Three Steps to Effective Goal Setting

As a Careersport Coach, I am excited to see you achieve your goals. Goals keep you on track because they give you feedback. This is something I learned from a former CFL professional football star, friend and great motivation speaker Bruce Smith. Goals help stear us down the right path toward an outcome. Goals keep us on track. We can easilly do all kinds of activities that waste time. This article will help you achieve your goals.

Here are some steps to take for your goals.

1. Define your goals clearly

2. State how your goals will benefit others and yourself.

3. Picture your goals being achieved and write a plan for achieving them.

Here is a very simple method to use this strategy.

1. Determining your goals: Take a few days to decide what you want to do in your life to make a difference for others.

Write your goals (two or three major goals only. If you can focus on one goal at a time it is better) on a paper and read this paper often. As soon as you write your goals you enter the top 5% section of the people. 95% people don’t know what their aims are so your success chances for a better life immediately increase.

2. Purpose: Determine how your goals will benefit others.

The more your goals are about benefiting others, the more motivated you will be to achieve them. Also, daily affirmations help keep keeps your mind positive and hopeful. You become focused and attract the same in your life. To become successful in life repeat this affirmation ten times in the morning and ten times before going to bed: ‘God has sent me in this world to become successful. I am achieving my goal’.

It is important that your goals are designed around you helping others as we are here to serve others. We are far more motivated when our goals lead to helping others.

3. Picture your goals being achieved:

Set your goals and write them out with a plan to achieve them by a certain date. If you are willing to set your life toward achieving goals that benefit others and yourself, you deserve to achieve them. Put a plan on paper. Consider drawing or cutting out pictures of yourself having achieved the goals. We tend to think in images.
