Finally, Achieve The Goals You Set!
Sometimes, we just don’t know enough about what we are trying to achieve. Stuart Wilde
If I had a penny for each time clients ask the question….
How can I be sure that, this time, I achieve the goals that I set?
If you had to guess, what would you say that the answer is? If you guessed that you have to determine what you want, you are right. The funny thing is most people fail to
to do this step right and so they don’t focus on what they truly desire to achieve.
So, how do you determine if you are clear about what you want?
Start by asking yourself a few simple questions.
Can you succinctly state what it is that you want? Can you explain why you want this?
How will you feel when you’ve achieved your goal?
The all time favorite goal that a lot of people have is to be rich. Excellent. What is rich to you? Is it having $10,000, $1,000,000 or $100,000,000? Or maybe it is being able to take 3 holidays a year in 5 star hotels. Or traveling the world.
Great, now that you know what you want, answer why you want it? If you do want a particular sum of money ask yourself what the money’s exchange power means to you. What will you do with your new found fortunes? Will you attend more family gatherings, go to more plays, spend more time with your loved ones?
What’s next… now that you know What you want and Why?
which is getting to the essence of why you want what you want. Understanding how accomplishing this goal makes you feel. Picture it, think of it, or simply feel it. Whatever comes natural to you, but get to the essence of why you want to achieve this goal.
What is Essence?
Let me first say that this step is as critical as the ones before, because, you see, the essence is the crucial, and often unchanging, element of what you want to achieve. You must take the time to really feel the essence of what the goal achieved represents for you.
Don’t risk getting more of what you have…
Skimp on getting clear and get more of what you have…Unrealized Goals. We both know you don’t want that! So, go ahead ask yourself 3 simple questions:
1) What is your goal? Be specific!
2) Why do you want to achieve this goal?
3) How will your life be different when you achieve it?
You are reading this article, so I don’t need to convince you that you are ready to have a different outcome.
To Your Continued Success and Passion!
