The more I’ve been thinking about my goals, I have realized that it’s really important for me to figure out what I’m going to get out of accomplishing the goal.

Let us help you with your goal setting especially as you begin 2011!

If you focus on what the result is, then you’ll be excited about working toward it. But it has to be something attainable and something your subconscious mind can wrap itself around.

For example, if your goal is to make a million dollars this year and you currently make about 30,000 dollars a year, the goal is probably NOT something your mind can grasp.

Let’s say you make $30,000 a year now and want to make $60,000 next year (that’s doubling and will take work but is most likely something you can believe is doable).

Sit quietly and think about the joy that $60,000 will bring. I’ll bet you really can’t do that. You see, it’s NOT the amount of money, it’s not the actual money. It’s WHAT the money will enable you to do that’s really your goal.

Make a list of WHY you want that $60,000. Perhaps you want a bigger house for your family. Maybe you want to be able to buy your son who’s graduating from High School a car. What if you want to donate a large sum of money to St Jude Children’s Hospital in the name of someone? Be very specific about what you will do with that money. Make a long list.

Now sit quietly again and visualize the joy from doing each of these. Actually see yourself doing them. I bet you can do that.

The ultimate result is what’s so important and often forgotten in the beginning. Take our earlier post where we talked about writing 3 articles a week. So what? That is just drudgery unless there is something you can visualize and love at the end. Considering that’s over 150 articles a year and that would bring you great credibility and increased traffic to your site and more income from product sales or people wanting your service think about the fun and joy of being recognized as an industry expert in addition to what you’re going to do with the additional income.

Did you ever think that perhaps the reason you haven’t either maintained your New Year’s Resolutions or achieved your goals might be because they are NOT really YOUR goals?

This is a common reason for “failure” or “falling off the wagon” of your goals.

The goals you have made in the past may actually be those implanted in your brain by your parents, your siblings, your peers, your teachers, your spiritual leaders or even society as a whole.

To me that’s been a particularly important insight.

If you read my post on my 2010 weight loss journey you’ll see that once it really became my goal (when my heart was affected and I couldn’t do the things I used to be able to do), the goal became a part of me and a part of my soul. I accomplished everything I needed to get done in a very short amount of time whereas before I would find many reasons I couldn’t do this or couldn’t do that. I believe that before my heart was affected I did want to lose weight because I was miserable but I didn’t really ‘own’ it.

I had been told all my life that I was fat and needed to lose weight – this started with my mother and continued with the Navy and then with other doctors. The part of me that had wanted to lose weight was doing it because of society’s rules and my parent’s opinions.

This year it became my own desire. And I took the means to achieve it.

Look at some of your past goals and see if this is true of them. Check out GoalSetting4You

Then take some time and figure out what YOU want. Once you figure that out, it will be so much easier to achieve your goals.
