Don’t Overlook this Simple Task: Goal Setting
When we make a checklist, once we finished a task, don’t we feel wonderful to check that box. One of the most important aspects of success is goal setting. A simple task, but yet only few actually do it. How many people actually write down their goals? I’ve asked people about what are their goals, some people have no idea, some people have goals, but they don’t write them down, and few have goals that are written on paper. Having goals in writing triple our commitment and accomplished them at a faster pace. Always write down the goals. When we are little, teachers teach us that anyone can reach their dreams. Having goals are vital to success. Remember goals are anything you want to do, be and have.
There 5 great things about goals
- Guide and direct behavior
- Focus
- Anticipation
- Organization
- Progress
Goals are in three groups
- Short term-6 months or less
- Intermediate- 6 months to 2 years
- Long term goals-Many years
In order to reach our goals, we need to do it step by step. We need to finish short term goals before jumping to the long term goals. Short term goals leads to intermediate goals. Eventually our long term goals will be reached if we follow through with everything.
The decision to be successful is in our own hands. Have a goal, focus, take ACTION!
