WHERE DO YOU BEGIN?
Begin by writing down a few of your greatest goals in life. Do you want to slim down? To take in more revenue? To be in your dream vacation? To assemble your own business? Would you love to live in abundance? To be in the best health? To find your life mate? To have a loving household? For any of these goals, have you ever experienced the resolve to accomplish it, commit resources toward it, work at it for an long time period, only to have it flop finally?
HIT-OR-MISS APPROACH
A lot of individuals are guilty of attempting to undertake their goals utilizing a series of trial and error approaches. They arbitrarily throw their energy out there with all their might on the few steps they acknowledge, believing that this will get them to their destination. They handle their goals in a hit-or-miss approach, and then hope that everything will turn for the better ultimately.
Although it might work in the short-term and on littler goals, it doesn't work with huge, long-run goals. For instance, you might get away with dropping off 5 lbs of weight by simply eating less and working out more, but to drop off additional weight and sustain that weight loss calls for proper strategy.
THE BASICS
A lot of individuals have this misconceived notion of goal accomplishment as they only come into contact with the events of others’ goals. They're not tangled in all the thought-processes, intricacies and literal planning that went into the accomplishment of those goals.
I've set and chased a lot of different goals in my life. My universal approach toward goal accomplishment in the past was to merely center on the goal intently and do everything I could to accomplish it. The most I'd ever done in terms of preparation was to simply distinguish my end target and engaged an arbitrary length of time in my calendar to work at it. That was it. Beyond that, it was all about just trying to get there. After all, that was what I believed success in goal accomplishment came down to. A mixture of one’s want of the goal and one’s doggedness. Do you relate?
I finally got sick and tired of being on an emotional rollercoaster, questing after, and bombing repeatedly at this goal and beating myself up over it each time I bombed. I sat down to have a look at my state of affairs and name how I might truly hit this goal. I began looking around for tips. I was working at my business daily. In my daily work, I was always presented with big business goals and I had to deliver. I considered how I'd handle those goals to finally conquer them. Then it hit me what I was missing – a suitable strategy to accomplish my goal.
A lot of big companies breathe and eat strategy. That led me to my fruition. To put it plainly – If strategizing has been guiding multi-billionaire businesses to success through the years, wouldn’t it add up to practice it in my personal life also, to accomplish the same degree of success? I established a vision, distinguished the roadblocks I was facing, discovered counteracting techniques, made particular plans, did a tracking sheet, etc. Inside the 1st week, I could tell matters were changed this time. I recognized, with a deep-rooted sense of certainty that I was going to win.
Then I recognized as long as I utilize the same operative precepts and abide by the same formula, that I’d realize similar success as well. And that was what occurred when I employed it for all my goals from then on. All of a sudden, goal accomplishment became much simpler. The doubt that used to surround the success of my goal quests dried-up in the face of this newfound perceptivity. It felt astonishing, as it was like I had exposed a secret.
Although time and energy still have to be invested, the action of goal pursuit has twisted into a predictable science. I recognized as long as I abided by the same process in all my goals, I'd decidedly face certain success and triumph.
I've put down the fundamental elements of what I was doing so as to share it so you can get the same success too. I learned about VIPER and this process changed my approach to goal setting.
V-I-P-E-R is a 5-step model, which lists the five crucial steps for successful goal accomplishment. These five steps are:
? V isualize: Truly visualize the goal
? I mplement: Implement techniques to succeed in the goal
? P lanning: distinguish plan factors based on the techniques
? E xecution: Get moving on the plan and goal
? R ecap: evaluate the outcome and future steps
VIPER is actually a term that is used for several different things... snakes, cars airplanes...things with power. With VIPER, you’ll discover that it gives you the might to crack even what appeared to be the most difficult goals in the past. Goals you never believed doable will begin coming within your reach, and in a matter of time, subdued. I personally utilize this framework to accomplish my long-run goals and it's worked marvels in achieving my goals.
Happy goal setting and achieving! Let me know how I can help you with your goals.
Cheers!
