With the new year upon us, I thought I would share my goal setting tips. Goal setting is something that we all do. My tips can help you create goals that you can achieve.

1. Goal
Setting
A Simple But Effective Way
to Set Goals

2. Write Your Goals Down
 People
who write goals down are more
likely to accomplish them.
 Make just a few goals at a time. No more
than 5 -7.
 With too many goals, you will lose focus
and you may not accomplish any of them

3. Make Your Goals “SMART”
 Specific
 Measurable
 Actionable
 Realistic
 Time
Bound

4. Specific Goals
 Use
as much detail as you can.
 I will create an online business team of 50
people.

5. Measurable Goals
 Set
performance goals and not outcome
goals so you have as much control as
possible and you will know you reached
the goal.
 I will earn $5000 more this year than last
year.

6. Actionable Goals
 Every
goal should start with an action
verb “ quit, run, finish, eliminate, etc.”
 I will write in my gratitude journal every
day.

7. Realistic Goals
A
goal should stretch you...go out of your
comfort zone but use common sense.
Don’t make it impossible to reach.
 I will make a video 3 times a week. This is
attainable but making a video every day
may not.

8. Time Bound Goals
 Every
goal should have an end
date...when you plan to accomplish it.
 I will lose 30 lbs. by Sept. 30, 2014

9. Review Your Goals Frequently
 This
turns them into reality
 Review them weekly
 Ask yourself what is the next step I should
take to achieve this goal?
 Let your goals inspire you to put things on
your daily task list that will move you closer
to your goals.

10. Share Your Goals
 But
not with everyone! Share them
selectively…Do not put them on
Facebook or other social media.
 Share with mentors, mastermind groups or
a good friend. Share with people who will
support you…not sabotage you.

11. Achieving Your Goals
 When
you achieve a goal, enjoy the
satisfaction of success.
 If the goal was significant, then reward
yourself with something you really
enjoy…dinner at a nice restaurant,
massage or a new outfit.

setting is a method of deciding what
you want to achieve in life

important
