This is what most people say about goals. "I don't need goals; I'm doing fine."
But
the truth is, living your life without goals and objectives is like
going from north London to south London on the underground but without
use of the underground map with which train to catch in which direction.
Hopping on and off station-to-station and hoping for the best. If you
are doing well today without written goals and plans, you could probably
be doing many times better in the future if you had clear targets to
aim at and the ability to measure your progress as you go along.
If
you have tried and failed before and look to give it one more try, you
have to know your mistakes and learn from it and set realistic and
time-bounded goals to make sure you are still in the right track.
Effective
GOAL SETTING is essential and a critical step to achieve success. If
you want to achieve the end result you have envisioned in your mind
whether it be success at a business, the lifestyle you always dreamed of
or finally having the financial security for your loved ones. Whatever
end result you have, goal setting is necessary to achieving it.
Fortunately,
goal setting is a skill, like time management, teaching, selling,
managing, or anything else that you need to become a highly productive
and effective person. And all skills are learnable. You can learn the
skill by practice and repetition until it becomes as easy and as
automatic as breathing. And from the very first day that you begin
setting goals, the progress you will make and the successes you will
enjoy will dazzle you.
