How to Make Goals -- 4 Powerful Techniques to Get You Started on Achieving Your Goals
August 14, 2011 -- (by Alex Work) Believe it or not, there is absolutely a correct way in how to make goals. For most people who try their hand with goals they adhere to the SMART principles. While these basic tenents do a good job at introducing how to make goals, they don’t go nearly far enough.
Maybe you are thinking of setting some personal goals for yourself. Maybe you have a vague idea of what it is going to be, maybe you already know exxactly what it is but want to know where to go from here. Either way, here are four timeless techniques that will show you how to make goals quickly and powerfully.
Specific as Possible. Want to fail at your goal? Make it completely objective. Something like "I want to be rich" or "I want to be good looking." This isn’t how to make goals, this is how to make wishes. No one can achieve these because these 'goals' means something completely different every time you look at it. By making your goal crystal-clear and specific you are leaving no doubt about where to go from here. How to make goals specific: “I want to be making $160k per year by July 2, 2013.”
Get Obssessed. Do you want to know what sets the underachiever apart from those that know how to make goals the right way? The latter choose goals that they are completelt and utterly obsessed with. They are so passionate that they will go to the ends of the earth to achieve their goals. While you don't need to be do-or-die when it comes to learning how to make goals, you do need to pick the things you know you are endlessly passionate about. It’s a long journey – make sure it’s as rewarding as the destination.
Pick the Right Team. To give yourself the highest chance of success you must envelop yourself with those who are vested in your success. You'd be surprised at the negative influence the enablers and naysayers in your life can have on you. An easy way how to make goals properly is having people around you that truly, unconditionally want you to succeed.
Write It Out Right. The last tip I have for you in how to make goals is to phrase it in a very specific manner. No, this isn't a rehash of the first step. Now that you have your specific, measurable goal, we are going to change it up from what you traditionally see in most goal setting guides. Most of the advice out there on how to make goals will give you the SMART principles, and most of the time you'll end up with a goal like, "I want to be making $160k a year by the time I'm 30."
Change up this wishful thinking into, "I choose to make $160k a year by the time I'm 30." This does two important things -- it presupposes that you are already achieving this goal. Doing your goal will motivate you far more than wishing for it. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, it pulls that goal out of your dreams and plants you squarely into it. This forces you to act it out, and is a great and subtle method to get your dreams even closer to being reality.
Now that you know these four techniques to show you how to make goals, it's time to put this knowledge to work.
