Goals are the KEY to success!




Goals are the KEY to success!


Goal orientation is the key element is establishing strong motivation. It not only shows you where you are going, it also shows you how to get there. To make a goal successful, there are 6 stages you must complete:


1. A goal must be well defined - I want to lose 20 lbs vs I want to lose weight.


2. A goal must be stated in writing - Write your goals down and put them in a place where they will be seen often.


3. A goal must be stated in the positive - I enjoy eating healthy foods vs. I won't eat junk food.


4. A goal must have a deadline for its completion - If there is no expected completion time, there will not be a sense of urgency and before you know it, you will be right back to where you started from.


5. A goal must have sincere emotional appeal - If not, there will be no passion. Learning to prioritize most important goals will make a wish an important objective.


6. A goal must be difficult, yet realistic - If a goal is too easy, there won't be enough attention focused on it. If it is too difficult, your confidence will be lacking.


Ok, with that said.... What are YOUR goals?
