The Supreme Power of Goal Setting

white book with text
You must always commit your goals in writing. By putting your goals in writing, you will have already accomplished more than 95% of everyone else. Your subconscious will guide you in achieving your goals. As long as you make a daily effort to achieve your individual goals, you will reach them eventually.
Meditating on goals is one thing, but you still have to take massive inspired action for them to come to fruition.
In writing your goals, be realistic. If your goal next year is to earn $50,000, chances are that you won't be able to buy the Rolls Royce that you wanted (you may have to wait a little while for that one). If you have ambitious goals and desires, you just need to be more aggressive in your approach. Remember, you can get whatever you want out of life. It's all up to you.
Like many of you, I've heard for years that written goals help you succeed. Unfortunately, it has only been in the past few years that I actually established a written set of goals. My business and personal life then started to take off. I'm kicking myself now because if I had written my goals years ago when I first heard of this technique, I would have achieved my successes a lot earlier in life. Don't think that you are "too good or too smart" to write down your goals. Just do it now.
What Do You Really Want? Nowhere is fuzzy thinking more damaging than in building wealth. More than half the people I work with are afraid of investing. Why are they afraid? "The risk." "I don't have enough money to pay my bills, let alone invest!" "It's too much work." "I can't understand this stuff." And so on.
It's time to now fumigate your brain one more time of all the "stinkin' thinkin'" that might pollute your prosperity.
You can't get what you want if you don't know what you want.
Sounds obvious? Ask yourself - why am I reading this article anyway? Because you want to become wealthy.
There's more to wealth than just money. You need to figure out what you want out of life in general. You must be specific on what you want in every area of your life - financially, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
You've got to have something strong, solid, and concrete, with specific dimensions. You can't build a 5,000 square-foot home on a lot for a 1,200 square-foot bungalow. Dreaming, desiring, and even being willing to work hard are all fine activities. But now you are going to add specificity to them - and specificity is what makes or breaks an investment strategy.
As the saying goes, "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time."
It's easy to get overwhelmed when you begin to plan out aggressive long-term goals.
To be able to achieve your long-term goals, you will need to first hit smaller easily achievable short term goals along the way. As you hit every small short-term goal along the way, you will have a sense of achievement and your confidence will begin to grow. As your confidence grows and you see progress, you will begin to try even harder to reach your goals.
By following the strategy outlined here, you will achieve even your most aggressive goals at lightning speed.

The Power of Positive Desires

May 08, 2020 Posted by Success Routines , , , ,
be positive scrabble piecesAll of us have desires either positive desires or negative desires. Often it seems that we tend to yield to the negative desires rather than positive desires. Every desire has a bearing on our corresponding actions. In the mid-eighties, while pursuing my MBA program, I had this burning desire to being self-employed in spite of my MBA studies. I was getting tired of doing odd jobs through college and now an MBA program without corresponding equitable pay while being tossed around by inconsiderate bosses. The desire was so strong in me that I finally quit my last job and never looked back. When we pour our energy into positive desires, we are laying a solid foundation for getting ahead. The way forward wasn't easy but achievable. This long and craving for the possibility of getting ahead drove me to take action within the available means and resources. If I had stopped over to consider my limitations, which of course were many, I could never have gotten ahead.
Your desire must be such that you could clearly say, this is it for me.
The driving force behind positive desires depends on which group you fall into. Weigh yourself with understated groupings.
Group A- Those who have not yet begun.
1. They have no dream and don't seem to bother with accruing one
2. They have a weak dream that is not strong enough to prompt action.
Group B- Those who had begun but ran into roadblocks
1. They lose their fire
2. They run out of ways around the obstacles
3. They run into financial constraints and limited customers
Group C- Those who are making progress but have not yet achieved their goal.
1. Capitalize upon what is working
2. They enlist the help of professionals
3. Identify problem areas for retweaking
Group D- Those who are successful and have achieved their initial goal.
1. Work to sustain the momentum
2. Leverage the success
• You must believe in your goal
• You must believe in yourself if you doubt your self-worth, your confidence is broken.
The Tale
When I started out my business years ago, I had many people around me who scorned my efforts and wondered what I was really doing. With a Bachelor of Science in Management plus a minor in accounting, not only that, this time I was doing my MBA at Campbell University. They felt I was wasting my academic achievement. Within me was the urge to excel in the niche that I had chosen. I discovered four powerful was of bringing this desire int fruition. Many of my clients benefited from these principles as they applied to their goals.
Four ways of Developing Positive Desires
1) Classify your desires
a. How does your desire line up with your getting ahead?
b. Is it flimsy or solid enough to make a difference?
Once you classify your desires, they gained momentum in order of value. Many times each of us has desires that are mere fantasies and have nothing to do with moving us ahead in any positive direction. This is what I call flimsy desires, that are more distractive than productive. Classifying, therefore, helps eliminate wasteful energy, time, and resources.
2) Frame your desires into goals
a. This gives you clear mental pictures and allows you to develop a concrete plan of action.
b. Framing your desires also gives life and essence to each of your desires.
c. It serves to identify them and make them unique in the progress of getting ahead.
Over the years, I have noticed that, once you're able to frame your desires into goals, they gather latent power towards execution. Any desires that have not been framed into goals remain abstract. Sometimes the bulk of these are negative desires that appeal to our emotions. So developing positive desires necessitates concrete goals.
3) Weigh your desires- now formulated goals to prioritize them
a. This allows for the best fit to be acted upon the first
b. It guides the sequence of steps and activities necessary to make progress
The value of each goal will enable the placement in the best to do or act upon the list. It is this that allows you to choose the rightful progress steps. Never act upon your goals without prioritizing them, because one success step begets another.
4) Act upon them in order of importance.
a. The actions help evaluate each step towards your goal. This is the bridge-building process that produces powerful results
b. This is the morale-boosting process as you witness your purposeful actions yield great returns
Failure dwarfs in the face of persistence goal-oriented actions. These dedicated action steps are great yardsticks to you're getting ahead.
The things you've not started today can never get ahead.
Only those things that you've started can have the possibility of being improved upon. So get started with your desires. Move them from desires to actions.
