1. Get Your Goals - Guaranteed!
Goals, is a topic that many people talk
about, both in a positive as well as a negative
sense. Some people are very committed to
setting goals and others think they are a waste of
time. Some people just care about one thing-
results. Goals: Should you write them down?
Should you not write them down? Should you
care? Achieve them! Live them! That is the only
thing that should matter about goals, right?

2. GOALS
If the only thing that matters is that we
achieve our goals, then let's talk about ways
that will guarantee that we get our goals!
There is such a way... and here it is:
You have to have a system and follow it!!
You have to take this system seriously!!

3. GOALS
First, be realistic.
Too many people get hyped up by people
promising them the world and they set goals
that simply aren't realistic. Then they are
disappointed and then decide that "goals" are
bad.
We do learn that anything is possible, and are
told that we can achieve anything but we still
have to be careful to be realistic.

4. GOALS
What does realistic mean?
The best example is that a seven-foot centre
who plays basketball will never be a world
champion jockey. A person who is five
feet, two inches could be, given time. This is
the difference between a realistic goal and
one that isn't. Take some time and set a
realistic goal or goals. This will make your
goals guaranteed from the get go!

5. GOALS
Second, memorize your goals.
Set them in stone in your mind. Know what
they are. Prioritize them in order of
importance and memorize them so that if
anyone asked you, "What are you top seven
goals?" you could answer immediately. This
will embed the goals and the desired
outcomes into your mind, which is the seed of
action.

6. GOALS
Visualize your goals.
Some people are really into this. Some people are not.
I believe you need to have a vision. I do not think that
there is anything "magical" about the visualization
process, but I do think that taking some time to
regularly envision your dream and goals is a great
thing. It deepens your desire to get your goals. It puts
you into a frame of mind where you operate in a peak
state. Put your goals deep into your mind by
visualizing them periodically.

7. GOALS
Set time frames.
Don't let your goal be, "I want to lose twenty
pounds." Instead, let it be, "I want to lose twenty
pounds in four months." Again, a reminder to be
realistic. But you can do wonders for your goal
setting if you break your goals and put time
frames on them. This gives it a sense of urgency.
It makes it some thing you are working "toward"
rather than working "on." In fact, I would suggest
setting long-range time frames, mid-range time
frames, and short-range time frames.

8. GOALS
Spend time and money on your goals.
Realize that any goal worth achieving is worth
spending SOME time and SOME money. Buy
books, go to seminars, join associations, hire a
coach, etc. Whatever you need to do to get your
goals! Spending time and money will keep you
focused and motivated to reach your dreams far
beyond what you put into it. Big dreams have big
costs, but even little dreams have a cost
associated with them so count the cost. Don’t go
in crazy debt, but a small investment is great.

9. GOALS
Surround yourself with people who can propel
you to your goals.
Never underestimate the power of the people
around you to either drag you down or lift you
up. Poisonous people can destroy your goal by
systematically draining you of your passion and
desire and replacing it with total pessimism!
Passionate and positive people can invigorate you
with renewed energy and a mind set on the
dream. Get around people who will energize you!

10. GOALS
Act on your goals each and every day.
Even if it is just a small step, it will leave you
closer to your goal each and every day. If you
have a savings goal, set aside even one dollar
a day. Take a jar and empty your change into it
at the end of each day. If you want to write a
book, write each day, if even just two
paragraphs! Small, step-by-step actions will
produce the goal - guaranteed!

11. GOALS
Be persistent!
The most important words in getting what you
desire are "persistence," "persistence,"
"persistence." In fact, be tenaciously persistent.
Be ruthlessly persistent. There will be all sorts of
barriers and obstacles you will have to overcome
if you want to achieve your dream. Dreams don't
just roll over and die. You have to attack them!
Go for it and don't give up! They can, and will, be
yours!

12. GOALS
Can you get your goals - guaranteed? You bet you can. And you
will, if you put into practice the above principles.
Be realistic.
Memorize your goals.
Visualize your goals.
Set time frames.
Spend time and money on your goals.
Surround yourself with positive people.
Act on your goals every day and...
Be persistent.
You can get your goals - guaranteed!
