The SECRET to setting goals.
Yeah I'm sure you're reading this even
if you set some goals or you haven't set
one goal.
But think about this.
Goal SETTING is easy.
Really easy.
This is why so many people set goals.
Here's where it gets real.
Goal ATTAINMENT is tricky.
Yes tricky.
This is why so few people achieve their
goals after they set them in the New Year.
If you want to know the SECRET to goals,
keep reading.
Let me just show you the difference.
Goals:
The difference between goal setting
& goal attainment
* Goal setting is fun, liberating and can
be completed in an hour or less.
* Goal attainment is fun, but requires ongoing
commitment and a lot of work, sometimes often
over a period of many years.
Depends if you're talking short term or long
term goals. You may want to become a millionaire
but for most people that won't happen in a
single year.
It can, but for the most part, it doesn't.
The initial set of goals, which take some people
from poverty to financial security for life, probably
only took them around 45 minutes to commit to paper.
Yes this is the part where they actually SET their
goals.
The work required to make some goals real though, may take
years to achieve, while others can be made real by year's
end.
Goal attainment can cause you to stretch more than
anything in your life. It requires you to leave YOUR
comfort zones and stop blaming your past, for your future.
It can be the hardest, most fulfilling work you have ever
done and you should continue to set new goals all the time.
Reach a short term goal, then set another.
Want to know the secret sequence:
Set your goals, then do the work.
That’s the secret to goal attainment.
simple but not easy.
Have a great 2012.
