Goal Setting: 9 goal setting tips

Goal Setting: 9 goal Setting tips

Today we want to share you with 9 very simple goal setting tips. We will then tell you what the most important one is.

1. Write out the goal (if you have been reading this ezine for any time you will not that is a standard)
2. Make it a specific and measurable.
3. Make sure you know why you want to achieve your goal and what the outcomes will be.
4. Make sure the goal is written in the positive and not the negative.
5. Break the goal down into smaller tasks, At goals-4-life we like to break our yearly goals down into monthly, weekly and daily goals and taks.
6. Make the goal realistic and somewhat achievable (make sure it isn’t to easy, but make sure you do at least have a chance at it)
7. Make sure that the goals is your’s not someone elses.
8. It the goal consistent with your moral and ethical values.
9. Make sure there are elements of the goal that you can control (eg don’t write, to win the lottery)

And what is the most important tip? Number 7. Many people set goals without asking themselves if it is what they really want – and doing the research to find out what it is they really want.

If you set a goal that is someone else’s and not personal to you, there is a fair chance that you will fail. So make your goals relevant to you!!!
