Setting goals gives you short-term and long-term motivation. Having well thought out goals helps you set focus on the acquisition of required knowledge and helps you to plan and organize your resources and your time so that you can get the best out of your life. The basics of goal setting will involve deciding what you really want to do with your personal life and what short term and long term goals you need to achieve it.
These are just a few points to keep in mind when you begin to set your goals:
1. A very important point is your attitude. Can you tell if it is holding you back? Is it limiting you and keeping you from achieving what you want? When problems arise in your life, how have you handled them? Take a good look at yourself and decide that from now on you will look for solutions rather than excuses.
2. Possessing time management skills is another important attribute you will need to achieve your goals. If you can harness time and use it to your advantage, then you will be able to continually reach goal after goal. Develop this skill now and make it into a daily habit.
3. You may need to gain certain skills or education to be able to reach you goal. This may require getting a degree or certificate in specialized training, or it may just mean you need experience in whatever field you plan on moving up in. Whatever the case, make an outline of what skills and education you will need to reach your goals.
4. Let your family and friends know what your goals are. You need not tell everyone, but you will have to tell those closest to you how achieving your goals will effect them. Is it more time at the gym, the office, or the library? Tell them and ask them for their support. You will be amazed at how helpful this can be.
5. You will next need a plan of action. Action is the most important step in achieving your goals, but you cannot neglect any of the above mentioned points. Take your goal and split it into time frames moving from a plan set in years to a plan set in weeks. This will be your guide as you reach your weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly goals. Think what you could achieve just by sticking to your plan!
Taking action is now possible once you get through the above steps. You can now use your plan as your agenda for setting up to-do lists. You should have a daily and weekly list and consistently make sure you are moving toward your goal. If you get off track, then rearrange your steps as needed. If you make this into a habit you can honestly achieve any goal you can imagine! - 16890
