Goal Setting

OK...this is perhaps THE most important habit you can
have if you want to succeed in EVERY area of your life.

Goal Setting

It is almost impossible to overestimate the value of
goal-setting as a positive habit. It can truly be life
changing!

Research studies have shown that people who regularly
set goals are far more likely to be successful then
people who do not. Napoleon Hill, author of the
best-seller, Think and Grow Rich, once said,
"Definiteness of purpose is the starting point of all
achievement, and its lack is the stumbling block for
ninety eight out of every one hundred people because
they never really define their goals and start toward
them."

A study was done to determine the importance of goal
setting.
College students who had gone on to achieve great
success in business were asked to list their habits.
The students who had made a habit of setting goals were
in the top 3% of earnings in the population!

Goal setting is simple, yet 97% of the population never
do it. By making goal setting a habit, you can start
placing yourself in the top 3% of the population of
successful people. Your goal-setting habit can help you
reach any of your goals, regardless of whether they are
for business, personal, relationships, and so on.

Here are some simple steps to help you start your goal-setting
habit:

Step 1 Define your destinations, write them down, and
be very specific; capture your goals on paper.

Step 2 Determine what the time line is for reaching your
goals; set specific deadlines for each goal.

Step 3 Identify any obstacles that may stand in your way,
list them, and state how you plan to overcome them.

Step 4 Make a list of the people and/or organizations
who will help you reach your goals.

Remember....invest in yourself and you will go places FAST!
