Goals we set are goals we get!
The link to success is goal setting. In a Harvard
study some twenty years ago, a professor interviewed
nearly 100 people. In his study he asked how many
people set goals. Out of the 100 people only 2%
of the people actually set goals and stuck to
them. Some 20 years later he interviewed the entire
group and found that the 2% of the people that
set goals had accomplished more and had a net
worth that was 10 times higher than the entire
rest of the group, quite a powerful testimonial
for goal setting.
Usually the first of the year is a time when
people set goals and plans for the upcoming year.
Many people have high expectations of what they
want to accomplish. Some may want to lose weight,
get out of debt, become a better person, quit
smoking or other bad habits, so they set their
goals and go on a quest for self-perfection. The
only problem is they are unarmed in the battle
of goal setting. There are some basic principals
that a person needs in order to realize the benefits
of success and goals setting.
MAP- the massive action plan. This is the plan
that takes you from start to finish. A person
who falls short of accomplishing goals may not
have a clear plan of how they are going to get
to the end result of the plan. For instance we
need to make a goal, have a plan, take consistent
action, and have a success coach, review your
progress and renew your goals. This is a student
creed in the L.I. Ninjutsu Centers Martial arts
schools of L.I., N.Y. I teach my students that
goal setting is imperative to success in all that
you do. Whether it be achieving your Black Belt
or having the best marriage possible.
Consider this- Knowing what you want, for instance
you want to lose weight. That is an admirable
goal. So how do you do it? You must get on a diet
and an exercise plan. You must have a plan –
this plan is to set out a daily routine of what
you want to do to get to that goal. Possibly going
to aerobic classes, martial arts or even walking
in the neighborhood. A success coach – this
is very important. You need someone that can keep
you on track, when you want to fall off, someone
who will push you a bit. Take consistent action-
this is going out everyday and working toward
your goal. It takes 21 days to develop a good
habit. So be consistent. Review your progress-
take the time to see the steps you are taking
and recognize them. See the strides and accomplishments.
If you have none then reassess your plan. Renew
your goals- this step is important because it
helps you achieve the goal by realizing why and
how come you set it in the first place.
Goal setting is a science. So set the goals
and move forward. It is easier than 1,2,3.
