1.
List your values
What’s really important to you?
Your religion? Your
leisure time? Your hobbies?
Decide what your most important values in life are and then make sure
that the goals you set are designed to include and enhance them.
2.
Begin with the end in mind
Tom Watson, the founder of IBM was once asked what he attributed the
phenomenal success of IBM to and he said it was three things.
The first thing was that he created a very clear image in his mind of
what he wanted his company to look like when it was done.
He then asked himself how would a company like that have to act on a
day to day basis. And then in the
very beginning of building his company, he began to act that way.
3.
Project yourself into the future
The late great Earl Nightingale created a whole new industry
(self improvement) after a twenty year study on what made people
successful. The bottom-line
result of his research was simply, “We Become What We Think About.”
Whatever thoughts dominate our minds most of the time are what we
become. That’s why goal setting
is so critical in achieving success because it keeps us focused on what’s
really important to us. He then
said that the easiest way to reach our goals is to pretend that we had ALREADY
achieved them. That is, begin to
walk, talk and act as though we are already experiencing the success we seek.
Then, those things will come to us naturally through the power of our
subconscious mind.
4.
List ten things you want this year
When you make a list of the things that are important to you, you begin
to create images in your mind. It’s
been said that your mind will actually create chaos if necessary to make
images become a reality. Because
of this, the list of ten things will probably result in you achieving at least
eight of them within the year.
5.
Create a story board
Attach a piece of poster board to a wall in your office or home where
you will see it often. Page
through magazines, brochures, etc. cut out pictures of things you want and
paste them to your story board. In
other words, make a collage of the goals and things that excite you…knowing
full well that as you look at them everyday, they will soon be yours.
6.
Three most important things
Decide on three things that you want to achieve before you die.
Then work backwards to listing three things you want in the next 20
years, 10 years, 5 years, this year, this month, this week, and finally the
three most important things you want to accomplish today.
7.
Ask yourself questions
When thinking about your goals, instead of wishing for them to come
true, ask yourself HOW and WHAT CAN YOU DO to make them come true.
The subconscious mind will respond to the questions you ask
far greater than if you just make statements or make wishes.
8.
Focus on one project at a time
Trying to work on too many things at one time is the greatest mistake
people make in setting goals. There
is tremendous power in giving focused attention to just one idea, one project
or one objective at a time.
9.
Write a Scenario
Project yourself into the future.
Pretend that you are being interviewed by a reporter because you have
just received an excellent achievement award for outstanding success in your
business. When asked what you
attribute your success to, what are the things you will point out as reasons
why you succeeded. Describe the
activities of your daily routine now that you are successful.
10.
Pray and Meditate
Before you drop off to sleep each night, think about your goals.
Get a clear colorful image in your mind of seeing yourself doing the
things you’ll be doing
after
you’ve reached your major goal. Remember
to include your values. Then
begin to ask and demand for these things through meditation and prayer.
