Six steps to goal setting

To help you even further in achieving your goals follow these six steps:

Step 1... Develop a desire to achieve the goal. The desire must be intense. How do you intensify desire? Sit down and write out all the benefits and advantages of achieving your goal. Once you have a list of between 50 and 100 benefits your goal becomes unstoppable.

Step 2... Identify and write down the obstacles you will need to overcome to achieve your goals. Put some thought into how you can overcome these obstacles.

Step 3... Have a deadline for each of your goals. Analyse where you are now in relation to the goal and then measure how long you will reasonably need to complete the goal. Then set the latest outside date.

Step 4... Take the information you created in step two and three and create a plan. List all the activities and prioritise them. Revisit this plan regularly.

Step 5... Get a clear mental picture of how it's going to feel and what it's going to look like when the goal is accomplished. Play this picture over and over in your mind.

Step 6... Be persistent. Never give up on your goals.
