Introduction to success

Goal setting is a well-known yet powerful method of achieving most everything you want in life. Anyone can do it but hardly anyone does. Imagine - something you can do in just five minutes a day in which you can increase your income, improve your relationships and propel yourself towards success. It has been proven that people who set serious written goals lead richer, happier, more fulfilling lives than people who trust their destiny to chance. If you at this moment do not have a set of written goals.Take a minute and think about what are some things you really need to accomplish and want to accomplish.

For the purpose of developing a habit of goal setting, I suggest you start with short term simple goals that can be addressed in a short time. Your goals can also be personality traits about yourself you would like to change. Above all else you must look at these things with serious intent. Write them down, in order importance. Now give those written words value. Transfer your goals onto one of those little leather like note binders you find at most dollar stores. Along with them write down ways you expect to accomplish each one. Studies has shown that people tend to keep up with notes written on stationary that looks important, like one of those little note binders. Good examples are diaries and personal ledgers, with a pen holder for convenience.

Set aside a little time each week to update and review your goals as you would a diary. This not only helps you to stay on track and realize the progress you have made. But it has a programming effect on the subconscious mind. That modifies your behavior and allows easy transition from one habit to another.

---------------------------- Why People Don't Write Goals ----------------------------

1. Fear of failure

2. Lack of discipline

3. Poor self worth. In other words you don't feel you are capable of great things.

4. Failure to see the rewards that result from serious goal setting.

5. Impatient

6. Unable to devise an effective strategy for dealing with the situation. This is usually a result of poor information or misinformation on the part of the planner.

7. Improper environment is when we travel in a circle of people who do not support a progressive way of thinking.

-------------------------------Anatomy of the plan------------------------------------------

The effectiveness of any plan pivots on how well the goal is defined. Quite often we concentrate on the by products of the core objective.
Goals are set within definite timeline. Practical tools and methods at your disposal are examined. All ways leave room to make adjustments to the plan as conditions may influence how well the original plan works.

-----------------------------State of mind---------------------------------------------------

There is an age old question in dealing with what motivates us. To what extent do our minds control us and to what extent are we in control of our minds. Are the decisions we make our own based on sound analytical thinking. Or do outside influences play apart in how we decide the need for change. No matter to what extent environmental influences affect how we view our priorities. Goal setting is a necessity that warrants serious consideration as a part of your daily routine.
