Eight steps to achieve any goal

-

1. Know exactly what you want
This may sound obvious but unless you know exactly what you want, how can you achieve it? The more details, numbers, dates there are, you will be able to better plan what you want to accomplish. You need a very clear focus of what you do want in order to receive it.

2. Write down your goals
This is one technique that separates the people who succeed and the people who fail. We are constantly reminded how important it is to write down our goals yet very very few of us do it. According to research you are 95% more likely to achieve your goal if it is written down. Enough said. Do it!

3. Believe
If you try and achieve a goal that you don't truly believe in, your subconscious mind will not allow you to achieve it. You'll only succeed in tearing yourself up inside. As Napoleon Hill said, "Whatever the mind of a man can conceive and believe, it can achieve."


4. Remind yourself constantly of the goal
The more you repeat it to your subconscious mind, the more it will be programmed in. There are a variety of techniques you can use including repeating affirmations or using subliminal software. If you spend a lot of time on your computer I recommend using software that flashes messages on your screen that only the subconscious can pick up.

5. Be passionate about your goal
You're far more likely to achieve your goal if it excites you. Think about all the benefits to you once you have achieved your goal. Imagine how you would feel, how would your life be different.

6. Break it down into bite size chunks
If you have really big goals then great. The only way you'll be big is to think big. However sometimes you may need to break it down into smaller intermediate goals. It makes it easier for you to believe it's possible and it helps you organise yourself on a short, medium and long term.

7. Reward yourself along the way
Every time you have some success make sure you reward yourself. It will help keep the desire and enthusiasm burning. It will also tell your subconscious mind you're achieving your goals.

8. Stay positive at all times
Ultimately the only person who can stop you achieving your goals is YOU. Fear and self doubt are common enemies but are only created in your mind. You must also make sure that you are concentrating on what you do want, not what you don't want.

Remember the only way you will fail is if you give up.

Are You Stuck? Consider Changing Your Focus!

If you sometimes feel as though you’re caught in life’s quicksand, you have a lot of company. We work, we struggle, we try to do everything we possibly can to move on to a higher level of well-being but it seems like the harder we work, the more stuck we get. If you’re approaching a Category 5 frustration level, you might give this a try… Switch your focus from that really nice – but frustrated – person in the mirror to one or more of the other folks who inhabit this good earth. I realize that it’s important to watch out for number one – ourselves. We need to set goals, lay out plans and then do those things we need to do so that we can at least make some progress toward our goals. We need to demonstrate personal financial responsibility, plan for retirement and frequently just cover our backside so it doesn’t get chewed off by one or more of life’s rodents. However, what frequently happens is that we become so over-focused on ourselves and our own personal well-being that we wind ...

3 Tips for Managing Your Life

Good news: from getting organized to maximizing your time, there are some easy ways to stay focused and achieve your goals. What Areas Need the Most Work? Watching a reality TV show may be more entertaining than cleaning the bathroom or folding the laundry, but it won't keep your home from becoming a biohazard. Establishing and sticking to priorities will help you spend less time worrying about what needs to be done and more time accomplishing your goals. Consider using Sunday evenings, when you normally mourn the end of the weekend, to go over weekly goals and priorities. This is a great way to stay focused on what you want to accomplish without getting ahead of yourself. Cut Out the Junk If you're like most people, you keep possessions well beyond their usefulness. When your white clothes start turning yellow, or you find boxes and boxes that you can’t even remember what is inside, then it’s time to get rid of some items. Consider selling old appliances, c...

Do What You Love To Do

What do you want to be when you grow up? I’m sure you were asked this question at least once when you were young. When asked the question, did you have an answer ready, or did you need a few minutes to think about it? We all had dreams of becoming something great, like a lawyer, a teacher, or a movie star, just to name a few. Well, how did you do? Maybe you never aspired to be what you set out to be or said that you would become. But then again, things change. The older we get, our tastes change, our view of the world changes, even our ambitions change. One of the most important lessons I’ve learned during my career path is to do something you love to do. Why is this important? I feel that if you enjoy what you make a living at, you end up being happy in more ways than one. Life itself becomes much more interesting and fun. You find yourself speaking passionately to others about your work. The experiences you have along the way become much more rewarding and enrich your life in many wa...
