Keeping ‘choice overload’ at bay

One of the best ways to remain focused as you work towards excellence is by constantly setting goals. The ability to set goals and make plans for their achievement is arguably the single most important skill that you can master. It’s important to remember that your effort toward execution depends in large part on the goals you set. Here are 12 steps to set and achieve any goal: 1. Decide what do you really want 2. Believe that your goal is achievable 3. Write your goal down 4. Determine your starting point 5. Determine why you want it 6. Set a goal deadline 7. Identify the obstacles in your way 8. Determine the additional knowledge and skills you need 9. Determine the people whose help you will need 10. Make a plan: Work backwards from your end-result and chunk your goal down into daily, weekly and monthly milestones 11. Visualize your goal (desired end-result) continually 12. Last but not least: Never give up Never giving up means backing everything you do with persistence and determination. It means resolving in advance that you will never give up, and making the decision, long before you face any obstacles or difficulties, that you will stick with it until you reach your goal. #business #work #excellence #goal #careers #bestadvice #gettingthingsdone #personaldevelopment
