Achieving Your Goals In 5 Easy Steps

Achieving goals is much more a process then it is an event. This is likely why many goals go

unaccomplished. Often people in an initial burst of enthusiasm set goals but eventually their drive dies

out due to a lack of motivation. The end results of course are the failure to reach goals that have been

set. Goals and objectives should not be regarded as an impulse but more of a well planned out series of

pre-defined actions that focus on achieving a particular result.

Establishing business goals for instance is necessary to better coordinate the efforts required to reach

the desired objectives. Since these type goals are rooted in profits and income we tend to take them

more seriously thus the plan of action is usually carried out more precisely. But in almost every case

setting goals will require developing a plan of action that will take time and effort to successfully

implement and complete. Your willing participation and resolve will be needed in this process for you to

actually reach goals you have set.

Let's look at the 5 step process that comprises the establishment and pursuit of any goals and objectives

that you may target either professionally or personally.

Planning

This is the initial phase where you determine what your personal or business goals are to be.

Consideration should be given to how realistic these goals are. Unrealistic goals will only lead to wasted

time and effort not to mention the discouragement and frustration you will experience.

Time

Many goals and objectives that you may target can not be accomplished in one day. They will require an

investment of your continual diligence and patience over an extended period of time. These are typically

referred to as long term goals

Commitment

Most long term goals will demand a certain commitment on your part in order for them to be

successfully achieved. This commitment normally targets maintaining a consistent effort towards

achieving any goal you may have set out to accomplish.

Sacrifice

The efforts you are investing to accomplish your objectives may sometimes come in conflict with other

interests of yours. Avoiding the temptation to pursue these other interests will result in your voluntarily

sacrificing this time to devote to pursuing the goals you have set.

Perseverance

Set backs or disappointments will occur when your plans or efforts do not always yield the intended

results you seek. It is at times like this that your resolve and motivation will be tested. How you react to

these situations will be a good measure as to whether you will succeed in reaching your intended

objectives.

Achieving goals is an accomplishment that usually results after participating in a series of pre-planned

actions carried out over a period of time. Setting goals is actually not that difficult it is the commitment

to the process that offers the biggest challenge. It is also important you set goals that you have a deep

desire to reach. If you do not possess the necessary desire your lack of motivation will eventually

overcome your willingness to put forth any more effort. In the end you have wasted time and possibly

resources. It is also important to realize setting and accomplishing goals is less an impulse and more a

process as we discussed here. This realization should help prepare you to better select and commit to

any goals you may set for yourself or your business in the future.
