GOALS
FROM BRIAN TRACY
Desire and Belief. Want it badly enough and believe it is possible.
Write down your dreams and determine how you will benefit from achieving them.
Assess how your life is and decide how you want it to be, then set a deadline for making it happen.
Identify obstacles to be faced and the knowledge needed to overcome them.
List the people whose cooperation you will require.
The above provides all the information you need. Now, make a plan. Visualize the end result and be persistent in doing the work.

"What does Brian Tracy say about Goalsetting?"
The ability to set goals and make plans for their accomplishment is the master skill of success. Developing this skill will do more to ensure your success than anything else you could ever do. In twenty-five years of study and experience, I've come to the conclusion that success equals goals, and all else in commentary. Intense goal orientation is an essential characteristic of all high-achieving men and women, in every study, in every field. It's not possible to realize even a fraction of your potential until you have learned how to set and achieve goals as normally and as naturally as you brush your teeth or comb your hair in the morning. Everything I talk about is intended to bring us to this point.
I was twenty-three years old before I first learned about goals. I knew they existed in sports but the idea of mapping out my life using goals and plans had never occurred to me. It wasn't that I didn't have goals, nor was it that I hadn't achieved any. I had just never given any thought to the process of goal attainment. I had never realized that it is a specific procedure that I could use to accomplish amazing things. Like most people, I was moving randomly through life, reacting and responding rather than focusing and concentrating. As motivational speaker Zig Ziglar says, I was a "wandering generality rather than a meaningful specific."
Then I discovered goals and was never the same again. My whole life has been different since I learned the master skill, and yours will be, too.
