Goal Clarity

Creating a goal is simply a way to define whatever it is that you are looking to accomplish. You know where you are today and you know the location you want to go. The Goal is what allows you to get to the destination. It is simply a map. When life gets confusing, your goals will keep you steady.

  1. Define your goal-It MUST be precise.
  2. Give yourself a DEFINITIVE timeline for achievement. This is a hard date that your goal WILL be achieved. No waffling or moving the date is allowed.
  3. Break your goal down into tangible / workable phases.
  • If you want to lose 30 pounds in 4 months. Break this number down into monthly and weekly goals. That is 7.5 pounds per month or 1.875 pounds per week. What is more real, 30 pounds or 1.875?

Small rapid successes are absolutely necessary to keep you focused on your end goal.

POST your goal everywhere. It must be visible to be real. Write it down and place it where you will see it. Bathroom mirror, dashboard of car, computer at work. If you cannot see it, you cannot achieve it. Share your goal with others. This makes it real. It gives your goal credibility. Sharing your goal helps to make you feel accountable.

Faith and Opportunity

Faith is a word that is extremely powerful. True faith only occurs when you believe with 100% of your heart and mind that your belief system is correct. Faith is when you make a decision that is not based on scientific evidence. Faith is most closely used when talking about religion, but it is also a large ingredient in allowing yourself to be successful.

When you have faith in yourself to achieve something, opportunity is not far behind. As you change your mind set to believe that you are destined for success, the world will start to reveal new opportunities all around you. Have faith in yourself and others will too.
