Vision
This is your first step to developing a solid, viable plan for your life. Make time to consider everything that you believe in and what you want your life to be about. Focus on what influence you would like your life to have on your family, your friends, your country, and the world you live in.
Put your ideas in a journal or use your computer. List anything that has meaning to you. Now write or type it out in a paragraph or more. Take your time and define this clearly.
Your Strengths
Make a list of Your Strengths. Next, list any areas of weakness.
Now this is crucial - destroy the list of weak areas and focus completely on Your Strengths.
When you have Your Personal Vision and Your Strengths crystal clear it becomes easy to...
Determine Your Goals, Outcomes, Desired Achievements, Desired Results
Reread Your Personal Vision and Your Strengths a few times and then dare to dream a little bit. Focus on what you want your life to be like if you had a limitless amount of time, money, and resources.
Make a list of anything you want to do, have, and achieve. Write down the places want to visit, people you would like to meet, things you would like to learn, and experiences you want to enjoy.
Next, pick out a single goal that you believe you can attain rapidly and easily. Write it down in detail. This will help you see the power of this simple strategy.
Your Why
Once you know what you desire to accomplish, determine Your Why. Focus on what it will mean to you as soon as you accomplish this definite goal. See yourself having attained it. Now, right below your goal, make a list of all that attaining this goal would mean to you. This is your driving force for taking action.
Your Massive Plan Of Action
Okay, you have what you would like clearly defined and you know why you would like it. Now ask yourself, "What are the actions that I have to take in order to achieve this goal?" Write them down.
Goal setting and planning helps you know clearly what you need to do. The key to getting results is taking action. Look over everything you have listed and choose what you can do right now. Taking consistent action is the key ingredient that makes things happen. As soon as you get going momentum keeps you going. You will accomplish your specific outcome and take pleasure in Your Why.
Put this easy goal setting and planning strategy into action for every outcome you have listed. Schedule a time weekly to apply this approach and take action every day.
