1. Set Exciting & Realistic Goals
With a strong goal, you will and can find the how and the where to achieve your goal. When you're excited about your goal, it doesn't seem like work. If you're not excited about it, your efforts will require more discipline and energy. So, make sure it's YOUR goal. Make sure it excites you. And, then, act enthusiastically.
2. Write Your Goals Down
This is a critical step. Don't just think it, ink it. When you write your goals down, they appear not only on paper, but they become indelibly written upon your consciousness.
3. Visualize
"See" that your goal are already in existence. Nothing can withstand the power of a clear, multi-sensory vision of what you are intending. What does it look like? What will people be saying about it? How will you feel? The more detailed and "real" you can make your vision, the more powerful it will be. It will operate like a magnet and draw forth all kinds of things you never thought possible.
4. Affirm Your Success
Speak your goal into existence. An affirmation is a present-tense, positive statement of your intended outcome. I now have achieved _____________ (fill in the blank). The more you can make your affirmations, the more effective they will be. All of these techniques help you to feel the presence of your goal and build belief.
5. Make a Plan of Action
To achieve and stay focused upon your goals, you must create an action plan. What are the steps you will take to get you from where you are to where you want to be? Your strategies will likely change as you go along. So, set your goals in concrete. Keep your eye on the goal, but remain flexible in your path to it.
6. Measure Your Progress
You can't change what you don't measure. So, create mechanisms that will allow you to see your progress. Use charts. Log your actions. Use anything that will encourage you to objectively track your progress.
7. Maintain a Support System
Have a Master Mind Group. Surround yourself with people who will encourage and challenge you to achieve your goals. Be accountable to someone other than yourself. Read positive books.
8. Focus On Only a Few Goals at a Time
You can achieve anything you desire, but not EVERYTHING you desire. Concentrate your efforts and your energy on just a few. I might have dozens of goals and projects, but I keep three key goals in the forefront of my mind.
9. Take Action Every Day
An important goal warrants daily attention. A 400-page novel is not written all at once. To many, writing a 400-page novel would be overwhelming. But a little over a page a day will get it done in a year. Every goal can be broken down into doable tasks done consistently.
Upon Achieving each of your Goals, Celebrate Your Milestones
Mark your successes and acknowledge yourself for your progress. As you achieve one goal, you can see better and believe more easily in the accomplishment of others. You deserve to succeed and you deserve to celebrate your successes.
If you work hard enough and concentrate exclusively on the job at hand, you will have neither time nor thought for worry. Set crystal clear goals, and set deadlines to achieve them, followed by hard work to achieve your goals.
Allah is always by your side, Insha Allah, Insha Allah, Insha Allah
