Motivation and Goals

It seems to me that when you are in business, your goal setting strategies become very important to your motivation and goals. I think this is because these two things will make a difference in whether you become accomplished in your niche or are just mediocre. Developing goal setting strategies , in which you will be able to set and accomplish goals, is really your blueprint for success.


Now, I know that this subject has been talked and written about for the last two hundred years at least. But you have to agree that it is important. You may ask, just how do you go about setting and accomplishing goals? Can you give me a formula or strategy that will increase my chances of success?


The answer to this question is a resounding yes. Here is the start of your own personal blueprint for success.


To begin with, it helps to develop a desire to achieve a goal. An intense desire is better. You can develop an intense desire by sitting down and writing out all the pros and cons of achieving your goal. When your list is up to over 90 items, you will find that the goal is closer to fruition.


Print out your goal. When it is in writing, it becomes more real to you and will cause you to start working on it subconsciously . There is a direct connection between your brain and your hand. Use it.


There will be obstacles in your way and you will need to overcome them. This means you will need to identify them and how to find the help you will need to acquire in order to overcome them. Write all of this out in a list format and analyze them.


Determine where you are in the now in relation to your goal so that you can reasonable calculate how long it will take you to get there. At this time you can set a date if you like.


Now take your list and prioritize it. Formulate a plan and rewrite the list , perfect it and optimize it. Start thinking about putting it into action by developing a mental picture of yourself being successful at your chosen activity. Think as if it's already accomplished. Make sure that it is burned into your psyche and play it over and over in your minds eye.


Remember to be persistent. Don't give up even when you hit resistance and setbacks. By following these ideas religiously , you will become more successful at goal setting and that is where it starts.


Of course , you need to start this now. Don't procrastinate. Notice the title of this article. Remember that a blueprint can refer to architectural plans, maps or mechanical drawings. Then again, it can also refer to a detailed plan or program of action.


You might even condense this article down to an index card size or maybe a small notebook for daily references. Remember your ABC's. Always be checking your blueprint so you can measure your progress and keep yourself on track.


This is the only way that this blueprint will make a difference to your business goals. Ask yourself daily, what is today's goal? Then do it.
