Business: Set goals and review them

In order to achieve in today’s world, personally and professionally, you need to have a path.  One great way to do that is to set goals.  There are many different ways to set and reach them, but here are some of the essentials to setting goals to help you achieve them. 
      1) Set short term and long term goals.  A fair amount of time we stop working towards our goals because we feel we cannot reach them because we haven’t given enough time for progression.  Separating short and long term goals will help revisit the patience needed to achieve them.  Make sure they are SMART: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time Sensitive.  This make a significant different in reaching your goals. 
      2) Prioritize them.  Putting your goals in order of importance is paramount because then you can keep what is most important up front and center.  You would be surprised what happens when you do this. 
      3) Write them down and determine their importance to you.  There is nothing more important than making sure you know WHY these goals are important.  They help keep you motivated when you feel like giving up, and additionally they help remind you of why you are doing this in the first place.  Revisit them at least once a week, and attach photos for a visual if possible.  The impact is impressive.  
      4) Look at resources to help you achieve them.  Having the right resources to achieve your goal is priceless.  Not only will your goals be that much easier to reach, but expose you to a whole set of amazing tools to help you achieve your goals.
      5) Get a mentor or buddy to help you achieve them.  A mentor is someone who can help guide you to avoid pitfalls and help you gain success earlier.  A buddy can help keep you motivated and go through the trials and tribulations with you so you both can achieve success together. 
      6) Read one book related to your goal.  Expanding your knowledge on a particular subject is necessary, and why not increase your commitment by expanding your vision with a book that will give you valuable information that you can start using in your daily life.  Think and Grow Rich, page 36 is a great example.
      Goal Buddy (www.goal-buddy.com) is a great way to do this at home.  Ask your manager or boss how you can do such at work.
