Seven Reasons Why Goals Matter By Kevin Eikenberry

Joanna was a great employee. She cared about her work. She worked hard. And she really wanted to succeed. But after a couple years of hard work and long hours, she felt like she really was just spinning her wheels because she wasn't making the progress – personally or professionally – that she had hoped she would by now.

She talked to Tom, a person she considered a friend and mentor, and shared her feelings. Tom asked her about her goals.

Joanna paused, feeling a bit tentative. Then she shared some general comments about what she hoped to achieve in her work and how she hoped her work would contribute to her life.

Tom listened carefully, but she could sense he was waiting for more. And he was. Then Tom quietly suggested that Joanna’s goals weren't clear enough, and he encouraged her to set some more specific goals for the future. That action, he said, would be a way for her to both improve her results and lead to higher personal satisfaction.

Joanna walked away from that conversation resolved to set some goals. She bought a book on goal setting and read it cover to cover. The concepts in the book made sense, and she decided on the weekend she would set goals using the approach the book suggested.

But the weekend came and went, as did the whole next week. Then the next weekend passed, along with the weekend after that – and Joanna still hadn’t set any goals. She rationalized that she was just too busy. She was working too hard, and she didn't have time to stop and set her goals; besides she already knew what she wanted to accomplish.

Six months later she visited with Tom again. He asked how her goal setting had gone and about the successes he suspected she was having since they last talked. She replied with a mix of sheepishness and defiance that she didn't have time for goal setting, that she knew what she wanted to achieve, and that it would take too long to follow a goal setting process. She knew she just needed to get to work.

Again Tom listened closely and while he didn't pass judgment, he did tell Joanna that when she was really ready to make greater progress, goal setting would be the answer. Joanna asked him why goal setting was so important, and he gave her The Seven Reasons Goal Setting Matters:

1. Goals create accomplishment instead of activity. Most of us are extremely busy – running from meeting to meeting and task to task focused primarily on how to be more productive and get more accomplished in our day. But when our focus is on the tasks and the busyness we lose track of any accomplishment – in effect we are focusing only on the activity itself. Goals help us look beyond the activity and get clear on what we really want to accomplish.

2. Goals give us direction. You wouldn't get in your car to go on a trip without knowing your destination. A destination provides purpose for our effort. A destination gives us a reason for our efforts. A destination gives us a way to track our progress and keeps us on track.

3. Goals capitalize on the brain’s amazing powers. Our brains are problem-solving, goal-achieving machines. Our brains operate best when they are seeking a solution to a problem. When we have a goal, our mind sees it as a problem to be solved and gets to work (with or without our conscious influence) on achieving the goal.

4. Goals make life easier. If nothing else, reasons one, two and three improve our productivity. They help work smarter no matter what the work is. And when we work smarter, our life gets a whole lot easier. Who doesn't want to do things that make life easier?

5. Goals help us go faster. When we know our destination we can get to it more rapidly. Yes, any goal setting process requires some planning time, but that time will be repaid many times over.

6. Goals create satisfaction. How do you feel when you achieve something you care about? How do you feel when you don't know if you're making progress? Goals create satisfaction by giving us the targets to shoot for and therefore the sense of accomplishment when we know we have reached them.

7. Goals create confidence. There’s hardly any greater confidence booster than achieving something you have specifically set out to do. Setting goals and accomplishing them gives us the confidence to set even greater goals; stretching ourselves to greater performance in the future.

Joanna left lunch thinking about the seven reasons Tom had just shared with her and again determined to make goal setting a part of her immediate future. Only time will tell if she takes advantage of the many benefits goals setting would bring.

But more important than Joanna’s story, is yours.

Do you set goals? If so, are they ambitious enough and are they focused on the great accomplishments that await you? If you don’t have any real goals right now, at least consider these seven reasons and the advice they suggest.

Set some goals. You can start small, but at least start. A brighter future awaits.

The Journey to Your Goals By Kevin Eikenberry

On a recent cross country flight I looked out over the Rocky Mountains from 30,000 feet and saw hundreds of paths sort of heading towards the summits of the various peaks.

I write “sort of” because looking at these zigzagging paths made it very clear why they are called switchbacks. Those switchbacks occupied my thinking for most of the rest of the flight to Oakland and have been on my mind often since.

It occurred to me that those switchback paths are much like the paths we often take towards our largest, most important goals. We’re definitely on a path, but it doesn’t always seem direct or in a straight line. Through my reflection I have found five messages about goal setting – and goal attainment – in the switchback paths.

1. The need for a clearly defined goal. If you are on a mountain path, the goal is pretty clear. You are there because you want to get to the top. In your daily routine how often do you strive to make your goals that clear and obvious?

From the 30,000 perspective you probably can see yourself progressing towards your goal, but sometimes on the path it’s hard to see. Keeping your goal clearly in front of you is critical to your attitude and aids in maintaining your persistence and belief.

2. Switchbacks allow you to get started. Have you ever faced a mountain of a goal and the steps towards it seemed hard, steep and full of risks? While boldness is important, often at the beginning of a journey, you just need to get started; to build some momentum and confidence. Taking a winding path may not be the most direct route, but it’s one of the best ways to insure a successful start, and finish.

3. Keep your head up. Not only do you need to clearly define your goal, but you must always keep it in sight as well. In any journey, whether walking or moving towards a goal, you must keep your head up – to be alert to dangers and diversions and to keep the goal in sight. Even if the switchbacks make it seem – even momentarily – if you are moving away from it.

4. Switchbacks allow for ongoing progress. I’ve hinted at this already, but it bears repeating – the path of the switchback allows for ongoing progress. The path allows for steady consistent progress – which is critical to reaching any goal of importance.

5. Watch for shortcuts. The well worn path is a valuable one to have, but there may be opportunities to skip a switchback. The serious hiker and goal achiever is always looking for a short cut – a path that might be a bit more difficult, but may cut significant time off of the journey.

Yes, moving towards your goals is a journey, but you must always have the destination in mind. If someone dropped a rope from a helicopter, and your goal was to get to the top of the mountain, be willing to grab on! We must keep moving forward, but always be looking for the big opportunity to shorten our path and reach our goals more quickly.

Obviously, this is written from the perspective of reaching individual goals, and hopefully that perspective has been valuable. However, thinking of these five points is just as important (if not more important) for you as a leader or as part of a team that is trying to reach important and perhaps big goals.

Keeping your focus and enthusiasm for goals as an individual is hard, but keeping a team or organization on track and excited often presents an even larger challenge. Keep these lessons in mind and put them to use for yourself or your team and they will aid you on your path.

Lifetime Goals or... The Bucket List By Chris Widener

My wife and I went and saw The Bucket List starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman the other night. "The Bucket List" is a reference to a list of things you want to do before you "kick the bucket." It is a funny way of putting something that I have had for years.

You know, your life will be over someday, so you may as well make a list of things you want to do before it is over. I actually have a leather journal that sits on my desk that contains 100 things I want to do before my journey on this old earth ends.

Here are a few of the things I have written down, randomly selected: take a tour of the northeast during the autumn change of colors, white water raft in Colorado, pay for a disadvantaged young man or woman to go to college, sell 1,000,000 copies of one book, parachute from an airplane, collect a piece of memorabilia from each U.S. President, and go to the Grand Ole Opry. Plus ninety three others.

Have you thought about what things you want to do in your lifetime? What about even for the next year? I want to encourage you to give some thought this week about what you want to do while you are here. What kind of relationships do you want to have? How much money do you want to make? What career do you want to have? What places do you want to visit? How do you want to help other people? Take some time and jot them down.

Go ahead and make your own "Bucket List." Then get to work on accomplishing the items you list!

The sooner you know where you want to go in life, the sooner you can get there!

5 Core Attributes: Achieve Your Goals By David Breslow

For the last 20 years, I've consulted with or coached people in business, sports, the acting profession and the private sector. It is clear that there are 5 core attributes that remain the foundation for helping anyone reach their potential.

While many people tend to look at mastering mechanics, confidence, optimism and so on…the 5 Core Attributes are at the core of everything we do.

The 5 Core Attributes are:

1. A Burning Desire - Is your desire a mild desire, a hope, a wish or a burning desire to get what you want? It doesn’t matter what skill or experience level you are.

A burning desire is necessary to make the changes you want. Whether it's break 100 or 80 or to improve your game in any way… a burning desire is necessary to make it happen. You don’t have to be a pro or even a low handicapper. A burning desire is a key attribute for any change for anyone.

2. Clarity of Intention - Those who achieve their dreams are clear on what their intentions are. They know what they want and don't waiver in their intention to create it. They know how to provide a specific answer to the question, "What do you really want?"

Not only are they clear on their desire but they are also able to envision it clearly. They SEE it happening in their mind's eye even before it actually does happen and negativity, doubt or any other form of interference are seen as speed bumps along the way… but never deter them!

3. Talent - It may surprise some people that talent is third on the list but talent alone is not the most important factor in achieving your potential. Look around you. Is the most talented person always achieving their dreams? No. Relying on talent alone is a mistake.

While talent is important, champions in any arena understand that talent will only take them so far. Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Roger Federer, Tom Brady and so many more...understand that talent without mastery of the inner game will limit their success. It is the inner game that dictates the outer game.

4. Resilience - Resilience has 2 components to it. One is the ability to ABSORB and the other is the ability to BOUNCE BACK. You can absorb rejection, disappointments and setbacks because you see them as something of value for you rather than something to react negatively to.

Resilient people are able to accept reality better than others. This does not mean they like or ignore it, but they do accept it and therefore are able to bounce back from it more effectively. They have learned that there is wisdom to be gained and they are better for it!

5. Persistence - People who achieve their desires are persistent in doing things that create the outcomes they want. This does not mean persistently doing ineffective things…it means being persistent in a productive way. They use their burning desire, clear intention, talent and ability to bounce back to step up and fulfill their dreams. They dust themselves off, smile; take a breath and say, "I'm going after this again. The difference is; this time I'm wiser and have learned through experience." Here is one of my favorite quotes that highlights these attributes:

“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent." -- Calvin Coolidge

Of course… I’d add that how you persist at something is important as well.

Break Through Almost Any Obstacle By Christopher Guerriero

Advice on Achieving Health & Fitness Related Goals

I've spoken time and time again about the importance of visualizing yourself (every day) having already achieved your goal body, and actually seeing yourself enjoying life in your new body.

Those of you who do this without fail reach their goals, those who don’t… struggle!

But let’s take this to the next level…
If you’re having any troubles with your daily visualizations, then rather than sitting there trying to focus on your vision, “Write” your vision out on paper (or on the computer). Write out your desire every day for 30 days. Write it out without using any negative language, and write it out knowing that you’re achieving your goal.

This will have an amazing affect on your life. Visualizing yourself having already achieved your goal body sometimes just isn’t enough. Try writing your visualizations out, fresh, every day for a month. Then you’ll see why I start every day doing this in my life.

Think that’s a lot of work?

Then think of it this way - it’s an investment which will pay you greater dividends than any stock, bond, or business venture, because it’s going to improve your body - which, in turn, will improve EVERY aspect of your life.

Will Your Resolutions Soon be a Forgotten Promise? By Kathleen Gage

This time of year many people write down goals of what they want to accomplish in the coming year. The sad truth is it is often a very futile exercise in setting and breaking goals. Few people stick to the goals or resolutions they were so committed to at the beginning of the year. Occasionally, you find someone who is serious about what they are doing and does stick with their goals.

Over the last year, I have had the opportunity to work with a gentleman who has been setting (and achieving) goals for years. He actually began a formal process of setting goals at the beginning of each year over 30 years ago. As a result, he enjoys a life few will experience and many only dream of.

One goal he had at the beginning of 2007 was to write a book. His purpose in writing the book was to document the very processes, practices and strategies that have allowed him to be in the top 3% of revenue generators in his industry while maintaining a life of balance and contribution. .

In his book, "What Can a Dentist Teach You About Business, Life and Success? Discover Secrets To Achieving Total Succes!" Dr. Joe Capista writes, "Many people strive for their dream of success, but often miss the one element they absolutely must have in order to achieve their outcome - balance. I speak from the experience of having achieved a very high level of outward success by the time I was in my late twenties, yet my life was far from what could be considered one of Total Success.

Having grown up in an average blue-collar neighborhood my early definition of success was all about how much I could achieve financially. Because of this early measure of success by the time I was in my late twenties, I really felt as if I had arrived. I was making great money, driving a fancy car and living in a big house. Everything I based success on, I had. The harsh reality was, my life was in turmoil. Although I had a level of success, I didn't have TOTAL SUCCESS.

How many people base success on the outward measures, but if you were to look deeper it would be evident there is much that is missing? What I now know in my mid-fifties is that true success consists of more than what we can achieve financially or materially.

Succeeding only on the material level can often leave other areas of a person's life completely out of balance. Even though outwardly they appear to "have it all" their life is in turmoil and their lifestyle is killing them. They lack inner-peace and balance.

The fact is, every aspect of life is connected. In order to have Total Success, it is necessary to have balance in all areas of life.

So often we say to ourselves, "I'm only going to work this hard for a little while. When I achieve a higher level of success then I will slow down." The reality is, if we are merely driven by outward measures of success, we may never slow down until life slows us down through illness, broken marriages, lost friendships, or any number of ways we are forced to slow down. Often we are forced to slow down long enough to look at our life and admit what we have achieved is only the hope of success and not what success is meant to be.

To achieve a life of success you must have balance physically, emotionally, spiritually, financially and in your relationships.

The reality is the more balanced your life becomes, the more success you can create. The more balance you have the more you will realize what you are capable of and how connected everything is.

All aspects of life are connected at a very deep level. Once you come to realize this you can no longer address one area without addressing another. Once you know this, you cannot longer go back to an old way of thinking, acting and believing. Everything will shift."

A quick look around will show us how correct Dr. Joe Capista is with what he writes. How many people live a life in which they enjoy inner peace and tranquility? Sadly, less than we may imagine. As you set your goals for the coming year, think about what you need to do to achieve a life that reflects the deepest meaning of success; one in which you feel good about your life personally and professionally and you have a deep sense of peace and tranquility.

Goal Setting Qoutes to Think About

Here are a few quotes which deal with Goal-Setting. Each offers some good food for thought...

“Success is steady progress toward one's personal goals” -- Jim Rohn

"Goals provide the energy source that powers our lives. One of the best ways we can get the most from the energy we have is to focus it. That is what goals can do for us: concentrate our energy. " -- Denis Waitley

"Crystallize your goals. Make a plan for achieving them and set yourself a deadline. Then, with supreme confidence, determination and disregard for obstacles and other people's criticisms, carry out your plan." -- Paul Meyer

"Man is a goal seeking animal. His life only has meaning if he is reaching out and striving for his goals." -- Aristotle

"To achieve happiness, we should make certain that we are never without an important goal." -- Earl Nightingale

"Your goals are the road maps that guide you and show you what is possible for your life." -- Les Brown

"A goal properly set is halfway reached." -- Zig Ziglar

“If you go to work on your goals, your goals will go to work on you. If you go to work on your plan, your plan will go to work on you. Whatever good things we build end up building us.” -- Jim Rohn

"If you want to reach a goal, you must "see the reaching" in your own mind before you actually arrive at your goal." -- Zig Ziglar

That's all for now... Yours in goal-setting, Josh Hinds :-)

Btw. If you have a favorite quote which deals with goal-setting consider sharing it in the comments section.

Goal Setting Secrets -- Measure It By James Robbins

The literature, which supports the effectiveness of proper goal setting, is overwhelming. I must emphasize however the words 'proper goal setting.'

The small percentage of people who do set goals, do so incorrectly which is why over half of the people who make New Year's Resolutions abandoned them after three months.

One of the biggest problems for people is that they fail to set measurable goals. Take for example the following list of some of the most popular goals set by people.

• Spend more time with family.
• Get in shape
• Have more fun

These are all great ideas but they are not goals. Remember when you went to the family reunion and someone had set up the volleyball net. Slowly more and more people made their way over to the court while you rallied and played around.

After a period of time, rallying gets boring and inevitably someone says, "let's play for real." Suddenly the game changes. Now you have people getting in their ready stance, positioning becomes important, people start diving for balls and arguing whose ball that was that just landed in between them.

What changed to make people behave differently? The ball is the same, the court is the same, even the people are the same. What changed was the fact that now you are measuring. Now as you count points, effort matters. At the end of the game there will be a winner and a loser.

The principle is true for all areas of life. If you really want to change something then you must measure it. Another way to look at this is whatever you measure, you focus on, and what you focus on you change.

Lets take a look again at the goal 'Spend more time with family.' How are we going to measure this? How will we know when we have reached the desired amount of time to deem 'successful'?

We need to break this down and ask ourselves, what does this goal look like? I once had a goal resembling 'Spend more time with family.' My family helped me out by defining it for me. This is what they said:

• Stay off the computer between 5:00pm and 8:00pm
• Take my wife on a date every other week.
• Once a week have a one-on-one with one of the kids.

Now I had something I could measure. At the end of a few months I could even give you a percentage of how I had done. My family was not looking for perfection here but improvement.

If I could show my family that 80% of the time I had done what they had asked, they would certainly determine that to be successful.

What about 'Get in shape' what does that look like? Last I checked 'round' was a shape but I don't think that's the shape you are talking about. If this is one of your goals you have to break this down into something you can measure. Is it a certain weight you want to reach, inches you want to lose, a cholesterol number you want to get to, a blood pressure reading you want to lower?

After you have defined what 'Shape' is then you have to set some measurable goals that are going to get you there. They might be things like exercise for 45 minutes three times a week, or stick to my meal plan everyday, or cut out all junk food.

Now let's take a look at the last goal to 'Have more fun.' Again, how will you know when you have reached this? Last time I checked there was no such thing as a Fun-Meter, which you could hook yourself up to and get a reading.

First of all what activities are fun for you? Once you determine that then set some goals to do those activities more often. Lets say hanging out with friends is what really gets you jazzed, then set some goals for times with friends every month.

You might want to set aside two Saturdays each month for entertaining guests and designate one weeknight as movie night where you go and check out the latest movies.

The secret is to make your goals measurable otherwise they are not really goals at all but rather good intentions. But if you take the time to find a way to measure your goals and create the supporting steps to help get you there, in no time at all you will experience incredible success in your life.

Seven Realistic Ways to Achieve Your New Year's Goals By Robert Moment

Have you ever completed every goal compiled on your new year's resolution list? Learn to set realistic goals and know your self-worth -- what a better way to start the New Year.

The next time you find yourself measuring your success by reviewing a balance sheet or looking at the dollar signs on your bank statement, consider the following statement, "Your self-worth is more important than your net worth." You'll be much more motivated in the coming year if you understand your self-worth, which is so much more valuable than just your net worth.

One is simply a number; the other is what opens the door to opportunities and can lead to amazing success. Stay self-motivated by knowing your self-worth.

There are seven realistic ways to achieve your New Year's goals that will contribute to your self-worth and your potential for success in life:

1. Practice conditioning your mind with positive thoughts.

It's tempting to get discouraged during times of stress, but you can train yourself to look at things positively. With practice, you can learn to look at even the worst situations as opportunities. Become aware of your negative thoughts as they happen, and replace them with a more positive spin - you'll find that it soon becomes second nature.

2. Exercise to stay energized.

Your physical, mental, and emotional health are dependent upon one another. A bit of exercise each day will improve your energy levels and your mental clarity - both vital to staying motivated.

3. Avoid negative people.

True, no matter what we do, there will be negative people who enter our lives every now and then. But that doesn't mean we need to surround ourselves with them! Negativity is contagious. Have you ever noticed how being in a room with happy people brings a smile to your face?

Negative people can bring you down in the same way and sap your energy. Minimize your time with them, and remind yourself that their bad attitudes don't necessarily have to be yours.

4. Surround yourself with motivated, goal-oriented people.

Make sure your team is a positive one and focus your time and energy on people who bring a motivated, animated influence to your environment. Creativity and optimism are just as contagious as negativity - they feed off of each other. The encouragement and support you'll get from like-minded, goal-oriented people will spur you on to greater achievements.

5. Be flexible.

There is always more to learn and there will often be changes in circumstances that need to be faced head-on. If you can remain flexible, you'll be able to adapt to unexpected changes and turn them into opportunities. Keeping your mind open to alternative thoughts, perspectives, and ideas will open doors and reduce your own stress.

Considering as many opportunities and new ideas as possible is the kind of flexibility that will improve your self-worth by leading you down more paths that can lead to success.

6. Stretch yourself past your limits.

Don't overexert or overextend yourself - that will only drain your energy. Instead, stretch yourself. Stretching yourself means trying as hard as you can and then giving a little bit more. This way, you won't ever hold yourself back and you'll know that you can be very proud of every accomplishment because you gave your all.

7. Stop trying to be perfect.

Nobody is perfect, so stop trying so hard. Begin the New Year by allowing yourself the luxury of imperfection. Giving up on achieving perfection gives you permission to focus on a much more realistic and admirable goal - reaching your own personal best and being comfortable and happy in your own skin.

Perfection is the worst enemy of success. Consider completion to be your goal - not perfection. This way you can let go and move on to the next project without festering about endlessly trying to put the final "perfect" touches on each project you finish.

The New Year is a wonderful chance to achieve success with these seven simple steps. Each one will improve your outlook on life and help you deal with the many ups and downs of life. Envision the life you intend to live by taking the right approach to staying self-motivated and you'll have a stellar and successful new year!
