A personal goal is like a sailor looking for north on a compass. It points you in the right direction on what you want to achieve in life and helps you to maintain a positive approach on the road to the goal. To do this however, it's essential that you make your goals as precise and clear as possible. You'll want to make it as effortless as possible for you to reach them.
When you set out a descriptive & detailed roadmap for
yourself instead of an idea in your head, you have empowered yourself for
success. Not only do you have a path set out before you but you now know
exactly what you need to do to get there. plans also tend to invigorate you
with more enthusiasm.
This serves as a powerful self motivator, and gives you the excitement you need to continue down your road to success.

Follow these steps to ensure your hit your goals:
KNOWING THE PURPOSE AND KNOWING WHY YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE
WHATEVER YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE IS THE FIRST STEP TO SETTING UP ANY GOAL OR GOALS.
1. What is your final & ultimate goal? What is it exactly
that you want to achieve?
Try not to use a goal like "I want to be
successful," be a lot more specific, such as "I want to run my own
business with a profit of at least £10,000 per month."
2. Don't be put off by specifics. You have the final decision
on what you want. Just don't be afraid to set the details. Avoid goals like
"I want to be rich" because there is no detail:
- How much money do you want to make?
- Why? What do you want to do with this money?
- How will you want to earn this money?
- How soon do you want this to happen?
- What are you preparing yourself for this?
The ultimate goal at a glance may seem intimidating and unattainable. So it's
important to break up your main goal into smaller goals. Write out detailed
plans about how you'll reach each of the smaller goals.
For example, if you want to start your own business, a small
goal would be to research your local and national business laws and register a
Limited Company.
4. Set yourself some realistic deadlines. It's essential you
give yourself deadlines to highlight your progress along the way. Each of your
small goals should have an attainable deadline.
For example, you'd give yourself a week to research different
business structures and laws before opening your Limited company.
5. Track your goals as you are progressing through them.
Making detailed notes about what you have done so far & keeping a track of
your progress will help you stay on top of your goals.
6. Always have a contingency plan. Occasionally you won't be
able to make the deadline you have set out for yourself, and this can be
because of a host of different reasons. You may find that you'll be unable to
follow through with a current plan entirely.
It's important to think of the alternatives in case certain
situations don't work out. Having these in place saves you a lot of time if you
run into a roadblock later on the way to your goals.
Prioritise Your Life
Organising your goals means keeping all of your detailed
plans and journals in a folder with tabs within hands reach. You may decide to
have electronic copies of your notes and goals saved, just remember to keep
photocopies, digital backups or email copies handy to ensure you don’t lose
them.
It doesn’t matter what method you've chosen, remember when
setting your goals
- Define
the details
- Set
smaller attainable goals that lead toward your ultimate goals
- Be
flexible so you can overcome your challenges, and keep track of your progress.
Doing these things will bring you ultimate clarity and
success.
Good Luck and GOD Bless
