The setting of goals, and then working hard and smart to achieve them, is a significant habit that separates the 5% of people who are in successful in life from the 95% who are not. If you are currently within that 95%, then by learning how to properly set and achieve goals, you can become successful too.
It is important to pay attention to the working hard and smart part of goal setting, as simply setting goals is not enough. Plenty of people within the unsuccessful 95% regularly set goals, but then they forget about them, which means that they may as well not have bothered to set them in the first place.
Setting goals and then working hard will also not be sufficient for you to become successful, as unless you are working hard at the right things, which is what is meant by working smart, then most of that hard work will be wasted.
A self-assessment is necessary then: Are you setting goals? Are your working hard? Are you working smart?
Should you have answered 'no' to any of those questions, then it is time to change your approach. It is also time to change your approach if you answered 'yes' to all of them, but things are still not working out for you, as you must be either setting the wrong type of goals, not be working hard enough, or not be working smart enough.
A goal setting system that you should consider is one created by Lanny Bassham, who is a 3 times World Champion & Olympic Gold Medalist. Here is an outline of that system...
1) Know exactly what it is that you want to achieve.
2) Decide by what date you want to achieve it by.
3) Establish what you stand to gain from it.
4) Determine the obstacles in your way.
5) Evaluate what achieving it will also take away from you, such as time, money or people.
6) Write an overall action plan.
7) Create a daily routine / timetable based on your overall plan of action.
8) Start now, not at some specified future date.
9) Have a succession of future goals lined to be achieved after the first one.
10) Never stop until you have achieved what you set out to do.
This system has worked for others, and so it can work for you too. By implementing it and sticking to it, you can achieve everything that you want to, and can become part of the elite 5% of people who are successful.
