However, you do need to make them something that is achievable. You should never set yourself up for failure by having extraordinary goals that are impossible to reach. Start small and work your way up, for now. Here are some more tips to help, as well.
Being able to choose your own career and set your own goals basically opens up a whole world of opportunity for you. However, you need to be sure to take the time to think realistically about what you want and need from your job so that you can make the most of your experience every single time. Set goals that you can actually achieve, and plan your life so that you reach those achievements in a quick succession and have your dream career in no time at all. Setting career goals is a great idea, but only if you're going to be realistic.
For example, don't set a career goal of being a 6-figure CEO by the time you are 25. Only 2-3 years out of college, you will definitely not be at this point unless you pull some major strings or know all the right people to get you into the position. Think more along the lines of being in that position by the time that you are 30, or even 35, because you cannot handle a position like this without the experience that comes with age in your career. Make sure that you are aware of the steps that you need to take to achieve these goals, as well, so that you can make the most of every situation every single time.
No one should ever sell themselves short. This is true when setting your career goals. Finding the balance between aiming too high and not aiming high enough should be a goal within itself. Saying what you expect to happen and actually seeing the desired results manifest are two very separate issues. Success comes more along the lines of hard work and careful studying those around you in the same career fields, for insight and understanding the process they had to take to achieve the success you are trying to achieve. Never give up on the dreams you dreamed when the goals you have set in place are yours for the taking. Life is so much sweeter when you realize your dreams and goals have all come true.
The road to being a millionaire runs along side the road to poverty. It is all in the choices you make and the goals you set for your future. Anything is attainable if the goals are within reason, as well as, nothing is attainable if the goals are unclear. Your future is bright or it will have no light. It all depends on how well you plan your work and work your plan. Making the right career goals require you to be specific and aim within reach.
