There’s one simple, yet major thing standing in your way that could make all the difference in whether you achieve massive success or give in to dismal failure! What do you think it is?

If you guessed, “lack of focus” you’re ahead of the game and absolutely correct!

“Focused Action Equals Targeted Results.”

A great way to stay focused is to develop a targeted set of goals with time lines built in for accountability.

Here’s something I found on my internet travels that I’m about to try. It might help you out too.

POINTS TO REMEMBER

• It you keep it “all in your head,” that’s exactly where it will stay.
• Start with your end result or goal in mind–where are you headed? Don’t know? Then you’d better get used to ending up somewhere else.
• When will you start working on your goals?
• When will you achieve your goals, what’s your time frame?

STEPS TO GET YOU THERE

Long Range Goals = Goals that are 10 - 15 years out

Intermediate Goals = Goals that are 3-5 years out

Once you have these goals established, it’s time to set some that are shorter, based off of your intermediate goals.

Short Term Goals = Goals that can be achieved in the next 12 months

Your short term goals will then be used to develop what’s called your “Plan of Action.”

YOUR PLAN OF ACTION

This is where you will see rapid results if you’ve taken the time to really think about what you want in your life and the things you want to accomplish.

For this part of your goal achievement steps, you need to create a complete list of everything you will need to get done during the next 12 months, in order to move yourself up towards the next level.

It goes without saying that you should prioritize your lists carefully.

Once that’s done, you will need to create a series of 30-day action checkups for yourself. This is really a shorter list of the tasks to get done in the current month that will lead you to the next series of steps.

Try to get all of your tasks completed as your personal goal achievement challenge, but don’t beat yourself up if you don’t make it. Simply add the few tasks missed to the next month’s list and go at it again.

What you’re going for is a new skill. You are building strong daily success habits that can lead you step-by-step to your goals.

Some call it a “Vision Statement,” and others a, “Plan of Purpose.” No matter what you call it, just get yourself one written down.

It helps to keep you focused on why you’re flexing those sexy new success habit muscles.
