Be a Goal-Getter, not a Goal-Setter
Most people have goals. But why are some people able to accomplish theirs, while others can’t?
It’s because they know that action drives results.
You Can Accomplish Anything
When you have an idea, no matter how small or large, having a plan will dramatically increase your chance of success.
Think of ANY goal you have right now and apply the following 7 steps to it. Set a 90 day plan to make it happen.
Set S.M.A.R.T. Goals
S Specific – Does it target a specific area for improvement?
M Measurable – What will the measure of success be?
A Attainable – Are you being realistic?
R Relevant – Does it actually apply to your overall vision?
T Time Bound – Is there a deadline?

Schedule the Activities
The MOST important step in actually attaining your goals is to schedule each activity in your calendar and track whether you completed the tasks or not. To be 100% effective, you should only have to say YES or NO on the completion of tasks.

Forget the Goal (That’s Right)
When we set goals, the natural habit is to track our progress towards the goal each day. And when we do, we get frustrated, right? We need to give ourselves time for the new habits and activities to happen. Focus on the tasks and make sure you just get things done.

Review, Evaluate, Improve
Once you get to the end of your goal, take some time to reflect on how it went. Also reflect on your own personal journey. How was your mindset? What did you do to maintain momentum? What mistakes can you learn from?
6
Enjoy the Process
One of the major challenges we face when we set goals is the focus ONLY on results. To be successful long-term, you have to try and find joy in the tasks and work you have to do to achieve your goals. Celebrate the small victories and reward yourself each day you get things done.
