INTRODUCTION.
I must say a very big
thank you to all my readers, especially of testimonies-testimonies of the good
result that you are experiencing as a result of following the secrets in this
E-Book. I want to share with you what has made 1% of the people in the World,
to hold 96% of the wealth in the World. It is called goals. Financial goals.
It’s been said that
everyone has goals, whether we know it or not. It is either you set a goal for
yourself or you follow someone’s goal. We have goals to keep our current job,
or to get a different one. We have goals to save for the future, or to travel,
take a vacation, or purchase the things we need and want to make our lives more
enjoyable. An important distinction, however, is that top achievers are very
intentional and focused on their goals, while many of the rest of us are not.
GOALS ARE THE FUEL IN THE FINANCE OF
ACHIEVEMENT.
A financial success or
financial independence is setting goals and achieving them. The difference
between the people that set goals and those who don’t is that those that set
goals usually dictate to those who don’t. It is difficult to be a leader
without a goal. Being clear about your purpose, vision and goals will put you
in the top 3% of the World’s achievers. To move into the top 1% of achievers,
all you have to do is write down some specific action steps that will help you
to accomplish your goals on your daily to-do list and then take action.
WHY SET FINANCIAL GOALS?
1. You cannot be a winner in the game of life without
specific, realistic and attainable goals.
2. Goals help to develop idle potentials in you.
3. Human brain is designed to achieve goals; the brain is
always seeking for an instruction. Man is made in image and that is why we
imagine.
4. Goals help you to develop a good image.
THE BENEFITS OF GOAL SETTING.
Goal setting help us to
determine our priorities, get organized, make big decisions, and realize our
dreams. Almost all motivational experts incorporate goal setting as an
important part of their programs. Zig Ziglar, when speaking of the importance
of goals, poses the question “Are you a wandering generality or a meaningful
specific”
THE GOAL ACHIEVEMENT PROCESS ENTAILS THE
FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS.
1. Well formed goal statements.
2. Breaking down goals into manageable steps.
3. Motivation and commitment.
4. Reminders and keeping on track.
5. Frequent review and re-assessment.
WELL FORMED GOAL STATEMENT.
The goal statement forms
the basis for the entire process; so, careful attention must be placed on
formulating a clear and accurate goal statement. A good way to remember how a
goal statement should be defined is the old SMART, acronym used by many experts
in goal setting. Smart stands for.
SPECIFIC MEASURABLE ACTION-ORIENTED
REALISTIC TIME AND RESOURCE CONSTRAINED.
The goal should be
specific enough so that we know exactly what we are striving for, measurable so
we can tell exactly when the goal has been reached, action-oriented to indicate
an activity that will produce results, realistic in that it is practical and
can be achieved, and time and resources constrained meaning that it has a
definite deadline for completion and realizes limited availability of
resources. The goal statement “Increase Sales by 25% by the end of the Fiscal
Year without Increasing Advertising Spending” is an example that follows these
rules.
BREAKING DOWN GOALS INTO MANAGEABLE STEPS.
Once we have a well-formed
goal statement, we need some directions to follow in order to achieve this
goal. The creation of goal steps gives us a list of the important things that
need to be done to achieve the goal. An action plan, and also allows us to
track our progress towards goal. While the goal “Increasing Sales by 25% by the
end of the Fiscal Year without Increasing Advertising Spending” is a great goal
statement, this is a monumental task without being broken down into smaller
detailed steps.
MOTIVATIONAL AND COMMITMENT.
Motivation and commitment
are what make us strive towards achievement. They give us the push, desire, and
resolve to complete all of the other steps in the goal process. This motivation
can be obtained by developing a goal statement that guarantees achievement.
Commitment is what sets us on direct course to reach our goals and creates
reminders and keep us on track.
Reaching our goals
requires persistence and regular attention. We need some sort of system to keep
us reminded and accountable. If some accountability system is not used, then we
are likely to lose sight and fail.
FREQUENT REVIEW AND RE-ASSESSMENT.
Goal setting is definitely
an ongoing process that is accomplished over time. When we first sit down and
start to define goals, it can seem like a difficult and daunting task but over
time, it begins to get much easier. Patience is required; all goals due in the
next year should be reviewed at least once a week and daily if possible. The
great thing about frequent review is that this forces us to make big decisions
and determine priorities in our lives. We should keep watch for goals that
aren’t being achieved on time or for goals on which we keep extending the
deadline.
YOUR GOALS SHOULD BE.
1. It must be Realistic.
2. Attainable-How much time, effort and money will this
goal cost?
3. It must be Written on Paper.
4. It must be Timed.
5. It must be Specific.
6. It must be Appropriate to all areas of life.
TYPES OF GOALS.
1. Short time (less than 1year).
2. Medium time (2 to 4years).
3. Long time goals (5years upward).
HERE ARE THE 10 MOST IMPORTANT STEPS TO
SETTING AND ACIEHIEVING YOUR GOALS.
1. REACHABLE
GOALS ARE SPECIFIC. Top achievers
know that to reach their goals, the brain must know exactly, precisely, what they
are trying to accomplish. Never word a goal with vague terms like “Some” or “A
little Bit”, or “More”. Be exact. Your brain can help you to accomplish almost
anything if it knows precisely what you are aiming for. Your goals must be
specific. Be specific as much as possible with all aspects of your goals
include Make, Model, Colour, Year, Feature, Size, Weight, Shape, Forms and
other details.
2. REACHABLE
GOALS ARE SIMPLE. Many people
describe their goals in complex terms of retiring on the Beach in Lekki, with
nice cars and lots of money, and…their list goes on and on. Anyone of those
things is a great goal, but the combination becomes overwhelming and the brain
gets confused.
3. REACHABLE
GOALS ARE SIGNIFICANT. No one can
muster the enthusiasm, hard work and courage to reach a goal they don’t really
care about. A reachable goal is one you really, really, really want! It’s
something that will change your life, enhance your health or wealth and make
you proud. It gets your juices flowing, gets you up in the morning and keeps
you going all day long, because it is important! Set goals that are worth
achieving!
4. REACHABLE
GOALS ARE STRATEGIC. High achievers
know that the best goals accomplish many great outcomes, all at one time.
Design your goals to strategically impact as many areas of your life as
possible. You will have more reasons to reach your goal and more excitement
when you do!
5. REACHABLE
GOALS ARE MEASURABLE. Without a
measurable outcome is just a pipe-dream. You can’t achieve a pound of
“Happiness” or 6 inches of “Self-Esteem”, but you can get a new job. You can
run a mile under 7 minutes or do 100 sit-ups. Someone has wisely observed that,
“What get measured, get done”. Define your goals in terms of height, weight,
dollars, inches or hours. Then measure your progress until you achieve your
desired outcome.
6. REACHABLE
GOALS ARE RATIONAL. To reach your
goal, you will need a plan, a path and a vehicle for getting there. Your goals
must make sense. When you explain them to friends and family, your goals should
create excitement, draw support and encouragement. Your goals should be just
out of reach, but not out of sight! You want to stretch to be your best, not
strain after impossible dreams. Set goals you can and will achieve.
7. REACHABLE
GOALS ARE TANGIBLE. Choose goals that
you can see, hear, smell or touch. Go for things that you will enjoy and that
you can clearly visualize. The brain has hard time going for “Financial
Security”, but it can visualize a bank statement with nice, large numbers on
it! Define your goals in terms that excite the senses, and then go for it with
all your heart.
8. REACHABLE
GOALS ARE WRITTEN. High achievers
always know precisely what they want, because they have written it down. Often,
they write a short description of their goals very single morning, as a
personal reminder of their priorities and their objectives. The act of writing
your goals down vastly increases your chances of success. Write it down! Then,
keep your notes where you can see and read them every day.
9. REACHABLE
GOALS ARE SHARED. We are far more
likely to stick to our plan and reach our goals if we know our friends and
family support us. Being part of a team increases our determination, our
stamina, and our courage. Caution; never share your goals with anyone who may
ridicule, tease or discourage you! The world is full of doubters and you have
no time for them. But, find a support team, a group of cheerleaders, and a
coach who will encourage you every step of the way. High achievers count on and
work with other winners!
10.
REACHABLE GOALS ARE CONSISTENT WITH YOUR
VALUES. One of the biggest reasons
people fail to achieve their goals is because they have conflict between their
behaviour and their values. However, when your values and your goals are in
agreement, there is no stopping you! Clarify your values first, and then set
simple, specific, measurable, tangible, written goals that are consistent with
those values. You will achieve them, every single time!
KEY FACTORS IN REACHING YOUR
GOALS ARE:-
THE FOLLOWING ARE OFTEN THE
KEY FACTORS TO CONSIDER IN SETTING UP YOUR GOALS, ESPECIALLY ECONOMIC.
1. Write them down.
2. Pray on them.
3. Get the right information. Decide what you need to
know to achieve your goal. There is a knowledge you need to achieve your goal,
information qualifies you for leadership. Every investment you have made and
this book are investments into your destiny.
4. Put your Bible passage to each of your goals and
confess. Confess your goals.
5. Visualize: Carry your most important goal, get
pictures that will help you to achieve your goals, go Window Shopping and Wealth
wall.
6. Start with what you have.
7. Be committed. The price is worth far more than the
prize. Sacrifice now.
8. Lay the solid foundation of character. It is more
difficult to sustain success than to attain it.
9. Turn your set-back to get up.
10.
Discipline yourself.
11.
Share your goals
with some people, don’t share them with others.
12.
Dream big, set
big goals.
13.
Write yourself a
cheque.
