5 Guaranteed Steps To Achieve Your Goals
Achieving your goal is not something difficult. In fact, as long as you’re serious in making your goals come true, you’re definitely able to achieve them. It is just a matter of time to achieve your goals.
One of the most common reasons people fail to achieve their goal is that they don’t even know what their goals are! Some people do not know about the power of goal setting and hence, they never set any goals in their life. While some people heard about goal setting, they just did not do anything about it. What a waste if you are not using this powerful skill to the fullest.
Another reason is that some people had set their goals, but they are not setting their goals correctly. Let me give you a very simple example. If you set your goals to make Rs10,00,000 in just one month, this will be a wrong goal. Not that it is impossible to be achieved; however, you must consider your current situation.
Just like if you’re only making Rs30,000 a month and you set your goals as to earn Rs10,00,000 in just one month, it will be almost impossible to achieve. This is a common mistake that most people will do in goal setting. It is true that you must think big and dream big; however, the goals you set must be realistic.
It is preferably to set smaller goals when you just starting out. This is so that you can build up your confidence because it is easier to achieve smaller goals. Don’t think about reaching the sky in just one step. You have to break down your goals into smaller goals and write them down. As the saying goes, “Rome was not built in a day”.
So find out what you really want in your life, set your goals and be realistic in goal setting.
Here are the 5 guaranteed steps how you can achieve your goals…
1. Be 100% Committed In Achieving Your Goals
You must be committed and serious in achieving your goals. If you are not serious, you’ll never take action and I’m sure you’ll procrastinate. If you’re not serious in achieving your goals, why do you set goals in the first place? So if you’re going to set goals, make sure you’re serious about it and always take the necessary action to make your goals come true.
Too often, people are lazy to take the necessary action to make their goals come true. So you have to make it a ‘do or die’ situation. When you know that you cannot fail, you’ll definitely achieve your goals. Burn all the bridges so that you have no other choice but to achieve your goals. If you do so, you’ll put in 100% commitment into making your goals come true.
This is one of the most obvious differences between a successful person with someone who fail to achieve their goals in life. Successful people treat their goals seriously and do whatever they can to make their goals come true. However, ordinary people will give excuses, blame and delay their actions.
2. Affirm Your Goals Twice A day
Affirming your goals once after you woke up and once before you sleep is a MUST DO if you are serious to achieve your goals. Many people underestimate the power of affirming their goals. Think about it, affirming your goal is not something difficult; it only takes you a few minutes a day and if you do this everyday, the result it brings are amazing.
Therefore, try to apply this simple but effective technique at least twice everyday. If you truly follow through and do this everyday, you’ll submerge the idea of achieving your goals into your subconscious mind. You’ll keep on thinking about your goals and be motivated all the time to achieve them.
One of the success strategies is that you must always think about what you want often. Successful people think about what they want most of the time while ordinary people think about what they don’t want most of the time. The more you think about your goals, the more you’re going to take action because you’re motivated about it.
3. Stop Blaming and Giving Excuses
If you fail to achieve your goals, which most of the time you’ll face, don’t blame anyone or anything and don’t give any excuses. Instead, take 100% responsibility and try to learn from the feedback. Why did you fail to achieve your goals? Are you using the right strategies? Are you goals too high? Are you taking enough action? Learn from the feedback that you received and you’ll improve in your life.
People will give excuses and blame other factors when they fail to achieve their goals most of the time. But if you’re someone clever, you’ll know that when you blame and give excuses, you’ll lose the power to control and hence stay at the same point in your life.
Success is not about blaming and giving excuses. It is about learning and improving. The more you learn from your mistakes the more you’re going to improve. The best is to learn from other people’s mistakes. Smart people learn from their own mistakes and feedback; smarter people learn from other people’s mistakes and feedback.
4. Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone
Are you ready to take the necessary action to make your goals come true? You must be willing to get out of your comfort zone if you want to achieve your goals. You’ll definitely change your life slowly as you achieve what you want in your life and getting nearer toward your goals everyday. So be ready to get out of your comfort zone.
You don’t have to change your life drastically, but you must be willing to improve your life a little bit everyday. Often, it is the small changes that will bring you toward your success. For example, you can develop the habit of affirming your goals twice a day until after you’ve made this a habit, only then you starts to develop other empowering habits.
5. Get Busy Paying The Price
Achieving your goal is easy, once you’ve set your goals, get busy paying the price. Meaning, you have to keep on taking action to make your goals come true. Goal setting is not a magic wand; you’ll not achieve what you want by just writing it down. You’ll have to actually do something to make your goals come true. If you’re not doing anything, don’t expect to see results. It is impossible that success will fall from the sky automatically.
Many people seem to misunderstand and thought that once they set their goals, they’ll achieve their goals automatically. The real in making your goals come true is in taking consistent action. So ask yourself whether are you ready to sacrifice and take action to make your goals come true?
These are the 5 guaranteed steps that as long as you follow through, I’ll guarantee that you’ll achieve your goals. These are not big secrets, they are just plain mindset and habits. Success requires no secrets, but a lot of hard work and determination to make it come true.
Always remember this, success is about getting things done, it is a process and not a destination. So get ready and be prepare to do what are supposed to do right now. Start paying the price to make your goals come true.
