How To Create Goals That Will Lead To Success

By Perry Gouche


What is the importance of these goals? These goals guide us to where we want to go which is why we need them. If we don't have such goals, then we'll just be wandering around in darkness and hoping that we reach the right place. A motivational tool that gives us the right boost of energy to work towards them is another purpose of goals.

You need to write down your goals in order for you to achieve success and this is one of the key points that any motivational speaker will tell you. However, that's not really the whole story. Just writing them down doesn't give you that energy boost that you need to achieve success but there is a secret to goal setting.

Start to dream again, and this refers to the dreams you had when you were little and saying things like wanting to live in a mansion when you grow up, not the kind of dreams that you have when you sleep at night. Don't be afraid to dream big because odds are, if you dream big but only reach half way, that's still half way farther than if you didn't dream at all.

Ok, so let's talk about your mansion. Writing down a mansion in your Goals list isn't enough, is it? You also need to write down the details. What kind of architecture would it be? Is a fairy tale type castle what you have in mind? Would it be an Italian Villa? How many bedrooms should it have? What about an indoor pool?

Finding images of some of the things that you want is another secret to goal setting because you will be able to picture them clearly in your mind. Your goals will be given a sense of realism if you do this unlike if you were just to think about the word 'mansion.' Find some pictures of Italian Villas or indoor pools or whatever it is that you want and just imagine yourself in there.

If you are a car guy, then it's likely you have a few cars on your list. Right now, you might drive a BMW, but that's not enough. You can add Porches, more BMWs, and even Ferraris if you want because in order to hit it big, you have to dream big. You need to know all the options that each car provides and also the colors that you want. It makes it much more real when you get down to the details.

So, you can start with making a list of your goals but you need to go farther. Try getting into the details. Find images. Imagine yourself as already owning those items. Doing this will only help you in whatever venture you choose to go with.
