It’s a new year and whether you like it or not, EVERYONE uses this time as an excuse to set new goals. It’s one thing to “set” a goal, but how do we implement it? How do we not only HIT it but KNOCK it out the park?
Derived from the book “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill, here are 6 simple steps you can follow to make sure you SMASH your goals this year 💥
1️⃣ FIX YOUR MINDSET
Be extremely clear on what you want. Then write it down. Make sure that it is measurable, realistic and attainable.
2️⃣ WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO GIVE UP?
List out the things you are willing to give up to achieve these goals. What makes people lack the motivation to pursue their goals is not being able to take the necessary action.
For example, “In 2020 I want to lose 10kg, but the only time I can go to the gym is at 5am in the morning and I’m not willing to lose sleep for that.”
Action produces results. You should be committed to giving up whatever it takes to reach that goal.
3️⃣ ESTABLISH A DEADLINE
Be successful in a timely manner. Deadlines are effective as they make your goals more manageable and achievable. “Your only limitation is the one you set up in your own mind”.
4️⃣ CREATE A PLAN
Get the plan out of your head and onto a piece of paper. This will keep you more liable for the steps and action you have to do.
5️⃣ WRITE A CLEAR AND CONCISE STATEMENT
Write a statement about 3-4 sentences long. It should go something like this … I WANT TO DO [….] BEFORE [date] >> IN ORDER TO DO THIS I HAVE TO [….]
6️⃣ RE-READ YOUR STATEMENT
Write down your statement and stick it on your bathroom mirror. Re-read your statement everyday to keep your goal alive.
