Most of us have heard numerous discussions, read a number of
articles, and sat through seminars, training sessions and other
educational forums that have emphasized the need for, use of, and power
of goals and goal setting. In fact, if one was to ask people if they had
any goals, nearly everyone would claim that they have many goals and
aspirations. However, if we wish to effectively transform our dreams,
goals and aspirations to meaningful progress, rather than creating many
goals, it would be wise to focus on no more than two to three goals at
one time. When we focus on fewer goals, we exponentially potentiate our
probability of achieving them. This is not to say that we should limit
our dreams and hopes, but rather that there is a need to create and
establish priorities, and that those prioritizes should lead us to which
goals we need to immediately pay greater attention to. This is particular relevant when it comes to financial planning, and buying or selling one's home. How can anyone select the right investment without an objective? How can anyone sell a home without having a clear - cut plan of where to move to, and why, and a realistic attitude towards price? What sense does it make to take the time to view potential homes, without first considering your needs, including size, rooms, areas, and whether it is affordable and comfortable, and will meet your needs?
1. Many studies have indicated that this is indeed the facts. Those that establish no more than two or three goals have the best chance to actually achieve their goals. Those that claim four to nine goals generally achieve fewer of them than those establishing fewer, and those with ten or more almost always accomplish the fewest. This is a testament to the power of how we focus on things, and the fact that most people attempt to compartmentalize in the way they learn, and do things. When we set fewer goals, it permits us to use our energies in a manner that maximizes our potential and our probability of achievement. There is an adage that the wise man cannot serve many masters, and this applies to how we create and use our goals. The most important thing is to assure that they align with what we most wish to achieve and accomplish!
2. If one claims to have a meaningful goal, then he must place a deadline or timeline to implement them within. Without having a deadline, these are merely aspirations or dreams, or in many cases, even platitudes. Without placing some sort of time limit, it becomes extremely challenging to transform these items into deeds or actions. Unless we become motivated and energized towards getting something actually achieved, we tend to use more rhetoric and take less action. When we focus on fewer issues or items, we become more able to formulate action plans, and do what is needed to implement new and needed ideas and activities.
Don't run around like the proverbial chicken without a head. Rather, focus on fewer priority items, and end up accomplishing far more! Be focused on what you want and needed, and that these goals are4 yours, rather than merely meeting the expectations or value of others!
