There is always this big question when it comes to achieving goals. "I have set the goal... now how do I get there?". This question is one that has plagued the earth for many, many... many years.
I truly believe that as we are all unique there is no hard and fast rules for goal attainment. I can offer quite a few solutions, at the end of the day I would encourage you to try the one that resonates with you...and tweak it where necessary to suit you.
Today though, I will highlight a 5 step process to achieving your goal. Give it a try for a smaller goal or milestone to see if it works for you.
Assuming that you have already set your goal:
Step 1:
Identify why this goal is important to you - for starters this helps you to connect with your goal on a deeper level and we do have a tendency to work harder at the things that e connect with.
Step 2:
Determine the steps that you would need to take to achieving this goal - Knowing the steps helps you to get a better understanding of what achieving your goal entails. Think of it as making an informed decision.
Step 3:
Set a deadline - Knowing when you would like to achieve your goal by helps you to determine how much effort you may need to put in in what period of time. Warning, we as people sometimes think of this in isolation and forget our our existing obligations, hence finding ourselves thoroughly disappointed for not reaching our goals after putting too much on our plates.
Step 4:
Select an accountability partner - We can sometimes get easily distracted and lose focus along the way. Due to this, it is extremely important to choose someone that you trust, who will keep you on your toes whilst you work towards your goal.
Step 5:
Take action - Now this is where many of us fall apart. We set the goal and go through the theory and the paperwork, then we do nothing. If you want to achieve anything in life you have to DO THE WORK!
