Do You Truly Want to Achieve Your Goals Badly Enough?

What's the difference between someone who achieves their goals and someone who just dreams about them? The starting point is always their level of desire, and how bad they want it. Achieving your goals doesn't have anything to do with where you've been; you can always get to where you want to be - if you want it bad enough.

Most people stay in their current reality because they don't want to deal with the sacrifice and frustration of change. For them is seems it's just not worth it. I don't see it that way. Choosing to live your dream life comes down to a single choice; sacrifice and frustration don't even enter the picture. From the moment you decide you want your dream life more than you want your current reality, it merely becomes a choice. Plain and simple.

In order to get from where you are to where you want to be, it takes a comprehensive evaluation to find out what you have been doing that has gotten you to your current reality. And if you are not where you want to be, then you haven't always made the right choices or taken the right actions. Most of us don't know how to make the right choices to support our goals, because we never learned how. Was "Effective Goal Setting" offered at your school? Probably not. Traditional educational systems don't usually offer life-success oriented curriculum. Few parents are successful goal achievers themselves, so it's no wonder most of aren't taught how to be successful goal achievers.

If you're ready to choose to your goals and dreams, and tap your true potential - let's get to work! Below are some easy steps to get you started.

1. Write your goals on a piece of paper and hang several copies around your home and office. Read them when you wake up in the morning, and before going to sleep. This is a very important part of effective goal setting.

2. Make a choice. Do you want to achieve your dream life, or continue living your current reality? Remember, it is merely the choice that separates you from your goals.

3. Choose habits and actions that support your goals, whatever it is you want.

4. Involve your family, friends and coworkers. Let them know your goals and ask them to support you.

5. If you are ready to change your current reality, go to my website and take the Am I Coachable? Assessment.

6. Hire a life coach. Life coaching is so invaluable; it's hard to put into words. Many clients experience less frustration and faster results through life coaching. Achieving your dreams becomes so much easier when you have a mentor and teacher guiding you along the path to success.

So there is only one question to ask - How badly do you want to achieve your goals and dreams?

The only thing that separates you from your future and your current reality is choice. Do you choose the life you currently have, or do you choose the life you want to have? The choice is yours. Your dreams are real and your goals are possible. Commit to them and they will become a reality.

Re: Drop out Billionaire - I reveived Bill Bartmann's DVD "9 Steps To Achieve Any Goal" as part of my monthly pack from Success University a few months back. It is a great presentation. I've watched it several times but not for a while so I'll view it again in the coming week. He is one of the greats. Like the best success mentors, he speaks with authority because he has come through much tribulation. His program sounds like a great bargain at $100 a year.

Re: Quote of the Day - Ted Turner - Hi Evan, I mentioned on another thread that I'm reading Saint Joan of Arc by Vita Sackville West. I think Joan of Arc set some pretty high goals, for an unknown peasant girl from an unimportant village in the middle of nowhere much... Goals: 1. Go and see the Dauphin! 2. Help him relieve the siege of Orleans!! 3. To lead the Dauphin to his coronation at Rheims!!! The first time she tried to put this plan into action, by seeking permission from her local feudal lord to travel, he told her minder to "reduceret eam ad domum sui patris et daret ei alapas" which is to say, "take her home to her father and give her a smacking". The rest is history!
