6 Rules for High Performance Goal Setting

February 10, 2011 -- (by Alex Work) 

Do you know the six pillars of goal setting? Have you been goal setting without knowing these fundamental and essential rules for setting goals? If you want to become a super-charged goal-setter, there are some basics you must master. No matter where you are in your life, or where your own personal goal setting process, it’s vital that you understand the nuts-and-bolts of goal setting.

Create Positive Goals. Avoid “I don’t want…” goals. In sports terms, this is playing not to lose, when you should be playing to win. It’s a subtle difference, but it’s significant. Instead of panicking and growing anxious that you won’t be able to do something, you focus on doing. If you want to avoid being poor, change your goal to wanting to be wealthy.

Be Passionate about Your Goal. Does this goal keep you up at night? This goal should be something that you are so interested in that you are willing to invest significant time and resources into achieving it. Unless you care deeply about what it is you want to achieve, you will quickly lose interest and your dream will fall to the wayside.

Write Your Goal Down. Doing so will pull that goal out of your head, out of your dreams, and make it a little more real. Just looking at it, reading it over to yourself should give you little butterflies. It’ll paint that picture in your mind of what your life will look like once you achieve it, and this is a very powerful motivational tool.

Slice Your Goal into Manageable Chunks that You Can Tackle Now. Now that you have your lofty goal, you might be thinking, “Well, that’s great that I want to achieve this. But how the heck am I going to get there?” This is where your goal plan comes into play. Take your goal and methodically break it down into doable pieces and segments. One client I work with came back with a 28 page plan after I asked her to do this exercise! While this may be a little much for most people, you should be able to break your major goal into a series of at least a dozen smaller goals or steps.

The First Step of Your Goal Plan is Something You Can Start Today. Do not wait for tomorrow. Can you look yourself in the mirror tomorrow and give yourself an excuse for another day that you wasted away to procrastination? There is nothing tomorrow that you can’t do today. Keep this attitude and you will find yourself acting more often and wasting less and less.

Commit to It. The most powerful goal plan in the world is useless without the will behind it to act on it. If you find yourself wavering, or beginning to have doubts, go back step two and scrutinize your goal step-by-step.
