How important is goal setting?
You can’t hit a target you can’t see… or arrive at the right place when you don’t know where you’re going.
Your goals determine how successful, or unsuccessful, you will be in life.
In fact, through my research I’ve found that all top business people and self-made millionaires have very detailed goals-while those stuck barely scraping by have vague dreams or wishes.
The problem is, most people set goals – which they never achieve.
Why? What is the difference between people who set goals and reach them, and the people who set goals and never come close?
I see a few differences:
- You’ve got to have a really big dream, one that totally captures your imagination, that truly inspires you.
- Choose a model, someone who has done what you want to do. Study every aspect of that person, their skills, their resources, and what they have achieved, so you understand what it takes.
- Write down every detail of that dream, no matter how trivial it may seem. The more detail you can picture in your mind, the closer you get to your dream becoming reality.
- Spend time each day picturing your exact dream. After you have built your dream picture, it doesn’t take but 3-5 minutes a day to focus completely on it. That action will drive you to your dream’s achievement.
- Focus every action in your day on making some part of your dream a reality.
- Wherever fear or doubt enter the picture, step right into them. Do whatever it is you fear, over and over, so it no longer looms as a stop on your dream.
- Never ever ever quit.
I have personally found these steps to be very effective.
Here is a program that I’ve gone through that has helped me tremendously. I highly recommend it. It’s called The Science of Self-Confidence – How to Build Rock Solid Self-Confidence and Achieve All of Your Goals, by Brian Tracy.
Think of all the things you could do if you enjoyed super levels of self-confidence… your career would be booming, offers would be flying your way, everyone would want to be with you. You would have more opportunities to find that “special someone.” By using the ideas in The Science of Self-Confidence, everything becomes possible. Your belief in your ability to succeed in all areas of life becomes unshakable. Your life will never be the same, once you learn to practice The Science of Self-Confidence.
Brian Tracy has studied, researched, written and spoken for 30 years in the fields of economics, history, business, philosophy and psychology. He is the top selling author of over 45 books that have been translated into dozens of languages. He’ll help you as he’s helped me.
