Goal setting is one of the most vital tools for persons who wish to lead productive lives. How is it done? Many methods exist - I will outline a simple for you.\n\nThe first and most effective action to take in any goal setting endeavor is to make a life list. A life list is a summary of what you would like to accomplish at your current age and each year following. A life list should state something like:\n\n"I am currently 18 years old and have completed high school. I have worked some part time jobs and saved some money. I would like to become an experienced auto mechanic in the next two years. To do this I must go to mechanic school. The course will finish in one year. The next course starts in August and I will register for that one.\n\nBy the time I am 19 I will have completed mechanic school."\n\nFrom this point you will have to break down the steps to complete school. Make each step something that can be accomplished easily. To set and achieve big goals you must set small goals leading to the larger goals. Set them in writing and break each one down to small parts.

set your goals, but do so PRACTICALLY. DON'T put too much on your plate...do what you can in 24 HOURS -- and no more...focus and you will achieve...good luck...acknowledging that you have a problem with this is the first step.....

Motivation and Consistency are key. Just keep telling yourself that's the only way to achieve your goal, and you will naturally be more motivated.

To achieve your goals, you need to take action. That action is to stop your goals being things floating around in your head, and make them more concrete.\n\nWhat you need to do is get them deep into your mind, so that they fill your thoughts and you are constantly conscious of them - that way you will strive towards them with more assertion rather than leaving them at the back of your mind.\n\nOne common technique is to close your eyes, and visualise your target / goal and what it looks like once you have what you want.\n\nThen you will be able to live it and achieve it in a more tangible fashion. You might have heard quotes to the tune of something like 'successful people have already been where they want to go' - which echoes true with this sentiment.

There are a lot of strategies.\n\nYou could put a goal weight or new piece of clothing somewhere where you always see it.\n\nYou could pursue your goal with a friend.\n\nThe most important thing, IMHO, is to allow yourself to cheat once in a while and/or to be forgiving when you aren't sticking to your plan perfectly.  There's a great expression AA folks use:  progress, not perfection.  \n\nAs long as you're making progress in the right direction...that is motivating in itself.\n\nBEST OF LUCK!!

Goals have to be S.M.A.R.T.\n\nspecific - measureable - achieveable - relevant - timed\n\nFind out about others and what they reached within a certain time after BS - or think of your "dream job" and which steps are needed to reach it.

Do a little bit each day instead of saving it all for the end.  Try to set a goal and stick to it. But you still need the will power to keep from blowing it off.

Break down your goal into smaller manageable steps. Like if your goal is to get in shape then outline a plan to get there. Like plan out what exercise you are going to do for the next week. You could also have a reward for yourself for when you reach a goal.

Set small short-term goals (make sure they are achievable), and have set rewards for when you achieve your goals. If your goals are weight- or fitness-related, try having a look at sparkpeople.com. They have a points system, which is doing remarkably well keeping me in line.

When setting objectives, list down key result areas for each particular objective, as well as a matching measurable performance indicators. the strategies must then be set in line with your objective and must answer to your key result areas and measured through performance indicators.\n\nFor example, your main company goal is to increase profitability and your main strategy being to increase sales by providing higher comission rates to agents surpassing their quota, your Key Result Area would be the total sales of say $1,000,000.00 per agent. your agent's actual performance would then be matched to your set KRA and would measure as Performance Indicator.

I think we hit pretty much what we are aiming at.  Set your goal for mediocrity and you will achieve it.  There is no point in setting a high goal unless you are willing to do "Whatever it takes" to achieve it.  If I decide to do something, I do it.  If I ask myself "Can I do it?" the answer is usually NO!  A wiseman once said: "If you think you can or you think you can't, you're right!"  I have been sharing with you my philosophy of setting HIGH goals.  Now let me answer your question.\n\nHigh Goals Advantages=\nSomething worth achieving\nForces focus\nProfit, baby Profit!\n\nHigh Goals Disadvantages=\nSome complain\nSome quit\nMay have to learn from your mistakes\nOnce you achieve it, management will always expect a miracle!\nIf you don't know how to make it "FUN" forget it.\n\nBy the way, if this all sounds like mindless philosophyspeak, you should know that I have many years experience in fund-raising for various organizations.  Recently I was told not to even attempt a project because of the recession, the war, and some hard times in our local economy.  We took it on anyway and YEP we did it!  Why?  Because we NEEDED to succeed.  Failure was not an option.  That's how goals are attained.  There will always be those who say "lower your sites".  Avoid them at all costs.
