Goals help us maximize our success. Napoleon Hill, one of the Grandfathers of personal development said, “Goals are anything we want to do, be, have, or achieve.” This is a very broad statement. But it covers goals perfectly! The great thing about goals is that there is not just one kind of goal. No two goals are alike. Sure, you and the person next to you may want to earn $50,000 a month, yes, I do mean ‘a month’, but your journeys on how to get there will be extremely different.

Our individual journey to set and achieve goals is almost as unique as a finger print! The moment you try mimic someone else’s journey, is the moment you move away from your own. You can absolutely take tips and advice and implement strategies given by someone else, but it is important that you are flexible and willing to slightly adjust what you are doing to suit your character and your strengths!

Jerry Bresser said, “There are no unrealistic goals, just unrealistic time frames.” Your goal is not the problem. Make sure you are giving yourself a realistic time frame. If you are incredibly ambitious, set a time frame to suit. Bill Bartmann set a time frame, when he was bankrupt, to make it into the Forbes list of richest men in America within 5 years. Did he make it? No! But he did make it in five and a half years! Find the time frame that suits you, put it on paper, and go for it.

Don Hutson says, “Writing your goals on paper triples the chance you have of success. Setting a time frame and writing it down next to the goal increases your chance of success by TEN times!” Less the one half of a percent of employees in the work force today write their goals down! What does this tell you? Well, it tells me that if you were to put your goals in writing, you would be amongst the elite! You would start succeeding!

Our behavior is a result of our beliefs, and therefore, when we write our goals down and start believing what we are capable of and what we can do, our behavior starts to take after our belief system. In short, if you write it down and believe it, you can make it happen!

If you have not written your goals then right now, go get a pen and paper and write them down. Typing won’t do, you have to write them in ink on paper and keep them somewhere you can access them easily and review them daily. Keep motivated! Keep Strong!
