Major Keys to Powerful Goals
-----
Are you ready to sit down and start designing the kind of life you want? Before
we get started, there are three major keys that every one of your goals must
have.
They must be:
1) Be Specific & Measurable
The more specific you are, the more focused your mind and efforts will be.
Specific and measurable outcomes will lead to effective strategies and actions.
If you want your health to improve, you must set specific and measurable targets
such as 'how much weight do I want to lose?'
'What pulse rate do I want to achieve' 'what is my targeted body-fat ratio?'
'How many hours must I spend in the gym each week?' 'How many calories will I allow
myself to take in a day?' 'How many miles should I run or how many laps must I
swim at each session and how many times a week?
Under personal development goals, you may want to set goals such as 'What new
languages do I want to learn? And to what standard?' 'How many books do I want
to read each month, and in what areas?' You must also be specific about the time
frame you are giving to each goal and list a specific date of accomplishment.
2) Passionate and Exciting
Have you ever been so passionate and excited about doing or achieving something
that it kept you awake all night? You kept thinking about it every waking moment?
Maybe it was your first trip to an exciting new destination. It could also be
participating in an important tournament, meeting that special person or
planning your 21st, 30th, 40th birthday celebration.
When we are passionate about achieving something vitally important to us, it
gives us a level of energy and focus that cannot be matched. It is this level
of passion and excitement that we must have for our goal(s), if we ever want to
achieve it!
When people ask me, 'Where do you get the energy and discipline to keep writing
books, developing seminars and starting new companies?', I reply by saying that
I get so passionate and excited about my goals, to the extent that they charge
me up continuously.
I sleep, breathe and dream my goals every single day until they are achieved!
Then I set a new one, at a higher level!
When people seem to lack discipline or will power, it is not that they are
lazy, it is simply because their goals are not exciting enough for them. They
are not passionate about what they want to achieve!
Tiger Woods loves to play golf. Donald Trump loves the art of the deal, Steven
Spielberg loves to make larger-than-life movies and Bill Gates loves technology
and the idea of shaping the world. Even if they had all the money in the world
(which they do), they would still be as obsessed with their goals.
So, you must set goals that you are passionate about. How? Simply ask yourself
this question, 'Even if I had $10 billion, what would I still want to do and
accomplish? What would I be willing to do for free if I had all the money in
the world?'
Write down what you are truly passionate about and what comes from your heart
rather than just from your mind.
3) Stretch Goals for Quantum Results
Most people I know tend to subscribe to setting for themselves merely
incremental goals. Incremental goals are goals that are slightly higher than
what you are currently achieving. For example, if you were making $2000 a month
in income, an incremental goal would be $2500.
A stretch goal, on the other hand, is when you set for yourself an outcome that
is way beyond your current level of ability and skill. If you were making $2000
a month, an example of a stretch goal would be one aiming for $10,000 a month.
I believe that the most powerful goals you can set are stretch goals. This was
a key ingredient that allowed me to achieve so much within such a short period
of time.
Use these 3 keys and your goals will propel you towards the success you deserve
in life!
