Setting Goals |
EXPRESS YOUR GOAL IN TERMS OF SPECIFIC EVENTS OR BEHAVIOURS.
Identify and define your goal with great specificity. Know the answers to the following:
- What are the specific behaviours or operations that make up the goal? What will you be doing or not doing when you are “living” the goal?
- How will you recognize the goal when you have it?
- How will you feel when you have it?
EXPRESS YOUR GOAL IN TERMS THAT CAN BE MEASURED.
- In order for your life to be wonderful, where would you live?
- In order for it to be wonderful, who would you spend your life with?
- How much money would you have?
- In what type of work or activities would you be involved?
- How would you behave?
- How much time would you spend doing certain activities?
ASSIGN A TIMELINE TO YOUR GOAL.
You will obtain your goal only if you are on a timeline and commit to a certain date.
CHOOSE A GOAL YOU CAN CONTROL.
In identifying a goal, strive for what you can create not for what you can’t. E.g. winning the lotto is not a goal you can create!
PLAN AND PROGRAM A STRATEGY THAT WILL GET YOU TO YOUR GOAL.
Make a plan, work your plan, and you will achieve your goal. Rely on strategy and planning and programming, not on your willpower. Arrange your environment in such a way that it “pulls for” the result you desire. Identify those places, times, situations, people and circumstances that set you up for failure.
DEFINE YOUR GOALS IN TERMS OF STEPS.
CREATE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR YOUR PROGRESS FORWARD. |
