and measurable SMART GOALS, they are wasting their time they just ain't gonna get there………sorry!
WRITE YOUR GOALS DOWN - Think about your DREAMS and
aspirations - where do you see yourself down the track, what are
you doing, who are you doing it with, who do you want to help,
do you own the house of your dreams, the car of your dreams,
are you traveling the world, etc, - You get the picture………!
The problem is that the words GOALS and DREAMS all too often
become synonymous and that is where confusion sets in!
Of course, there is nothing wrong with having a vision for your
business and your life,. In fact it is absolutely a key ingredient for
success.
However, if you think a goal looks like this: "I would like to be
financially free, able to give up my JOB, stay at home and
look after my kids, take them on world trips and live in a
million dollar house"
Then think again!!!
That's a dream alright,
the kind you have in your pillow at night!
But it's NOT a Goal!
Sure, it could be your vision and it could become your reality, but
in order to achieve this wildly inspiring picture you need to
immerse yourself in some "real" goal setting activity, not just
dreams!
