Power of goal setting-

Setting your goals is the most important aspect of becoming wealthy or anything else you want to do. It is the key to all fulfillment and achievement. It will give you confidence and determination. Start with writing down in detail what you want to attain. Do not write that you want to be rich but that you want to have one million dollars in the bank by your 50th birthday. Start with a picture in your mind and set the desired outcome.  

Did you know that 75% of success comes from goal setting?

 

In many business classes they teach you this. Some people go their whole lives missing out because they never learn it. 

Goal setting, the key to achievement, it is the most important aspect of attaining your goals. It will give you the confidence and determination which is vital to fulfulling your dreams. 

 

You need a clearly defined goal; a target toward which you move.  Plan a deadline for your attainment. This will help give you the burning desire and intense self-confidence and firm determination to follow through.

 An undefined goal would be "I want to be a millionaire someday."  A clearly defined goal with a deadline is "I will have one million dollars in the bank by my 50th birthday". The power of goal setting starts with a picture in your mind. 

Once you set a defined goal money ideas will start coming to you. People who can teach you something, no matter how little, will appear. You will see little ways to save money; ways to make money that you never thought of before.

 

John Goddard, at age 15, sat down and wrote out 150 goals for his life. Included were things things he wanted to do  and places to visit. He has now done 107 of them.

 

You won't want to wake up some day at age 40, in debt, toiling away at some job you hate with your life in the toilet when you  can develop a plan now. (It is like starting on a long trip to an area where you have never been and not using a map..... You will probably take lots of turns and will wear down before eventually giving up.

 

Write down your goals using your wildest imagination on things you truly would like to do. Don't be silly putting things you don't really want or ever expect to do (Marry a princess and never have to work again.) 

A goal will keep you from procrastinating. Put your dream down with a deadline. your plan on how to get there with. If one of your goals is something you want to do in 5 years then plan how you will do it. And working toward that 5 year goal what will you need to have done at the end of each year? what does that mean you will have to do each month? And each week what will be required to be done to reach your goal at the end of the month?  Next break it down to what you must do everyday to meet the weekly goal. Inch by inch its a cinch. 

 

 Major companies expect their employees to set goals.
