What is one of the biggest success secrets? Learning effectively how to goal set is a process which has made almost all successes to become successful. In fact even Solomon said that without a vision people perish. In this article, we will look at one of the greatest success secrets - how to goal set.
Goal setting is an amazing topic, but before learning how to goal set, it is important to grasp what is goal setting?
If we think of life, we go through education, get into adulthood, and get a day job. Most of the time, we do things because others have influenced us to some degree, and we are doing what others want us to do. Now there is nothing wrong with that, but you may want to change that to living life on your terms.
People are like ships without rudders, and setting goals is like having a rudder. Though all people set goals, there is a distinction between what the many do, and the goal setting we are talking about here. Setting goals consciously is what is important. A person trying to wake up on time and going to work in a timely fashion is not the type of goal setting we want.
So basically goals are choosing a destination, a worthy ideal, and then taking action on that. But, how do you actually goal set? Learning how to set goals is not something that needs to get you caught up with processes. It is important to put goal setting in its proper perspective.
Goal setting is simply the process of dreaming, deciding, planning, and more importantly acting. As long as you know what you want, and keep trying enough times, while learning and adjusting along the way will eventually take you to your desired destination. I go with Edison's example. He tried something like 10,000 times before finding how to make the light bulb! We can follow such a process and find success.
By far the simplest way in answering how to goal set, is to follow the plan of dreaming, deciding, planning and acting. It becomes more difficult on the planning stage. But, the simplest way to set a goal is to write it down, and look at it often. This will aid you in keeping focused.
So many people, and I have done it also, is that they spend too long on the planning stage. If you can fire, aim, ready, instead of ready, aim, fire, you will likely achieve your goal sooner. This does not mean planning is not important, but I feel that so many people stick with the planning stage, and over time find it more harder to act.
