The concept of goal setting has been around for years. Yet it still seems that not many people out there are actually doing it. This comes down to a whole variety of factors. A lot of your ability to achieve goals comes from how proactive you are. This does not mean your doomed if your not a very proactive person at the moment, because personal development teaches you exactly how to be someone who is proactive and goal achieving IF that's what you want.
Becoming the kind of person that achieves goals is a very broad topic, but assuming you are the kind of person that is proactive and tries new things, here's my personal TECHNIQUE for completing goals.
1. Define EXACTLY what you want to achieve. Every little bit should be defined and every possibility should be accounted for. Also it should be positively phrased so your working towards something not away from something.
2. Analyse EXACTLY where you are now relative to your goal. Be really, really honest about this. Look at how you have spent your time over the last week and look at all the things you currently own or do. If this carries on as it is, where will you be in a year's time? This question will help you understand where you are NOW.
3. Break down every little step that's making the difference between where you are now and how you will be once the goal is completed. This can take some time, but it is definately worth it if your serious about completing you goal. Small chunk all the steps towards achieving your goal until you have the first steps you can start completing TODAY. Then know what you will be doing THIS WEEK. If you find yourself struggling to complete your first challenge, this means you need to small chunk it even more until completing the first step is really easy. This rule applies with any obstacle you come across. Once you are completing the little steps the momentum will start to build and it should all start becoming habitual and easier.
4. Set reminders EVERYWHERE reminding you of the goal you want to achieve. They should be so obvious you can almost not stop thinking about this new goal, because this will really help you break out of the old habits that are NOT getting you the results you want.
Try it out NOW.
