A 10 Point Goal Setting System That Guarantees Success

Posted by Reinecke Jesslyn on February 26th, 2010 filed in Goal Setting

The setting of goals, and then working hard and smart to achieve them, is a significant habit that separates the 5% of people who are in successful in life from the 95% who are not. If you are in that 95% then do not give up, as there is nothing inherently wrong with you, it is just a case of never having been properly educated in goal setting.

It is important to pay attention to the working hard and smart part of goal setting, as simply setting goals is not enough. Plenty of people within the unsuccessful 95% regularly set goals, but then they forget about them, which means that they may as well not have bothered to set them in the first place.

So, it is time to evaluate yourself. Firstly, are you setting goals? Secondly, are you working hard?, Thirdly, are you working smart?

If you answered ‘no’ to any of those questions, or even if you answered ‘yes’ to all of them but things are still not working out for you, then it is time to change your approach.

You should seriously consider adopting the 10 point ‘Mental Management Goal-Setting System’ that was set out in a book (”With Winning In Mind - An Olympic Champion’s Success System”) written by Lanny Bassham, who is a 3 times World Champion & Olympic Gold Medalist. Here is an outline of that system…

1) Decide exactly what you want.

2) Decide when you want it.

3) Establish what you stand to gain from it.

4) Prepare for the likely obstacles that you will come across.

5) Evaluate what you will lose (time, people, money, etc.) in your pursuit of it.

6) Write an overall action plan.

7) Break the overall action plan into a daily routine.

8) Start now, not at some specified future date.

9) Have a succession of future goals lined to be achieved after the first one.

10) Never stop until you have achieved what you set out to do.
