⏺Are you setting your goals correctly?steemCreated with Sketch.

In this article I'm going to tell you how I set my goals, and the reasons why I do it the way I do.

Now, the first question is, are you even setting goals to begin with? In my opinion, if you don't have a goal that you are currently working towards, you are simply static. You aren't going anywhere. What gets you moving, is setting targets for yourself to hit.

You need to hold yourself accountable for things, otherwise it will always be alright to underachieve.

Let's start with something simple.. Write them down! As simple as this sounds, most people don't do it. If you think that having it in your head is good enough, then you don't understand the power of writing it down.

Just doing this step alone will do 40% of the end task!

What I like to do is both primary and secondary goals.

The primary goal is the long-term, most impacting goal. It's also the one you need to focus on the most. It can generally be interlinked with the other goals.

The secondary goals are all the other goals you would like to achieve on your way to the primary goal.

For my primary goals, I write them on a small colorful card. One card for each primary goal. Depending on how serious you are about achieving it, you need to treat it with respect (As funny as it sounds :P).

All your secondary goals you can write in a list in a journal.

Here is an example of one of my long-term primary goals.

This is just an example to show you one of MY primary goals. Yours does not have to be so monetary, however there is also nothing wrong with wanting to be rich! If it's something that drives you into action, then that's all that matters!

As you can see, you need to be specific. I added at the back "Ask and you shall receive" because that's exactly how this works. If you ask for money, life gives you a dollar, and many people then complain.. You need to be specific in what you ask for. Usually I would put a date to when I want to achieve my goal. In this example, it's slightly more difficult to estimate a date, but just by reminding yourself everyday, things will start to manifest.

I'll be honest, when I wrote that goal down 6 months ago, I had complete disbelief. I had 99% discouragement that I would ever be a billionaire.. But now I am completely confident. I imagine it with ease, and I am no longer intimidated. That's the true example of what setting goals does for you. It sets your mind in the correct direction. It's not about the end goal, but in-fact the journey that's most valuable!

It's the small things that build your foundation to success like writing your goals down. It might seem insignificant but it is actually powerful. Appreciate this post!!!

Glad you enjoyed it! :) You got it nailed there. Talk again soon.

Yeah go for the gold. I need to be more clear with mine

Go for it brother! You have nothing to lose, and everything to gain!

Setting goals is important, but you also need to setup a way to get there. You need to plan the steps it takes. Sometimes it is easier to setup simpler goals first. Like: making 10% interest on your savings per year. That is realistic still. Then if you reach that goal, you up the ante. But setting goals like: to save $10 won't do you any good. But if you struggle, setting a goal to save $1000 just might.

Good point. The next step after deciding on what it is you want would be to get your action plan. 100% :)

Thanks for your comment.
