Have trouble achieving your goals? Try these 8 steps to making them happen!
- Know exactly what you want
This may sound obvious but unless you know exactly what you want, how can you achieve it? The more details, numbers, dates you can plan the better. You need a very clear focus of what you do want to achieve it.
- Write down your goals
This is one technique that sorts out the people who succeed and the people who fail. According to research you are 95% more likely to achieve your goal if it is written down – yet very few of us do it.
- Believe
If you try and achieve a goal that you don’t truly believe in, your subconscious mind will not allow you to achieve it. You’ll only succeed in tearing yourself up inside and have another example to tell say you are a failure.
- Remind yourself constantly of the goal
The more you repeat it to your subconscious mind, the more it will be programmed in. There are a variety of techniques you can use including repeating affirmations or sticking up reminders on your computer screen or mirror.
- Be passionate about your goal
You’re far more likely to achieve your goal if it excites you. Think about all the benefits to you once you have achieved your goal. Imagine how you would feel, how would your life be different etc.
- Break it down into bite size chunks
If you have a big goal, great! Often it is helpful to break it down into small steps. It makes it easier for you to achieve and it helps you organise yourself and to track your progress.
- Reward yourself along the way
Every Time you have some success make sure you reward yourself. It will help keep the desire and enthusiasm burning. It will also tell your subconscious mind you’re achieving your goals.
- Stay positive at all times
Ultimately the only person who can stop you achieving your goals is YOU. Fear and self-doubt are common enemies but are only created in your mind. You must also make sure that you are concentrating on what you do want, not what you don’t want.
Remember the only way you will fail is if you give up or DO NOT start!
