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.
