You've gotten some pretty good quotes from people who are very
successful, and are ready to jump in head first and start making
your own goals. Are you ready?
Nope.
Of course, jot down some ideas as they come to you. But you are not
yet ready to start making the master plan just yet. Lets go through a
few tips to get you started.
Give
Thanks For What You Have
The best way to start is to look at what you have now. Be thankful
for what you have and realize the work, energy and attraction that
went into acquiring what you now possess. This will give you a
starting point and a realization of what you really need. Listing
what you have and what it means to you will put in perspective of
what it is that you really want. (It is also an important part
of the law of attraction)
Look
Inward and Know Your “Why”
No matter how big your plan, if you don't know why you are doing it,
you risk losing the motivation to keep doing it when times get tough.
Would you run into a burning building? Would you do it if the fire
department was 50 miles away, and your child was inside? I know you
would.
Your “why” is your springboard for finding what you desire.
Realizing what aspect of life that you want better will point you to
what you need to have done. Your “why” is your personal trainer.
Your “why” is your inner motivation to keep on trucking when the
roads get muddy.
Specify
Take
what you have gathered so far and really zoom in on it. Be specific.
Don't just want to make more money in the future, say “I am a
millionaire by August 13th,
2020.” Don't just want to buy a house soon, say”I own a home as
of May 3rd,
2012.”
Did
you see what else I did there? I am stating my goals as if they
happened already. In my mind I am not “wishing” for these things,
I have already “done” them. This is the same thing that happens
when you go to buy a new car. “Would you like your
new Camry in fire red,
or basic black?”
There
are plenty of other aspects of goal planning that we intend to cover
soon, but this will get you started for now. Don't kill yourself over
details. Don't make your goals too small for now. And most of all,
don't think you cannot achieve it. Write everything down, even if you
have a goal to climb Mt Everest on your fingertips.
