Goal Setting
Worksheets
An easy way to keep your goals
organized is to use goal setting worksheets. With goal
setting worksheets, you can easily reference your goals
by whatever organization system you choose. For example,
you can have separate goal setting worksheets for career
goals, personal goals, financial goals, and educational
goals. You can also organize your goal setting
worksheets by time frame, such as 1-year goals,
five-year goals, and long-term goals.
Be specific when you're writing your goals on the
worksheets. Start off with writing a success creed. A
success creed is a list of the beliefs, values, and
principles that you hold most dear. It is the driving
force of all your positive actions in your life.
Verbalizing your success creed crystallizes your beliefs
and serves as a guide when you are faced with tough
decisions. If you are unsure of which path to take,
refer to your success creed to remind you of what is
important to you. For example, if you came upon a very
large sum of money that did not belong to you, what
determines whether or not you keep it?
Somewhere on your worksheets should be success
questions. Success questions help to focus your thoughts
and directs your actions towards achieving the goals you
set. You can ask yourself things such as;
* "What is the most valuable use of my time right now?"
* "What can I do to make a sale on my next call?"
* "What steps can I take to reach $1 million in income
by the time I'm 50?"
* "What can I do to lose weight and have fun doing it?"
* "What do I need to learn in order to get a promotion?"
All are geared towards positive responses. Refer to
these questions on a regular basis, and, most
importantly, answer them.
Review your worksheets regularly. If you are serious
about your goals, you will want to review them multiple
times every day. By doing so, you ingrain your goals and
maintain focus throughout your daily life. Before you
know it, you will find yourself to be successful beyond
your expectations.
