If you are not setting and writing your goals than you don't have any. If you wanted a small business loan, you'd have to present a business plan.
No one would consider lending a business money that did not have a written business plan. Consider your written goals as your life's business plan.
You're presenting your plan to the Universal power. You're asking the universe to give you certain things. You give your goals credence by putting them in writing.
Remember any goal that isn't written; is simply a desire or a wish.
Your present position in life is a direct result of your present thinking.
The first step in creating your desired future begins with designing your life by clearly defined written goals.
Who says you need written goals?
Ask any successful person if they have written goals and you'll get a resounding, "Yes."
Ask any success guru what's the first step to success and they will tell you it is a setting and writing goals.
There is great power generated when you commit your goals to paper. You send into the Universe a thought so powerful it must manifest it your life. Once a goal is committed to paper it is no longer a vapor, it has become real.
Trust those who've succeeded. They all set and wrote goals first.
Goals must be W A M W R
Your goals must be:
W written - write a definite goal.
A attainable - do you believe you can attain it?
M measurable - is it measurable in dollars, weight, time?
W workable - do you have the skills to do it?
R rewardable - what will you give yourself when you reach the goal?
Life's eight essential goal areas
In order to reach your goals you must live in balance. You must learn to balance your career with personal, family and recreational goals.
Your life can be broken down to eight major areas. You'll need to set and write goals for each of life's areas.
The eight areas are:
1. Health and fitness
2. Recreation
3. Family
4. Spiritual
5. Educational
6. Social
7. Investment
8. Financial
Notice we placed financial last. Experts agree that if your life is out of balance, if you are obsessed with making money, then you cannot live a well-balanced life.
Evaluation and revision are not dirty words
Goals must constantly be reevaluated. At the end of each day look at what you accomplished and make a plan for tomorrow.
Remember that evaluation and revision are not dirty words. You need to constantly look at your goals and revise and rewrite them. They should never become stagnated things. Keep them alive, vital and working by constant examination and revision.
Rewards are what it's all about
Whenever you reach a goal, there must be a tangible reward. Every written goal must have a reward. Losing ten pounds might call for a fudge sundae. I'm kidding.
Rewards are a vital part of the goal setting process; however, they are often overlooked.
Include a reward for every goal you set and faithfully reward yourself when you reach a goal. Otherwise, where's the joy?
Summary
To summarize, let's think of our goals as our life business plan, a blue print for living.
Write goals that are about what you want in your life. Never write goals to please someone else.
Write goals that your mind knows you can achieve.If you reach beyond your belief, you're doomed to failure.
Write goals for each of the eight life areas.
Constantly monitor and revise your goals.
Always reward yourself when you have reached a goal.
