***** Drifting? Set your goals, make your plan and make a difference! *****
Why not really make a difference?
What is
difference between those that achieve and those who are not getting success they hoped they'd get?
GOAL SETTING...
It is clear that Goal Setting is extremely important for achievement! If you don't know where you want to get to how will you find way?
Successful people don't think it, they do it! Action is key. Are you one of 10% who Plans, and does right stuff consistently right way, daily, weekly, monthly and succeeds?
We all have choices to make. We only have ourselves to blame if we do not succeed and conversely, you have only yourself to be proud of when you do succeed! It is YOUR Choice!
But brutal honesty is vital.
Have you ever heard of wonderful ‘them'?
All through my life I have heard people relating situations and referring to ‘they'. ‘They said'. ‘They did or didn't'. The mythical ‘they' are always blamed for some event. Usually an event that person talking was in a position to influence - but didn't!
I have sometimes asked, "who are they"? - only to be met with a blank stare and bewilderment. These people don't want to face reality they want someone else to be responsible so they talk about mythical they/them!
It is essential when you are setting your goals and running your business to be honest with yourself.
By accepting you are responsible in all situations facing you and your business you will improve your performance and ‘make a difference'. Do you know how electricity works? specifically and exactly? Possibly not BUT does that stop you flicking switch when you want some light? Of course not.
We don't know specifically exactly how goal setting works, but there is massive evidence to show that those who write down their goals, with a plan to achieve them, tend to be more successful than those who don't.
Yale University did a study that ran for 20 years on one of their graduating classes? The graduating students were asked if they had created clear, well defined, written goals with an obtainable date.
Only 3% of class had done this. 20 years later they evaluated class. What they found was staggering and should keep you up all night writing out your goals! They found that 3% were happier, had more balanced and well adjusted lives, had better marriages, and in area that could be specifically measured, i.e. income, 3% with goals had accumulated more wealth than rest of class combined!!!
