There are two types of people: those who set goals or personal goals and those who live adrift
on the tides of life and subject to the goals of others. What type are you? Taking the time to sit down at least once a year and write down your goals for the present , the near future, and the more remote future is a process that can transform your life forever. SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE SET PERSONAL GOALS AND OBJECTIVES. Study after study of the secrets of the most SUCCESSFUL women shows that one practice that differentiates them from the rest is the setting of personal goals , beyond the goals that others, whether the company or the family, impose on them. Those who are successful think about their goals and how they can achieve them. Unsuccessful people think about their problems and spend their time criticizing, procrastinating, complaining, and making excuses to justify why they can't move forward. Do you know a lot of women like that? "The main reason for setting personal goals is because they force you to convert to achieve them." Jim RohnClick. Goals make you stretch and grow. They make you change. That will always be something worth even higher than what you get. That's why targets are so powerful! Some ladies live in the past and let their life always be influenced by it. It is clear that you must remember the past and review it so as not to repeat mistakes but the key is to make sure that the greatest attraction of your life is the attraction of the future . Goals are like a magnet, they pull you. And the more exciting, concrete and authentic they are, the greater the magnetism they apply to you. THE POWER OF WRITTEN PERSONAL GOALS. The key to setting personal goals is thinking on paper . Successful females think with a pencil and paper (and then save it on their PC, of course) because when you write you force yourself to make a reflection that crystallizes your thoughts and makes them concrete from abstraction. A supposed statistic that many authors mention says that only 3% of adults put their goals in writing. I do not know if it is real although my perception is that it is an even lower%. The bottom line is that the remaining 97% (or whatever) only have wishes , hopes, or fantasies . Written objectives become tangible , subject to manipulation and action. Written goals activate your positive mindset and give you energy. They release powers within you that would have been inactive in their absence. The fact of writing them exponentially increases the probability that you will achieve your goals! Although it is not enough by far ... 'Goals are dreams with a deadline' Tony robbins HOW TO SET PERSONAL GOALS. It is constantly said that the objectives must be SMART - Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and with a defined Time (of achievement). Everybody knows it, right? To sum it up for you in an even easier and different way, the really powerful goals you can set for yourself should have 3 components: They must be inspiring They must be credible They must be something you can act on. When your goals inspire you, when you believe and act on them, you achieve them. Definitely! REFLECT AND DREAM BEFORE SETTING YOUR PERSONAL GOALS. Setting goals unleashes an inherently human capacity that consists of imagining the future and allowing yourself to dream . As Napoleon Hill , the author of a mythical personal development book, the incredible " Think and Grow Rich, " says, all things created or achieved by man began with an idea or thought in someone's head. Taking time to be quiet is something we don't do enough in this hectic world. We rush, we run, and we are constantly hearing noise around us, right? Sitting down and thinking is a sadly disused habit. Stopping to reflect on what it is that one really wants at least once a year (if not two or more) is one of the most liberating acts that a human being can perform. Energizes , motivates and focuses the mind. And also, it's free. Many ladies set goals that they never reach. You know why? A common reason is that your goals are not inspiring enough. You are much more likely to spend time and energy on something that excites you, don't you think? TYPES OF PERSONAL GOALS AND OBJECTIVES. According to Tim Ferriss, author of one of the most important personal development books of the 21st century you should read, The 4-Hour Workweek, many people don't know what they want, so the answer to the question “ what are they your goals? ”Lends itself to some confusion or doubt. For many it will be easier to set their goals by answering 3 simple questions about what you want to be, do and have. - What do you want to be ? They are the most transformative goals. They answer the question, what do I want to become? E.g: team leader, mother, entrepreneur, good conversationalist in English, 10 kg thinner, etc. - What you dream Do? We talk about living experiences but also about things we should do to become what we want to be. Ex: go around the world, run a Marathon, study / work abroad, etc. - What would you like to have? Material possessions do not bring happiness, but we all have the right to afford them. Eg: an apartment with a terrace, a clothing X, a house with a garden, a new car, a brand Y watch, etc. PERSONAL GOALS IN ALL AREAS OF YOUR LIFE. For the more advanced, the system proposed by Tony Robbins is very interesting to make sure that all your goals do not always go in the same direction (business, money, etc.) and cover all the important areas of your life. The idea is to establish your objectives (between 5 and 10 in total) distributed in the following 4 categories: PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT GOALS. These types of objectives are closely related to those of Being, according to the previous classification. Write everything that you would like to improve in your life related to your own personal growth. What are some skills you want to master? What character traits would you like to develop? What do you want to be? What could you do for your physical well-being? Would you like to overcome your fear of public speaking? Be a better partner? Speak English? Play the sax? PROFESSIONAL / FINANCIAL GOALS. They are related to the categories Having and being. Everything you want for your career, business or financial life. Would you like to be a better leader and better manage your teams? What levels of financial abundance do you want to achieve? What position do you want to achieve in your company? How much do you want to earn? Would you like to become the best salesperson in your company? If you are an entrepreneur or manager, what goals do you have for your organization? How far would you like to take it? ADVENTURE OBJECTIVES / OBJECTS They are related to what you want to Have and Do on a playful level. If the genie in the lamp were in front of you and any wish you made was immediately fulfilled, what would you most wish for in the world? A house in the beach? A high heel shoe? A nice gown? Traveling to Australia? Stroll through New York? Go to a cinema? CONTRIBUTION OBJECTIVES. These can be the most challenging and inspiring goals of all, because it is your chance to make your mark on the world and " other people's lives." It could be something as simple as helping an NGO, creating a foundation to provide opportunities for underprivileged people, volunteering at a soup kitchen, helping clean nature of trash, etc. PERSONAL GOALS AND OBJECTIVES. How to achieve objectives? Setting goals is relatively straightforward and a skill that can be learned through practice. To close the loop you need a plan to get them. A simple 7-step formula for setting and achieving your goals that you can use for the rest of your life: 1. Make a detailed list of the goals you want to ACHIEVE. Remember to set goals for each area of your life. Most people never do or define them very vaguely and inaccurately. Clarity is essential. You have to be clear and specific . 2. Set a deadline to achieve each goal. After listing all your goals, classify them into goals for 1,3,5 or 10 years from now . Ambitious goals can be split into two subgoals. For example: I will achieve half of my income goal within 12 months and the other half within 2 years . 3. Identify the purpose behind each objective. Why do you want it? What will it bring you? Remember, reasons always come first. Having motives behind achieving a goal is very powerful. Your goals can not only change your life but also those of those around you and even the world, so be brave when setting your goals. For example, " doubling my income " is a goal but not a purpose in itself. Earning double " because that way I can give my children a better education ", yes it is. 4. Break down each objective into tasks to perform. This is the CRUCIAL part of the whole process and the one that differentiates those who achieve goals from those who do not. What activities will you have to complete to achieve each goal? Setting your goals without determining the path or stages that will lead you to achieve them is the same as continuing to dream. To be able to speak English, for example, perhaps you would have to: sign up for a course, attend regularly, read a book in English, spend a season in an Anglo-Saxon country, find yourself a native boyfriend / girlfriend (the definitive solution;), etc. This is the second and most important reflection. What tasks will lead you to the goal? Make the list of activities and feel the power of crossing them off your list as you get them. 5. Take action immediately. Do something, do anything, but start now! It is surprising how many people fail because they do not take action on their goals or plans and put them off forever. Three words about it: ACT, ACT, ACT! 6. Do something every day that moves you toward the goal. The discipline of doing something every day that gets you on track allows you to build and maintain momentum. Daily ACTION increases your determination and energizes you. This simple resolution, daily action , can change your life. 7. Think about your goals daily and monitor progress periodically (with someone if possible). The reason constant awareness of your goals leads to results is because whatever we focus on becomes our idea of reality . Our subconscious is programmed automatically when we think about something repeatedly, intentionally and with emotion. “You become what you think about most of the time. Anything you constantly think about will become your reality. ”- Brian For many people it helps a lot to have someone to share their progress with to keep them going. You can call him a confidant, friend, coach, or mentor . Being accountable to others about your progress, even if it is of your own free will, is extremely helpful. Achieving Your Life Goals is a Studied Science, Not a Mystery Peter Drucker, icon of 20th century business management, had this to say. People greatly overestimate what we can achieve in 1 year but underestimate what we are capable of achieving in 5 years Over the years that I have followed this personal goal setting process, I have experienced firsthand that this argument is absolutely true. We confuse the unexpected changes that come to our life and make it completely different from what was planned 12 months ago, with the changes produced by goals that we have voluntarily and consciously pursued. Yes, your whole life can change in a single minute, but that's another matter ... Experience shows that, if they are important and ambitious , the goals usually take more than 1 year to be achieved. So don't be upset if you don't get what you want in the deadline. Keep working on it because good things always make you wait longer than you want. |
