Steps to successful goal setting

As a life and executive coach, I work with many people on my goals. Setting a goal puts you in the driver's seat, which gives you the power to change your life or take the company in the future. Being enticing in that voice, it is more common except for those goals. To be successful, check your goals against your ten steps so that you can fulfill them:

1. Belief

The first step for goal setting is to have full faith and confidence in the process. If you are not sure that you can completely change your life and get what you want, then you can also forget about the goal setting and do something else. If you are in doubt, then look around you. Whatever you can see, it started as an idea. Turn your thoughts into reality.

2. Visualize what you want

Think about what you have a deep desire in your life or you want your company to be one year from now. What is the change? What do you need to know or learn? Need to address spiritual, emotional, personal, financial, social or physical properties? With each of these dimensions clear you will bring your vision into sharp focus. As clear as you are, it will be easy to focus on doing this.

3. Bring it down!

Writing your goals is the key to success. By writing your goals, you become a producer. Failure to write your goals means that you will forget them or focus on them. They are written where you can see them every day.

4. Objectives 

Knowing why you want to achieve your goals is powerful. By identifying the purpose of your goal, you can immediately identify why you want that particular goal and whether it is worth working or not. Knowing why you want to end something, why do you give it a powerful inspiration to fulfill it. After all, if the purpose of earning a million dollars is to keep it in the bank on a rainy day, then perhaps you will not be as motivated as you need to pay for your child's cancer treatment.

5. Commitment

It may be obvious to you, but it is a step in which there are destructive results when taken lightly. Write some pages about why and how each goal is done; Why this is important to you, what does it mean, why the result is important and what are you going to do to do it? Without strong commitment you are unlikely to follow.

6. Stay focused

By focusing on your goals, you reveal. You do not know how you will reach your goals, but when you practice daily to focus, they are easy to reach. Write down your goals somewhere where you will see them every day is a good idea. Your mind will notice that there is an inconsistency between where you are now and where you want to be, which will create pressure to change. If you lose focus then you can always bring it back. Without regular practice of focusing on your goals, you can get distracted by something.

7. Action plan

To be truly clear about what you want, knowing your purpose, writing your goals, doing them, and concentrating gives you the power of clarity to write a list of actions. You do not know all the steps ahead of time, but you will know in the next direction that will take you in that direction. Keeping a goal without a plan of action is to try to complete a complex project without a project plan. Too much running, it is very unorganized, you miss the deadline and you do not have priorities. At the end you get frustrated and the project / goal falls down or falls below your weight.

8. There is no time like the current time

To show how committed you are towards your goals, think about it that you can do something that will move you forward to fulfill your goals. Even if it's just making a phone call, do it now. You will be surprised how this easy step strengthens all previous steps and motivates you and moves towards what you want. If you are not motivated to do anything, how are you getting motivated tomorrow?

9. Liability

When things get tough, to push you, you have to keep yourself responsible until you do the external assistance like a coach who provides it for you. It is understandable that someone has himself, who can provide valuable feedback on important friends like a friend or advisor. You may need accountability by telling your friends and family about your goals.

10. Review

Make it a part of your day to review your goals and take action. It keeps your goals alive and above the brain. It's a great time to change all plans in different action steps that you can take throughout the week. It will also help you to become aware if a goal is stuck and you are compensating for any other goal.

Following given steps and practicing your goals every day, you have all the elements you need to succeed and achieve your goals.
