Goal Setting

Goal Setting - The process of setting goals helps you choose where you want to go in life. By knowing precisely what you want to achieve, you know where you have to concentrate your efforts. You'll also quickly spot the distractions that would otherwise lure you from your course.

More than this, properly-set goals can be incredibly motivating. As you get into the habit of setting and achieving goals, you'll find that your self confidence will increase quickly.

Goal setting techniques are used by successful business-people, top-level athletes  and achievers in all fields. They give you long-term vision and short-term motivation. They focus your acquisition of knowledge and help you to organize your time and your resources so that you can make the very most of your life.

By setting sharp, clearly defined goals, you can measure and take pride in the achievement of those goals.  Once you set goals and see your ability and competence in achieving these goals, you will feel more self-confident.

By setting goals, you will also raise your self-confidence, as you recognize your ability and competence in achieving the goals that you have set.

Goals are set on a number of different levels:

• First you decide what you want to do with your life and what large-scale goals you want to achieve.
• Second, you break these down into the smaller and smaller targets that you must hit so that you reach your lifetime goals.
• Finally, once you have your plan, you start working to achieve it.

SMART Goals: A useful way of making goals more powerful is to use the SMART mnemonic. While there are plenty of variants, SMART usually stands for:

• S Specific
• M Measurable
• A Attainable
• R Relevant
• T Time-bound
