Most people set a goal by writing down what they want for example "I want a new car", and then they write down the steps they need to take to get to that new car. This is the most ineffective way to set a goal and it is the reason why most goals are not met!
Start with what you want... Describe it very clearly. If you want a car describe the make, model, colour, all the features you want in it, everything down to the brand of tires on the car. Now that you have a picture of the car in your mind, visualize yourself already having it. Feel your hands gripping the steering wheel as you step on the gas. The visualization is the most important part.
Think of visualization as a seed. Once you plant the seed in your subconscious mind you leave it there to grow. Understand that things don't happen overnight and it takes time for the universe to deliver to you what you ask for. But be certain that it will deliver if you stay committed to your goal.
Next you need to create a reverse timeline. Most people set a regular timeline meaning the select a date and write down all of the things needed to be done before that day arrives. Unfortunately that is not the way to properly set a goal.
Affirmations is the final step. This is a statement to your subconscious mind that propels you to your goal.
I have designed a goal setting template that you can follow to ensure your success.

Great advice. This is what I do. If I picture it happening, I know it will. I tell myself I can do it, and then I set off to do so. And then I stay patient, positive and focused. We are own own bosses and we control how our lives play out by taking control of our lives -- it's as simple as that. If you know what you want then there should be nobody out there able to stop you from getting it. Here's to hoping this blog helps make people realize the value and potential of goal-setting. :)
