Success Is Not Final
All business people encounter challenges and even threats at one point or another in their businesses but at the end of the day, it is your stamina that will keep you ahead of the competition.
Some people simply succumb and give up when they encounter challenges.
Others continue struggling and hustling never giving in to pressure. These people end up being successful because they learn from their mistakes and use these challenges and experiences to become better in whatever they do. These are the people who become successful in the end.

Once you have that, and you follow through on it, you will be amazed at how this will transform your life. It’s like reaching a new level in your growth.
You will also be several steps ahead of most people, which is a bit sad when you think about it. But that is for them to figure out, or you can set a goal to help others in goal setting! This way, more people will be able to experience this along with you; a win-win situation in anyone’s book!
Goal Setting To Get More From Life pt1
It is possible for someone to achieve several things without setting any goals however, the likelihood is quite small.
Yes it is true that many people accomplish some things without goals but just imagine what they could accomplish when they actually have goals. Think of goals as a roadmap that will help to guide you to the place you want to be.
For many, goals are unreachable. However, the key to making them work is to be realistic about what you can accomplish and in the time frame you give yourself. Sometimes you may be able to get something done; you just need to give yourself more time. Other times, you could be reaching for something that is not within you to accomplish, or you simply find that you are not interested.
Try to determine what you want to accomplish as the basis for setting your goals. This is important so as not to waste any time and to keep you motivated and interested in reaching your goals.
Anything Is Possible If You Just Go For It
You will be happy to know that it really is possible for you and everyone else out there to have everything they really want from life, no matter what the size or cost of the dream is.
It is simply possible to dream high, have more, attain more, love again, start a business, raise your children in grand style and have all these thing in YOUR life.
Do you think that this sounds too good to be true? Well, this may be what is holding you back; your cynical self! Because this is critical; Yes, you actually have to believe in your dreams to actually achieve them. Now this may sound a little esoteric but it plain works, so try to put the cynic in you to one side for a while (and, believe me, we all have to fight against this demon!) and allow yourself to believe that YOU can achieve all you want and that you deserve it too! What have you got to lose…?
Five Things You Can Do Today To Achieve Your Goals
There is a lot more to achieving any goal than just having the goal. But it is a first step. You may wonder how some people seem so great at achieving their goals while other people aren’t so good at it. Part of the reason why some people fail is that they do not have a specific goal, one that is clear and focused. In addition, they do not have a schedule of action to actually work toward achieving the goal. In order to meet any goal, start doing these five things today.
1. Craft Clear, Specific and Doable Goals
For any goal to be achievable it must first be clear and very specific. But, it also must be possible. You do want to challenge yourself a bit, and set the goal high, but you want to ensure that any goal you set is possible. Therefore, you will need to do a little research in order to set a goal. For instance, let’s say your ultimate goal is to lose 50 pounds.
Obviously, anyone who needs to lose 50 pounds and sets their mind to it can do so, but they can’t and shouldn’t do it in one month. So an unreasonable goal is “I want to lose 50 pounds in a month.” Instead, a more reasonable and doable goal is to state “I want to lose 50 pounds in 30 weeks.” This is in line with health recommendations not to lose more than 2 pounds per week, and gives you a little cushion for plateaus and other issues.
2. Each Goal Needs Set Actionable Tasks To Monitor Progress
Additionally, any goal that you really want to meet needs to have the “why” and the “how” included with the “what” of the goal. In the example above you want to lose 50 pounds in 30 weeks, which will be a little less than 2 pounds per week. You’ll need to look at your diet, compute the number of calories you should consume and the amount of exercise you need to see those results.
Thankfully, today there are online calculators to help you determine this easily, but let’s say that you determine that if you consumed 1800 calories a day, and walked for 20 minutes each day, you would achieve your goal that you set within the time limit. So, now you need to include planning your meals and fitting in the exercise necessary to reach your goal. But because of the research you did, you know exactly what is needed to be successful with the goal you set. You can see a clear path to success just by going further and adding these actionable tasks:
* Eat 1800 calories a day
* Walk fast for 20 Minutes per day
Seeing that in black and white you can see that it’s very doable and achievable. But, there are a few more steps necessary to achieve your goals.
3. Schedule Everything
Do not leave anything to chance. Instead, schedule in the work necessary to reach your goals into a real calendar. Writing a list isn’t good enough – you need to schedule in everything so that you don’t miss a single day due to losing track of your schedule. You’ll need time to eat healthier, which requires more chopping and cooking, and you’ll need time to fit in the exercise, which is going to really take more than 20 minutes due to prep time and recovery time. You need to be realistic about how long each thing will take and schedule them into your day properly.
4. Take Action
No goal will ever be achieved if regular action isn’t taken each day. Each morning, look at your calendar and follow through on the plans that you’ve made and the criteria you’ve set for yourself to get things done. All you have to do is the minimum necessary each day to reach your goal. When you get through each day having done the minimum, you’re a success – each and every single day. There is nothing else that can be the result of daily action other than success when you think of it this way.
5. Repeat
Finally, you’ll need to repeat these steps every single day. When you make very specific and clear goals with very specific steps to achieving the goal, based on reality, you will soon discover the secret to success that seems to escape so many people. The real secret is in the doing. It’s like going on a long hike – if you take one step at a time, moving in the direction of the map that you’ve planned out for yourself, you will get to the end and you will be a success.
Reaching your goals is just a matter of setting reasonable and realistic goals, and then setting up a schedule of actionable tasks and steps that bring about the end result you want. You can start today to achieve your goals.
