Proper Goal Setting Motivates And I'll Give You The Exact 'Recipe'!...

Is goal setting really that important?...

Setting goals is a powerful exercise, why? Because it supplies your brain with the ever so important ingredient it needs to GREATLY improve your chances of achieving a successful outcome!

"What's this important ingredient then?" I hear you ask...

You'll probably work out the answer yourself with this simple example...

Suppose you have a 100k debt that has to be repaid within 12 months or else your home will be repossessed. On top of this, you're broke...

100k? In 12 months? Hmmm! This 'seems' like mission impossible, right? Before panicking, recognise, most BIG problems are often, if not always, made up of smaller problems. So why don't we break this BIG 100k problem down into smaller problems?

By simply dividing 100k by the loan term, i.e. 12 months, we get £8,333.33. I don't know about you, but £8,333.33 per month, for 12 months, seems much more achievable then 100k, in 12 months. But we can make it 'seem' even smaller...

The logical step down from a month, is a week. So, if we divide 100k by 52 weeks in a year, we get £1,923.08. Sounds better but we can make it 'seem' even smaller. Try £1,923.08 divided by 7 days in a week, that's £274.73. That's even better, right?...

So what's my point?...

By simply goal setting and making the problem SEEM smaller, you are making the prospect of overcoming the problem much more BELIEVABLE. What sounds easier? Make 100,000 in 12 months, or make 274.73 per day...

So in effect, just by goal setting, you're giving your brain a 'sales pitch' - Just like a dodgy double glazing salesman would - you know the type that end up selling you a ton of products that you don't actually need!...

THE MISSING INGREDIENT...

When you can't see a way forward your brain shuts down, and in the case of our example, will probably go back to that thought of emigrating.

You're probably wondering how to solve the problem of making £274.73 per day, right? To that question, I would reply, "I'm just a self improvement strategist, NOT a business guru, so you're on your own there"!

Hopefully, you can see from this simple example how setting goals and making the problem SEEM smaller, gives your all important brain a much better chance of both comprehending, and achieving it. OK, back to your question...

What question?...

You remember, the you asked me, at the beginning of this article, about what the vital missing ingredient is that gives you a outstanding chance of achieving a successful outcome...

The ingredient that is missing, is...

CLARITY...

You will encounter that, 'berry your head in the sand feeling' if you don't have clarity. That's why it's so, so, SO important to set your goals towards accomplishing life's many challenges. I always advise people to ha the same motto as debt consolidation companies - Small, manageable, monthly repayments!
