For those who dream up more goals than they accomplish! Here are some
helpful tips certain to deliver more success when it comes to accomplishing
your goals.
|
| |
Take Time
|
|
'what' you want and 'why' you
want! The more time you invest in this simple task the greater your return
of success! These are your goals. |
| |
Make Your Goals Smart
|
Make sure your goals are Specific, Measurable, Achieveable, Realistic
& Time-based. SMART goals are milestones to the stars in your life. |
| |
Tell Someone You Trust
|
Tell someone who cares about your success and will support you. If this
person doesn't exist in your life...get a mentor. This person is your
cheerleader with a ringside seat! |
| |
Mark your Deadline
|
A firm deadline is a smart deadline. It heightens your focus, motivation,
and commitment to getting the work done now (as versus never). So make
sure to record the deadline in your PDA. |
| |
Review It
|
Make this deal with yourself: If you don't accomplish the goal by your
stated deadline...review the goal. Break your goal into a 'two stage'
goal. You can focus your energy better and achieve two successes! |
| |
|
|
Affirm
it!
|
Affirmations work! They shift your perspective and expand your 'possibility
thinking.' Create one that feels absolutely incredible to say out loud
as often as you need to. |
| |
Track It
|
Daily or weekly, track every action you've taken towards your goal.
This is a no-fail approach to knowing what's working, what isn't and
what's left to do. It ensures you remain on course. |
| |
Take One-A-Day
|
Take an action (however big or small) every single day that supports
your goal -- until you reach it! Never give up! |
| |
Try, Try, Try...
|
Try every idea, hunch and 'what if.' You'll always get something for
something.....but rarely something from nothing. |
| |
Reward
|
Each time you achieve a goal, reward yourself - no matter how small.
Even a candy bar counts as a reward! It is symbolic gesture of satisfaction
with your achievement. It will motivate you to your next star. |
| |
Give Yourself Permission
|
There is power in permission! Give yourself permission to take a break,
to over-succeed, or whatever else you want. Permission liberates, energises,
inspires and empowers. You can give yourself permission to reach for
the stars! |
