Setting Goals The Only Road Map To Personal Wealth

What is a goal? Seems like a simple question but to few really know the true answer.

For those of you who are looking for a definition, Webster defines it as “a result toward which effort is directed”, doesn’t really explain much but if you are looking for a canned answer there you are.

For those who which to stay the coarse in search of the true meaning and fully comprehend the power of setting and achieving goals to create massive financial and personal wealth, let us continue.

Why are goals the essential ingredient for creating wealth? Goals are the step by step system that will keep you focused on a future, predetermined outcome. They are the road map that will be followed on a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis to keep us on the fast track for creating a life of wealth and abundance.

The inability faced by most people is clarity on what they want from life and having clarity on a distant out come or result will be the first step in setting a goal. We must know exactly what we want so we can focus on achieving that end result.

We must also focus on how we will feel after achieving this outcome. A strong emotion must be attached to this goal and we must feel as if we have already reached the desired result before we even begin the journey.

Think of this like an architect as he or she begins designing a building. As creativity and emotion is put into the design, the architect breaths life into the building. Long before the construction of the building begins it has already finished in the designers mind.

Clarity and emotion will lead us to our dreams.
Next, a time must be set on when we want to reach this goal.

You really didn’t think this goal setting thing could be accomplished that easy did you? If it could be everybody would have all the wealth they ever desired.

We are embarking on a journey that only the top three percent of the population will ever travel to reach their dreams, the other ninety-seven percent will live a of life of mediocrity.

It has been said that setting a goal without attaching a time limit to it is just a wish. A wish is what people make who want something but are not willing to put any effort into producing an outcome. A wish has no power and is basically dead.

Give this goal life by setting a date and time on when it will be reached.

Another component in this goal setting endeavor is that we must set a series of short term goals that will lead us to our long term goal. These short term goals are our stepping stones. By setting short term goals it will help us not be overwhelmed by our much larger goal which will seem almost out of reach. If it doesn’t seem out of reach, think bigger. This step by step process will make them absolutely attainable.

One last action we must take for achieving our goal is to make a total, without wavering, to the heart commitment, to this goal. We won’t set a goal that we think we might want to achieve. It must be absolutely what we want because we are going after it feverishly.

This goal and the process of setting smaller stepping stones to reach them can be adjusted as we might have to for one reason or another find it necessary as we progress along this path but the commitment that we have to achieving our goal must be etched in stone.
