When I say big, I’m referring to setting goals that will:
- take you out of your comfort zone
- make you take risks
- push you to work harder and smarter
Goal Setting Tip #1: Set Big Goals
Stop playing small.
Setting small goals, that anybody can achieve, will keep you from reaching your potential.
Set big goals.
Goal Setting Tip #2: Write Your Goals Down And Set A Deadline
I write my goals down in a journal.
This includes my one year, three year, and five year goals.
Also, don’t forget to set deadlines for when you want to achieve your goals.
Remember, a goal without a deadline is just a dream.
Setting deadlines in goal setting is so important as deadlines create action.
Goal Setting Tip #3: Share Your Goals With The Right People
When I say “the right people”, I’m referring to people who are going to:
- inspire and motivate you
- keep you accountable and on track
- motivate you
- potentially help you along the way (i.e. their connections)
If you feel like someone close to you doesn’t fit any of these qualities, consider keeping your goals to yourself.
One of the most challenging obstacles is when someone close to you, brings you down.
Share your goals with the right people.
Goal Setting Tip #4: Take Action
Obvious right?
But here’s a tactic to employ into your every day.
Before you go to bed, ensure you take action towards moving at least one of your goals one step ahead.
Any type of action, no matter how small, creates momentum towards your goal.
One way to ensure you move the needle, every day, is by focusing on your biggest goal, first thing in the morning.
Bottom Line:
Set big goals that will stretch you and get you fired up.
