Ready Set Goals!
 
Goals-The Easy Way™ - Part 4
 
Personally, I do not like anything that is either long or complex.  I want it simple.  So I have established a simple plan to get started on your goal setting journey. It is goal setting the EASY WAY: 

• Establish what you want to do
  
• Assign a due date (this is key!)
• Simple baby steps: constructing small or simple steps into an action plan
• You need to take ownership of your action plan (commitment)

      Be sure to:

• Write it down – if you write it down you will have a greater success rate because writing it will serve as a vision as well as a commitment.
  
• Adjust the plan if it isn’t working. This is your plan, make the necessary adjustments.  Most of us start with giant steps instead of baby steps.  Adjust when needed.
• You should REWARD yourself - after you have accomplished each baby step. You control what you do with your life. Effort in - success out. Persevere and be disciplined!
  

 
Suggestion: select a "goal buddy" and help them achieve their goals as they help you achieve yours.

In conclusion:

• You control what you do with your life.  Effort in - success out.  Persevere and be disciplined!
• Change the tape in your head…stop thinking I can’t, I’ll do it tomorrow, what if I fail. The enemy of your success is taking up space in your mind and is not paying rent…why is that? Say instead - I will, I can, and I am going to.
• See yourself as successful and talk like you’re successful. Take control of your life, think and ask, “why not me?" Remember the Proverb: “As a person thinks in their heart, so shall they be”
•  You are what you think, so chose what you want your life to look like. It’s your life and you are in control.
