Five Steps to Achieve Anything
Copyright © 2005 Tim Rutt

To accomplish anything in life, you will need a road map to
achieve and realize your dreams. That roadmap is goal setting.
Yet, according to recent research 97% of the US population does
not set goals.
Most people don’t set goals because they have never learned how
to do so, or afraid that their goal won’t be reached. The fact is
you have two choices: either you decide to set your own goals and
the journey will start, or you decide not to and you will soon
realize that you have not achieved what you wanted.
But you can set your own goals - and achieve anything - by using
the following five steps:
1) Set specific, measurable goals. Don’t just say, ‘I want to
lose weight,’ Focus on how much weight you want to lose.
And the same goes with any business or personal goal.
2) Make sure your goals are realistic. It’s important to set
goals that you can achieve if not you will give up on the
idea that setting goals is the most important technique to
help you achieve your dreams.
3) Lay out your plan of actions that will determine how to you
reach your goals. Once you have set your long-term goals,
set up your short-term goals that you should complete if you
are to reach your lifetime plan. Finally set a daily to do
list of things that you should do today to work towards your
lifetime goals.
4) Periodically review your plans, results and modify them to
reflect your changing priorities, experience and
accomplishments. Goals can change over time, so don’t be
afraid to revise them.
5) Celebrate. Make sure you include rewards as you reach
milestones. Celebration is part of the success.
Goal setting is important; just ask Jack Welsh who once said,
“Control your destiny or someone else will.”
The two most important parts of reaching goals is one, creating
goals that are in line with your values and two, staying
motivated. The good news is people can learn the how to do both
create goals that they want to achieve and stay motivated long
enough to achieve them.
