Setting Goals in the New Year! Put your life and business into OVERDRIVE!!
Copyright 2011 I.M.A.G.I.N.E. Consulting Inc.
Over the next few days, millions of people from around the world
will sit down and try to figure out how to make 2006 a better
year than they had in 2005.
Some will decide they need to work harder . . . even though they
feel like they're working pretty hard right now. Chances are,
this decision won't get the result they're hoping for because
working harder is almost never the answer. As Bob Proctor says,
"there are literally thousands upon thousands of honest, good,
hard-working people who labor diligently for their entire stay
on this planet, yet never become wealthy."
A large number of people will decide to make a New Year's
resolution or two--maybe to lose weight, quit smoking or get out
of debt. According to the experts, more than 90% will fail to
achieve their resolutions, with most having abandoned them by
the end of January.
Then there's a tragic group of folks who will think briefly
about how they'd like to see things change . . . but will
remember all of the years they've failed . . . and will simply
do nothing, hoping that their "luck" will change for the better.
Finally, there's a very small group of people who are bound and
determined that 2006 will be different. They are committed to
real change in their lives . . . and real success in 2006. They
are committed to a PLAN. They understand what Bobby Knight meant
when he said, "The will to succeed is important, but what's more
important is the will to prepare."
The Top 10 Best Ideas For Setting Goals By Hilton Johnson -
You cannot pick up a book or participate in a training program
today without the author or instructor teaching the power of
goal setting. Yet, most people today spend more time planning a
two-week vacation than planning their lives by setting goals.
It's been said that achieving goals is not a problem--it's
SETTING goals that is the problem.
People just don't do it. They leave their lives to chance...and
usually end up broke by the time they reach retirement. I
thought that since this is such an important ingredient for
developing a successful network marketing business, this was a
good time to share with you some of the greatest thoughts about
goal setting that I've discovered over the years.
So, here goes...The Top 10 Best Ideas For Setting Goals:
1. Make A List Of Your Values
What's really important to you? Your family? Your religion? Your
leisure time? Your hobbies? Decide on what your most important
values in life are and then make sure that the goals you set are
designed to include and enhance them.
2. Begin With The End In Mind
Tom Watson, the founder of IBM was once asked what he attributed
the phenomenal success of IBM to and he said it was three
things: The first thing was that he created a very clear image
in his mind of what he wanted his company to look like when it
was done. He then asked himself how would a company like that
have to act on a day-to-day basis. And then in the very
beginning of building his company, he began to act that way.
3. Project Yourself Into The Future
The late, great Earl Nightingale created a whole new industry
(self-improvement) after a 20-year study on what made people
successful. The bottom-line result of his research was simply,
"We Become What We Think About."
Whatever thoughts dominate our minds most of the time are what
we become. That's why goal setting is so critical in achieving
success because it keeps us focused on what's really important
to us. He then said that the easiest way to reach our goals is
to pretend that we had ALREADY achieved our goals. That is,
begin to walk, talk and act as though we are already
experiencing the success we seek. Then, those things will come
to us naturally through the power of the subconscious
mind.
4. Write Down The 10 Things You Want This Year
By making a list of the things that are important to you, you
begin to create images in your mind. It's been said that your
mind will actually create chaos if necessary to make images
become a reality. Because of this, the list of ten things will
probably result in you achieving at least eight of them within
the year.
5. Create Your Storyboard
Get a piece of poster board and attach it to a wall in your
office or home where you will see it often. As you go through
magazines, brochures, etc. and you see the pictures of the
things you want, cut them out and glue them to your storyboard.
In other words, make yourself a collage of the goals that excite
you...knowing full well that as you look at them everyday, they
will soon be yours.
6. The Three Most Important Things
Decide on three things that you want to achieve before you die.
Then work backwards listing three things you want in the next
twenty years, ten years, five years, this year, this month, this
week and finally, the three most important things you want to
accomplish today.
7. Ask Yourself Good Questions
As you think about your goals, instead of WISHING for them to
come true, ask yourself HOW and WHAT CAN YOU DO to make them
come true. The subconscious mind will respond to your questions
far greater than just making statements or making wishes.
8. Focus On One Project At A Time
One of the greatest mistakes people make in setting goals is
trying to work on too many things at one time. There is
tremendous power in giving laser beam focused attention to just
one idea, one project or one objective at a time.
9. Write Out An "Ideal Scenario"
Pretend that you are a newspaper reporter that has just finished
an interview about the outstanding success that you've achieved
and the article is now in the newspaper. How would it read? What
would be the headline? Write the article yourself, projecting
yourself into the future as though it had already happened.
Describe the activities of your daily routine now that are very
successful. Don't forget the headline. (Example: "Jane Doe Wins
Top Network Marketing Award Of The Decade.")
10. Pray & Meditate
As you get into bed each evening, think about your goal before
you drop off to sleep. Get a very clear colorful image in your
mind of seeing yourself doing the things you'll be doing after
you've reached your major goal. (Remember to include your
values.) And then begin to ask and demand for these things
through meditation and prayer.

If there is 1 thing I can attribute my success to it would be
'setting goals' - I struggled for months to achieve them - but
once I found PAS everything started to fall into place...so set
your goals - stay focused only on your objective and take action
everyday until success is yours.
What Goals Do You Want to Achieve in 2006?
lose weight, get fit increase your income learn new skills get
more knowledge investments eliminate debt buy a new car or boat
buy a new home grow your business get a promotion start a

What do you want in 2006?
