Goal Setting to Take Actions

Goal setting is an essential part of your life if you ever want to achieve the things you set out to do. You can tell yourself (and others) all day long that you want to make seven figures and go on a cruise around the world, but if you don’t set up exact steps to take to get to that goal, it won’t happen.

Set SMART Goals

Read all you can about setting SMART goals. Essential learning how to set SMART goals will help you develop goals and make plans to achieve results. Learning this method is going to help you in all aspects of your life.

A SMART goal is a goal that is specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely. This means that you need to name the result, have a way to judge if you have met your goal, and ensure that it’s realistic. Also, the result needs a due date.

Start from Planning from The Result

Once you have figured out what result you desire, you need to plan from that due date backward until the day you want to start working toward the goal, such as today. Every single day, you’re working on something to get you to your goal in a timely manner without deadline pressure.

Develop Action Steps

From the planning phase, you want to come up with each action step that you need to take, other people need to make, and that must be finished to achieve the goals you have set. For example, if you’ve set a goal to declutter your home in 2020, you’ll want to start from day one of 2020 with small steps each day that will result in an uncluttered home by December 31, 2020.

Schedule Everything

Put everything you’ve decided to do on a schedule in your calendar. Remember that your calendar should have everything you need to do and want to do written down in it. This is the best way to achieve more by chunking your time for each goal you’re working toward in a realistic way. It’s so much easier to focus on today this way than what is going to happen six months from now.

Find an Accountability Partner

It really depends on your goal, who should be your accountability partner. Don’t think it always has to be a person or someone who is doing the same as you. You can gain accountability on your own by scheduling reviews of your progress during the action part of working toward your goal. You can also hire a life coach, get a counselor, or just ask your best friend. However, it’s vital that you choose someone who doesn’t struggle with the same blockers as you.

Keep Working Toward Your Goal

This is the most essential factor for goal setting for action takers. Perform the actions you’ve set up to achieve the results you desire. If you’ve done an excellent job scheduling and planning, it should just be a matter of following the roadmap you created for yourself.

Achieving goals requires action. Setting SMART goals will help you design the steps that are most impactful toward reaching those goals that you set. Take the time to use SMART goals for everything you want to achieve, and you’ll find yourself growing in success more and more every day.

It’s pretty common to hear people, especially on social media, broadcast their goals in life. They want to be “this” and “that.” They’ll be big superstars by the time they turn 25, or they’ll be millionaires by 30, and so on.

For the most part, these goals are mere posturing. They’re not actually going to achieve their goals. Sure, they’re probably going to start drafting a plan on how exactly they’re going to conquer their goals, but they’re still going to fail big time.

The #1 reason why people fail to achieve goals is that they’re not making the right kind of goals. They’re only making vague goals.

Ask them the specifics of their goal, and they won’t have a solid answer. They just want to become rich, they just want to be happy, they want to become financially free. But they don’t know exactly when that’s going to happen. If you ask them, they’ll probably say “whenever.”

Another reason is that most people are all talk, and no action. They’ll share their goals with everyone, but when it comes to taking action, they’ll bolt.

Even if they have a smart goal in place, they’ll still lack that motivation to actually do something to achieve that goal. They’ll find it too hard or too difficult. Suddenly, they’ll be too busy working on something else and won’t have time to work on their goals.

The third reason is people simply can’t commit. They probably think someone else is going to help them achieve their goals! But that’s their goal, right?

Or, maybe they’ve got a few hundred big goals they’re working on (small goals toward a single big goal is different) and they don’t know which goal they’re going to pursue today.

They can’t make up their minds. They can’t even be bothered to figure out which goal appeals most to them, they’re just putting everything out there, hoping someday something will come to life!

Lastly, many people don’t know how to deal with failure. They encounter failure for the first time, and they tuck their tails in and hide away somewhere, never to be seen again.

The right approach when dealing with failure is to learn from it. It’s okay to feel hurt, to feel disappointed in yourself. But don’t let that be the reason you no longer want to move forward with your goals.

Have you heard that you’re 97% more likely to achieve your goals if you write

them down?

The truth is that goal setting is important. In fact, it’s without goal setting you

may never achieve the dreams of your heart.

Every person in the world devotes countless hours to thinking of their future

and their present situation in life. Almost everyone wishes that there was

something that they could change in their life.

Whether you dream of a new car, a boat, or even to be a movie star, goal

setting is the important catalyst to your success. So let’s get started because in

this audio you will learn the fundamentals of goal setting, which begins with -

how to choose the RIGHT goals to focus on.

Many of us are great at trying to set goals; most of us are practically incapable

of following through with them. Think about it. How many times have you

decided on a course of action and simply didn’t follow through with it?

That is pretty much the norm for most people. Sometimes even setting goals at

all is the harder part of accomplishing any. The easiest way of looking at this is

to think of each and every New Year.

What is the biggest topic of conversation every year on New Year’s Eve? It is

actually the resolutions. But most us will only keep our resolutions for a short

time. With each passing day and week, fewer and fewer of us STICK to our

plans and our goals!

Sometimes setting goals alone is not the only problem that you must face.

Sometimes, choosing the right goals to begin with is harder. Basically, you can

choose to work any goal that you feel is necessary for your health, stability and

happiness.

Goal setting is nothing more than a formal process for personal planning. By

setting goals on a routine basis you decide what you want to achieve, and then

move in a step-by-step manner towards the achievement of these goals

The process of setting goals and targets allows you to choose where you want

to go in life. By knowing exactly what you want to achieve, you know what you

have to concentrate on to do it.

Goal setting is a standard technique used by professional athletes, successful

business people and high achievers in all fields. It gives you long-term vision

and provides you with short-term motivation.

It helps to focus your attention and knowledge, which helps you to organize

your resources. By setting sharp and clearly defined goals, you can measure

and take pride in the achievement of those goals. You can see forward

progress in what might previously have seemed a long pointless effort.

By setting goals, you will also raise your self-confidence, as you recognize your

ability to meet the goals that you have set. The process of achieving goals and seeing this achievement gives you confidence that you will be able to achieve

higher and more difficult goals later on.

Goals are set on a number of different levels.

In the first place, you decide what you want to do with your life and

what large-scale goals you want to achieve.

Second, you break these down into the smaller aims that you must hit so that

you reach your overall lifetime goals. Finally, once you have your plan, you

start working towards achieving it.
