Have you ever wanted something that was so big and delicious
that you could hardly stand it?  Maybe it was a relationship,
a project, a business, or even a new physically fit body.
 
You envisioned your Goal and set out to get to work on it, only
to find that within a few weeks your energy had fizzled, your
drive diminished and you lost your momentum. Perhaps you never
had enough juice to get momentum in the first place.

Somewhere along the way you realized that in order to truly
realize your Goal, it was going to take a greater investment of
work, time, energy and focus than you originally thought. The
bigger the Goal, the more complicated it may seem.

If overwhelm has got you frozen in your tracks, take a minute
to go back to the basics and re evaluate your Goal.

Every goal you aspire to achieve can be broken down into five
simple steps. There is a formula for success that works over and
over and over. The bigger a goal seems, the longer it takes to
achieve, the more complicated we can make it and the more likely
we are to become distracted.

If you are not making consistent progress, if you are not
succeeding in reaching your goal, run it through this simple
process.

Here is my simple five step Goal Strategy I use to reach my
goals every time:

1) Decide exactly what you want in as much clear, concise
detail as possible(write it down on paper)

2) Affirm WHY you want it (the bigger the reason the more
internal motivation you are giving yourself - write them on
paper) I suggest you come up with at least 10 “whys”

3) Define the actions you will need to take to achieve it (on
paper) rank them and list them in order of importance

4) Schedule the actions (in your calendar)

5) Do It! (Follow through and carry out your plan)

It helps if you find images or photos that represent your goal
and put them in places you’ll see often (bathroom mirror,
briefcase, in your car, on your screensaver, on the
refrigerator)

If your goal is a long term goal, break it into smaller goals.
Schedule at least one thing to do each day (A Goal A Day). Doing
one goal each day will add up, build your confidence, and you
will create enough momentum to carry you through!

Define your top 10 goals for the year
Define your top 10 goals for the month
Define your top 10 goals for the week

One last thing… rewrite your top 10 list weekly, daily if you
can.

Before I begin any goal I “plug it in” to this easy five step
process.  When I do this, I remind myself that even the biggest
goal can be implemented in simple steps.  You should be able
to break down every goal so it can fit on one sheet of paper. 

If you are struggling with a goal, or have gotten off track,
begin anew by doing this exercise.

Are you making the most of your time today?
