Two
Keys To Achieving Your Goals
RSS Print

Use this goal setting technique after you've
written down your goals, gotten specific about what you want
and why you want it and developed a clear mental image of your
goal.
When those steps are completed, it's time to
take action.
There are two types of action, physical and
mental. Let's start with the physical.

Taking Action to
Move Towards your Goal
Start the first part of this goal setting
technique by thinking of all the things you can do to make your
goals a reality. Write them down and keep adding to the list.
Then start working on the list. Take the action necessary to
achieve your goals.
Put actions on your to - do list every day
pertaining to all your goals. It's important to do something
every day, even little things to create momentum. If you want
to get in good physical condition you would exercise daily, not
at random now and then. The same holds true with anything. You
make it a daily habit.
Ask yourself this question: "What can I do
today that will move me closer to achieving my goal of _____?"
Then guess what? Do it!
Don't spend too much time analyzing your
actions. If you're going to fail, then fail fast. Thomas Edison
tried thousands of theories before successfully inventing the
light bulb. However, it was the way he looked at failure that
made the difference. Edison didn't consider those thousands of
failed theories as failures. Each one showed him another way
that wouldn't work. Each failure brought his team one step
closer to success.
Notice the results you are getting from your
actions and make adjustments along the way. Keep moving
forward.
Changing Your
Beliefs
The next and most important step of this
goal setting technique is to send the right messages to your
subconscious mind. You won't achieve your goals if you don't
believe you can achieve them.
First examine your beliefs about your goals.
Do you believe you can achieve them? Do you believe it will be
difficult? What negative beliefs do you have about achieving
the goals you have set? If you have negative or limiting
beliefs about your goals then you need to change them.
You need to feed your mind the possibilities
and send the right message to your subconscious mind. What
seems difficult should be considered easy. What you think you
can't do should become something you can do. What you don't
believe is possible should become something you believe is
possible.
If you want to close more sales, however,
you don't know how, you need to change that to: I know how to
close more sales. Any negative belief or thought pattern
related to achieving your goal must be eliminated; otherwise
you don't stand a chance of achieving your goal. You can take
all the other steps required in setting goals, however, if you
have a negative belief pattern related to achieving your goals,
you will not succeed.
Taking action is an important step in
achieving the goals you have set for yourself. Many people fail
at goal setting because they never take any action. When you
take action and send the right messages to your subconscious
you'll begin to create opportunities to achieve your
goals.
