Recap of four part series on successful goal setting.

I was looking for an online home based business and I used goal setting successfully and found exactly what I was looking for. You may have a burning desire for something but not know how to go about getting it. Why not try goal setting as a starting point. I have given you my blue print that has worked successfully for me many times in the past. These are some tips I have covered in the series that will keep you on target: Be specific and know what you want. Don’t be vague and unsure. If you don’t know what you want how can you get it? Do have a time line. If you want to go to college give yourself (4) years. Not having a definite time to graduate means you could get your degree in (10) years or never. Brainstorm at the beginning of your goal setting process any obstacles or challenges that could emerge and sabotage your great plans. If your goals are long term do this frequently. Goals must be written down to embed them into your subconscious. When a goal is not written down on paper it is a dream and you know what happen to dreams. You forget about them. Have a plan of action. This is what, when and how in the accomplishment of your goal. The more detail the plan the better your chances are for success. You absolutely must have a passion or compelling and burning desire to go after what you want. There will be obstacles that come up and your passion for your goal will keep you on target. Giving up will not be an option. State your outcome in positive ways. Engage your feelings. Become emotionally attached to your goal. Read and state your goal daily. The best time is first time in the morning and the last thing before going to bed. If I have a challenge I will ask my subconscious how to solve it just before going to sleep but before I affirm a good night sleep and I get an answer that I act on immediately. This is why people use the phrase "let me sleep on it." Focus. What you focus on expands and become part of your reality. Step into your goal. Visualize and become a part of it in the present as if it is already here. How does it feel to have what you want? How will you look, how will you dress, how will you act, where will you live, what will you drive? Who are your friends, how will your family react to the accomplishment of this goal? This is fun. Enjoy. Make sure you control the outcome of your goal and not need any one else to change for you to achieve what you want. Be the one in control. Start a success binder. Begin to chart your successes. Go back into your past and start. Going forward take pictures with you in them with your symbol of success if possible. When you are feeling discouraged and disheartened flip through the pages of your success binder and you will feel uplifted. Treat yourself to a special gift when you reach your goal. Don't cheat yourself. Celebrate your successes. When I quit smoking for (3) months I purchased an emerald and diamond tennis bracelet to celebrate. That was 18 years ago. I love that bracelet, I feel good when I wear it. It reminds me that I am successful. We gave the definition of a goal as the end in which effort is directed. Know that your goal will require effort and work. There is always a price to pay. After all this is done the fun begins. After you attain your goal you feel powerful, in control of your life and your self-esteem will jump 200%. In pursuit of your goal who have you become? It is my sincere hope that you received something from this series that can speed up your learning curve on goal setting and make your life what you want. Keep it simple and go easy on yourself. This 4 part series on goal setting is a reality. Goals were made to see this project as a certainty. I wrote (4) articles, (4) press releases and (4) videos. It is done. Now I celebrate this success. Honor yourself. Until next time.

Re: I failed woefully in 2011 - Yinka, My favorite advice for taking action comes from Tony Robbins: “A real decision is measured by the fact that you’ve taken a new action. If there’s no action, you haven’t truly decided… The most important thing you can do to achieve your goals is to make sure that as soon as you set them, you immediately begin to create momentum. The most important rules that I ever adopted to help me in achieving my goals were those I learned from a very successful man who taught me to first write down the goal, and then to never leave the site of setting a goal without first taking some form of positive action toward its attainment.” If you've truly decided to make 2012 a successful year for you, don't wait until Sunday. Start today, even if it's a small step. Good luck!
Re: Moderator Update, April 2011 - The email about the forums is now officially part of my follow-up series to all subscribers.
Focus - For me its about where the focus of who you are is. If you enjoy the creation of a business and are very attached to that result, hang in there. If you enjoy the creation part only and someone comes along with enough money to release you to do it again, then that's right too. The key here is to ensure that you know which part of it you love the most, stick with that part and you will be successful. If you try to fit your square peg into a round hole and hate it, then the warning signs are there to be noticed.
