ForumsStarting a Business

Successful people are masters at setting and reaching goals. If you interact
with people who have "made it," you will see patterns that anyone can
apply. Here are seven goal-achieving "musts" from the "success
masters." www.readtheanswer.com/index.php?RTA=web2

Balance your goals to balance your life.

Develop goals in six areas of life: Relationship, Spiritual, Contribution,
Financial, Health, and Business. By pursuing goals in each area, you will
create a more balanced and integrated life.

1. Aim high.
   As the now-cliched saying goes: Shoot for the stars, if you miss you'll
   still be on the moon. Get out of your comfort zone. Make your goals
   slightly unreasonable; in other words, don't allow your (perceived)
   limitations to get in the way. Don't allow your old conditioning to stop
   you from going after what you really want.
2. Write out goals in
   detail.
   Just the act of writing down goals sets the process in motion, so be
   specific. Instead of writing, say, "A new home," write "A
   4,500-square-foot ranch home on five acres of lakefront property with
   vaulted ceilings, 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, and a private boat dock." The
   more information you include, the more probable the final result will be.
   By being as accurate as possible you invoke some of the natural laws of
   the universe in your favor as well as getting your brain to work for you
   in the most efficient way possible.
3. Make your goals
   consistent with your values.
   Most people don't do what they value first and therefore find themselves
   stressed and out of alignment. Create a list of your highest values and
   then create your goals around them. This will give you a sense of being on
   purpose consistently.
4. Every goal must have
   two things: 1) A detailed plan to achieve it and 2) the right beliefs and
   mindset.
   You can kiss your goals goodbye without these two items. So, what do you
   have to believe and what can you start to do immediately to move you
   towards your goals and dreams?
5. Review goals daily.
   This is an important part of achieving success and must become
   routine. Review your list of goals each morning when you wake up.
   Visualize your completed goals and how your life looks and feels as a
   result. Each night before you go to bed, repeat the process. This is a
   great way to train your brain to expect your goals to materialize.
6. Finally, don't get
   discouraged.
   You will either achieve your goal or the insight into whatever is in the
   way to its achievement. This is not a setback; rather, it is part of your
   forward progress. Stay focused on what you want to achieve and you will
   find ways to solve difficulties or break through barriers.

Celebrate every success and
contextualize your accomplishments within the framework of your goals. Before
you know it, you'll have to make a whole new list for "next level
achievement!" Click below for more resources.
