Achieve Your Goals by #BrianTracy

Lack of clarity is probably more responsible for frustration and underachievement than any other single factor. That’s why we say that "Success is goals, and all else is commentary." People with clear, written goals, accomplish far more in a shorter period of time than people without them could ever imagine. This is true everywhere and under all circumstances.

The Three Keys to High Achievement

You could even say that the three keys to high achievement are, "Clarity, Clarity, Clarity," with regard to your goals. Your success in life will be largely determined by how clear you are about what it is you really, really want.

Write and Rewrite Your Goals

The more you write and rewrite your goals and the more you think about them, the clearer you will become about them. The clearer you are about what you want, the more likely you are to do more and more of the things that are consistent with achieving them. Meanwhile, you will do fewer and fewer of the things that don’t help to get the things you really want.

The Seven Step Process for Achieving Goals

Here, once more, is the simple, seven-step process that you can use to achieve your goals faster and easier than ever before.

• First, decide exactly what you want in each area of your life. Be specific!
• Second, write it down, clearly and in detail
• Third, set a specific deadline. If it is a large goal, break it down into sub-deadlines and write them down in order
• Fourth, make a list of everything you can think of that you are going to have to do to achieve your goal. As you think of new items, add them to your list
• Fifth, organize the items on your list into a plan by placing them in the proper sequence and priority
• Sixth, take action immediately on the most important thing you can do on your plan. This is very important!
• Seventh, do something every day that moves you toward the attainment of one or more of your important goals. Maintain the momentum!
