Conclusion Of How To Set Goals Series

These are some tips that I have covered that will keep you on target:

* Be specific and know what you want. Don’t be vague and unsure. If you don’t know what you want how can you get it?
* Do have a time line. If you want to go to college give yourself (4) years. Not having a definite time to graduate means you could get your degree in (10) years or never.
* Brainstorm at the beginning of your goal setting process any obstacles or challenges that could emerge and sabotage your great plans. If your goals are long term do this frequently.
* Goals must be written down to embed them into your subconscious. When goals are not written down on paper it is a dream and we all know what happens to dreams. We forget about them.
* Have a plan of action. This is what, when and how in the accomplishment of your goal. The more detail the plan the better your chances are for success.
* You absolutely must have a passion or compelling and burning desire to go after what you want. There will be obstacles that come up and your passion for your goal will keep you on target. Giving up will not be an option.
* State your outcome in positive ways. Engage your feelings. Become emotionally attached to your goal.
* Read and state your goal daily. The best time is first time in the morning and the last thing before going to bed. If I have a challenge I will ask my subconscious how to solve it just before going to sleep but before I affirm a good night sleep and I get an answer that I act on immediately. This is why people use the phrase “let me sleep on it.”
* Focus. What you focus on expands and become part of your reality.

What To Do To Achieve The Goals I Have Set

I have set my goals so, how do I get what I want. I don’t know how to achieve my goals you say. Let me explain.

Many people are guilty of setting goals and nothing happens. To prove this point think about the New Year’s resolutions many people make and not keep or should I say not know how to keep.

In lesson two I set a goal to take an imaginary trip to Italy. Let us continue with this goal. Freely use one of your goals in its place as well. If you have not read part one and two of “Goal Setting” please red them first.

We wrote your goal to take a trip to Italy. All plans are made. The trip was a year out when planned. Let us assume it still is. The goal to take this trip to Italy is one you want to really achieve.

To anchor your trip in your mind you must get emotionally attached to it. To do this you can go online or to your favorite local bookstore or library and get books on Italy. You look at the details of your trip and you see that you are going to Rome, Venice and Florence.
