It’s less than a month into the new year, and I’ve decided to set my goals for the year. I never do it on New Year’s Day, because then it’s a resolution. I’m the girl who has so many goals whirling around in her head that she can’t figure out where to start, so she just doesn’t. Well, not anymore!
Goals! How to Get Everything You Want taught me how to prioritize my goals, and just what to expect. The important part of goal setting, is to learn to break the larger goals into smaller pieces. And for the first time in my life, I have a clear path and a concrete set of goals.
I also used to keep my goals private, not wanting anyone to poo-poo them, but this year I sat down with my husband and explained to him what my number one goal was, and how I planned to achieve it. His response, “Let me know if I can do anything to help.” Now that was not what I expected. Maybe I should have shared my goals years ago? Hahaha.
So I’m on my way, and by this time next year, I will have achieved a huge goal that I’ve finally put on paper. What about you? How do you set and achieve your goals? Need help defining and achieving? Try this book from Brian Tracy! For the wicked low Kindle price, you can’t go wrong.
Great post. I especially can relate to the “share your goals.” The more I “announce” what I want to achieve, the better chance it has of coming true. That whole law of attraction thing as well as the power of intention. Just like when you write it down, you are more likely to make it happen.
Good luck to you on achieving them all!
I’m a self-help book nut. I love the laws of attraction too. I’ve has a change of outlook on my life since changing the way I think. Lovin’ it.
I have this in the audio version. It’s great. I think my first goal needs to be to sit down and write out my goals. I’m blessed to have a very supportive wife, who I know wants us to achieve all of our goals. It’s my own doubts that hold me back, and I think, in the back of my mind, if I don’t write down goals, I can’t fail at my goals. Your post has encouraged me to revisit this book and to move forward with getting the goals out of my head and onto paper.
Ha, Brian, I completely understand where you’re coming from. I never wrote goals down, and NEVER EVER told anyone. I’m moving past that now. And telling my husband was the smartest thing I ever did. He’s really on board and has even started working with me on a sitcom that’s been stumping me. It’s interesting to brainstorm with him after all these years.
I also listen to several different subliminal MP3s I got from Amazon. I think they help me with my procrastination, as I’m much better about doing instead of just thinking about it.
