WHY SET GOALS?
1. You are focused on what YOU want to achieve.
By setting goals, you have clearly stated what you want
not what someone else desires.
2. Your self-confidence increases as you reach milestones along the way.
As you complete each action step towards your goal,
your self-confidence grows because you can see the concrete results of your efforts.
3. You are no longer confused about what action to take.
Rather than starting many different projects and failing to accomplish any of them,
goals direct you to take action in specific areas that will move you closer to achieving your desired result.
4. You are able to prioritize your time.
Your action plan, with its associated time frames,
is a commitment you make to yourself.
With this commitment,
you will be able to more easily prioritize your available time because
you know to do otherwise is only cheating yourself.
Goals help prevent you from using available time for unproductive purposes.
5. You can see hope for better things. - Goals let you design your future. You may not be where you want to be today, but you are able to see what tomorrow can bring.
6. You can see possibilities you never saw before.
The results of taking action is a lot like buying a new car.
Before you bought your car,
you may not have noticed that particular model.
All of a sudden, you start to see a lot of cars just like yours.
The same applies to your goals.
Once you start to take action,
you are able to see possibilities and opportunities that were probably there all along,
but because you were not focused, you could not see them.
7. You are able to accomplish more in a few short years than most people do in lifetime.
You will find that once you accomplish your first goal,
you will be motivated to set new ones.
You now know how, and what to do to reach a goal.
You will be able to move forward with a clearer purpose where each new accomplishment provides
a greater incentive to achieve even more.
