The Purpose of Goals

The purpose of goals is to give you something that you want to enhance your life in some way, so the most important thing you need to know about goals is that you ought to have some.

Key to Setting Goals

Identify what is important to you. What do you want to accomplish?

Make a list of what you feel are the best and most effective ways of reaching the goals you have already identified.

Now that you have made a list of several ways to achieve your goal, recognize which of these strategies will work best for you.

Once you have narrowed down your strategy list, you can begin to make very detailed and specific plans to accomplish each strategy and ultimately reach your goal.

Once we have a well-formed Goal Statement we need some direction to follow to achieve this Goal.

"AN UNWRITTEN WANT IS A WISH, A DREAM, - IT NEVER HAPPEN. THE DAY YOU PUT YOUR GOAL IN WRITING IS

THE DAY IT BECOMES A COMMITMENT THAT WILL

CHANGE YOUR LIFE. ARE YOU READY?"

- TOM HOPKINS

BE FLEXIBLEBe ready to re-adjust your goals

and not give up on them. If they are too easy, they won't be worthwhile, and if they are too tough, and you will start thinking that the idea of goal setting is worthless. Remember, small victories lead to big successes.

REVIEWEDFinally, a goal must be REVIEWED. Share your goals with friends and family

members who care about your success. Pick one of these persons who will hold you accountable in addition to yourself. In the meantime, remind yourself regularly of the goals you have set for yourself.

You can write your goals in your calendar, on a mirror, or a desk-wherever you will see them often. Check your progress regularly.

Ask your friend or family member to check on your progress. They might even offer you some additional incentive for accomplishing your goal!

Why Goals FailThe goal was not written down.Rewards for achieving the goals were

not given. The goal was unrealistic or not specific

enough.The goal is not really believable or little

commitment exists.Keep changing or switching goals with

the weather The person who set the goal has not

told anyone else for added accountability, help and support.

The goal was not incorporated into a realistic plan that includes measurements, timelines and resources.
