How to Set and Achieve realistic and Effective (SMART) goals - Part Two
How to line the Right Goals to Achieve what we really Want out of Life?
by Craig Lock
Well now is a great time of year to start setting goals for
the coming
year and put these into practice (forgotten a new years
ones already?)
and consequently CREATE YOUR OWN FUTURE.
What is really important to you right this moment in your
life? In other words, what do you really value? The
main headings are: PEOPLE- THINGS- additional , e.g.
career. Also finances. That word money again!

Areas of goals :
These can be divided into quick , medium and
long-term; these respectively being six months,
one/two a few years five plus years. Also divide them
into balanced factors , being: personal, family,
social and work goals. And then break them down even more into:
* Spiritual
* Mental
* Physical
* Financial
* Family
* Community/School
Remember that over-concentration on one associated with your
goals will not ensure accomplishment. A car can only run well
if the many tyres are inflated towards the correct pressure...
and when it has four wheels!
The art of goalsetting would be to balance all of these areas.
If one area is out of proportion within your wheel of life,
7/31/2019 How To Set And Accomplish Realistic And Effective (Sensible ) Goals
3/21
it affects everything else. Your wheel of life should
be curved evenly and balanced, in order that it gives a
smooth ride. Unlike mine. Currently my self confidence is
pathetic; so I am subscribing to "rent-a-friend", as I'm way
too involved with my work, my producing and spend
far too much time concentrated on it... Instead of
having more fun !
A thought...
Perhaps isn't it about time I slowed down in my article
submissions and set a goal of using that point for pure relaxation! how is that for a goal?
TIPS ON HOW TO ACHIEVE GOALS
1. Give yourself permission to dream as well as desire. Put
aside (asmuch since you can ) all reason and common sense. If you
don't have a target , you have nothing to aim for and
no plan of action. Without a goalyou are just kicking
a ball around. Believe creatively by using your
imagination in setting targets.

2. Make a learn dream list. It is important to write
down everything you want and need. Every place you
want to go and everything you wish to become
or achieve. These doesn't have to be high ideals, but
genuine would like , eg. Putting food on the table (most
important for "starving" copy writers - hint hint, declare no
more, say no more!), a brand new car, beach house,
swimming pool, yacht. A "proper job" for
writers like me, maybe !
3. Aim high: stretch yourself to your limit as well as you
will achieve more than you trusted possible. The
higher the level of informed goals, the greater their encouraging power.
4. Prioritise your own Goals. Start off with some easy goals
to get you in the 'habit of achieving'. Know where
you are now and how you got generally there. (" How the s...
did i buy where I am now?). Examine yourself and learn
from people. These goals must be compatible
with your inner values. Ideals are what we hold to
be important at the deepest degree of our being. Doing
this can make them far more likely to be achieved.

5. Set a time reduce for achieving them. It really is important
to set a deadline day...but it doesn't have to be "set in concrete". Don't let something continue for
three years that could happen to be achieved in one year. Established short-term goals: tomorrow, a
few weeks , next month. Also set prolonged range goals which will require
vision, courage and foresight. Lastly , set your
ultimate goals such as , becoming an All Black as well as Springbok
(these are rugby football players from New Zealand
and South Africa for "uninformed Americans"- oops, im or her ,
sorry!), a Judge, as well as some grand purpose, etc.... As
long as that is what you undoubtedly desire. List the steps
needed or smaller goals necessary to be achieved on
the path to your main goal. By breaking them
down they are going to seem more attainable as soon as each
minor goal is gained will bring you closer to the
ultimate target. List the skills, qualifications as well as traits
you will need to achieve these.
6. Be inspired: obtain regular inspiration and
enthusiasm by means of reading and other motivational
material (this way book- PLUG, PLUG). Also helpful is
frequent contact with someone or people who inspire
and enthuse you.

7. Focus on your goals like a laser and go after it every
day Don't be frustrated - sometimes "one step
backwards comes before a revolution ". "Dare to
be different to people ", if that is just being "the genuine "
YOU. Don't allow the future to act on you. Act on
the long term. Don't see yourself as a helpless victim
of circumstances, but rather as one having many
choices to take virtually any path you CHOOSE to move your
life forward. N.B. Goals should be written down and
regularly analyzed. This makes for focussing ones
thoughts and COMMITMENT in experiencing them through.
Write every goal on a list in addition to being you achieve it, tick it
off and enter a new target. Act immediately on your
short-term goals, as only activity will get you there.
Have stability in your dreams and be trustworthy and
realistic with yourself. A goal will be either meaningful in
itself as well as as a means to an end.
More Goal Tips
* Start 1st with your longer term goals as well as break
7/31/2019 How To Set And Accomplish Realistic And Effective (Sensible ) Goals
7/21
them down; if you focus on short term goals you
will end up with more of the same.
* concentrate first on the overall end result , not how you
will achieve the goal or you will limit yourself.then the amazing power of your imagination (in the form
of your subconscious head ) will come up with the plan on the way to achieve your goals. The
solution may come to you immediately as well as take a while... And then come to you throughout
unexpected moments, like in the shower. Usually at times when you are most relaxed.
* you shouldn't be obsessive about goals - don't fret, but permit them to happen, don't force these. (I
must earn that one as well as let "life take it really is course"!). "Easy does it" + persistence, ofcourse.
* become flexible and be aware of the unexpected, which
may be a stepping stone to your goal in disguise.
* Involve your spouse/partner/those "nearest and
dearest to you" throughout goal setting.Shared family goals
have more meaning and the resolve for achieving
them is greater.
THE SECRET IS TO VISUALISE your own GOALS
AS ALREADY BEING ACHIEVED
"We should all be concerned about visualising the
7/31/2019 How To Set And Accomplish Realistic And Effective (Sensible ) Goals
8/21
future, because we will have to spend the rest of
our lifestyles there."
- anon
Visualisation is the technique
used by prime sportspeople to achieve results.
Successful people make things happen and use the
process of Goal Setting. Consider whether you are
a goal-setter or goal-getter? You are not because stuck down
in a rut as you may think. You have far more choices
than you could ever envision.
GOALS - THE FIVE important QUESTIONS
"The important thing is to determine what you need
to do after which it DO IT!"
* Which?
What do you really want? Break down straight into needs
and wants, e.gary.. Yacht, pool, new car , beach house,
holiday. Also set tangible and intangible goals.
* Why?
7/31/2019 How To Set And Accomplish Realistic And Effective (Sensible ) Goals
9/21
If it is not planned, it doesn't take place.
* When?
Goals should have a time frame. Long array goals
should have checkpoints and also a completion date.
Who? goals involve others :
# company (the boss, manager)
# Personal (wife/husband/partner)
* precisely how ?
What is the blueprint? you can not build without plans.
The reason why you must have specific goals. Don't
Forget:
A. Involve people.
B. State goals when it comes to measurable results.
C. Established target dates.
D. Become specific.
Criteria for setting EFFECTIVE Goals
They:
7/31/2019 How To Set And Accomplish Realistic And Effective (Sensible ) Goals

GOAL DESIGN
1. ITEMISE
- list possible goals
- don't analyse only at that stage
7/31/2019 How To Set And Accomplish Realistic And Effective (Sensible ) Goals
11/21
2. CATEGORISE
- personal/family/work (use headings from
the Wheel associated with Life).
3. PRIORITISE
- relate with what you value and rank.
4. CRYSTALLISE
- make specific and clear, use the make out principle ("keep
it simple, stupid "). Oops, sorry my dear reader!
Remember that goals are dreams which come true.
Most people give up on their dreams too soon or,
like me in the past, don't aim high enough and
achieve them too very easily and quickly. Except in
writing!
N.B: The essence of goal setting is:
COMMITMENT
7/31/2019 How To Set And Accomplish Realistic And Effective (Sensible ) Goals
12/21
DISCIPLINE
DETERMINATION
I really believe that. This entire organizing process might
take a few days.
GOALS
1. If it's not in writing, it is not a goal. It is a New
Year solution.
2. If it's not specific , it's not a goal.
3. 'Goals must be believable, inspirational and
expandable'.
4. An effective goal is definitely an exciting challenge.
5. Goals must be adjusted to brand-new information.
6. Dynamic goals guide our choices.
7. Don't set short-term goals for longer than
ninety days.
8. Maintain a balance between long-term and
short-term goals.
9. Include your household in your goals.
10. Established goals in all areas of your daily life.
7/31/2019 How To Set And Accomplish Realistic And Effective (Sensible ) Goals
13/21
11. Your goals must harmonise with your life.
12. Review your goals regularly.
13. Set vivid goals.
14. Don't chisel your goals in granite/set in
concrete.
15. Reach out into the future.
16. Have a set of goals for every single day,
and review results every night.
17. Train yourself to crave your goals.
18. Set activity goals, not necessarily production goals
(salespeople).
19. Understand luck, and make that work
for you.
20. Begin immediately !
If you don't break your own yearly objectives down into
first quarterly and then monthly/weekly/daily activity
targets, you cannot keep on track. Convention runners
keep going not by focusing on the whole course,
but on the next drink train station , the bottom of the hill,
and when the pain comes, the next lamp post.

The programs we make to achieve the dreams are the
blueprints for fulfillment. A written plan focuses the
mind on goals. Intermediate steps move one step
by action closer to success.
You need to regularly review whether you are on
track (e.g.. Monthly, every quarter , yearly). Goal setting
must become an ongoing process. Goals that are no
longer meaningful must be exchanged by ones that are.
" the journey of a thousand miles starts with a single
step."
- Mao Tse Tung
I enjoy that one. No wonder I repeat that so often
(the first signs of impending
senility, perhaps???).
Mark Spitz, the American swimmer, won nothing at
the south america Olympics in 1968. Bitterly disappointed,
he dreamt of earning 7 goal medals in the next
Olympics in Munich throughout 1972 and set a focus on of the
7/31/2019 How To Set And Accomplish Realistic And Effective (Sensible ) Goals
15/21
times he would accomplish in each event. This individual won those
seven medals with times within 100th of your second
of what he had stated he would do. He designed his
plan and a rigorous education regime. His goal became
an obsession which overcame everything else...yet
Mark Spitz became the legend and achieved effectiveness.
Thomas Edison tried two thousand times to invent the light
bulb. He didn't visualize it as 2000 failures, however rather
as a process to be experienced. He didn't take it
personally, but saw his initiatives as 2000 ways that did
not work. Every time an idea don't work, it got Edison
a step closer to his best goal - SUCCESS. That will is
what kept him proceeding. In a word, PERSISTENCE.
Even countries have set goals. After being defeated
in world war ii , Germany was totally ravaged.
However, Germany is now one of many economic
giants of Europe. Yet another defeated nation, Japan,
which only had 0.three of the world's land as well as 3 of
the population is now offering 10 of the global business.
The nation's leaders established goals for these countries
7/31/2019 How To Set And Accomplish Realistic And Effective (Sensible ) Goals
16/21
after the war, which looked impossible at the time,
but had been achieved.
The motto: your investment mistakes of the past and
press on to the greater achievements of the future.
Remember that setting a new target is the first step
towards a good plan of action; because without
a target you have no target, nothing to aim for.
"Challenges are a chance to boost motivation, seize
them such as gold dust."
SUMMARY:
Set SMART goals
S - specific
M - measurable
A - achievable
R - realistic and
T- goals with a time-frame.
There is not more exciting and inspiring than
7/31/2019 How To Set And Accomplish Realistic And Effective (Sensible ) Goals
17/21
new goals. Our mindset to ourselves determines our
ability to set and achieve goals. Whatever your self-image,
you project it to other individuals and it becomes a
self-fulfilling prophecy.
With a positive attitude ( the main topic of the following
chapter) and a very good self image, our excitement for
challenges will be heightened, as well as for life in
general. This brings about greater job satisfaction, as
well as living an emotionally healthy life filled with
meaning and purpose.
Remember, bad attitudes in other people can
easily block your goals. I can't expect people to
understand just what I'm trying to achieve during my personal
goals; but I'm receiving there. Slowly! They are MINE
alone and I believe are right for ME! Raise your
sights substantial and dare to be different. In our society
we are conditioned to follow the leader. N.n : Follow
your own heart throughout setting your goals.
If you've set goals, however have had difficulty with your
7/31/2019 How To Set And Accomplish Realistic And Effective (Sensible ) Goals
18/21
goals in the last 3 months, it may be since of
the following:
1. Your own goals were not realistic.
2. Your goals were not apparent and specific.
3. Your goals were not written in the present tight.
E.g.. 'I have finally cleared all my short term debts
and I have saved X$ (as well as pounds')...'I now weigh
my ideal body weight of...i Well done "Jumbo"!
4. You weren't really committed to your own goals
and/or they were not suitable for you.
A final number of words of wisdom (even when I say so myself)
to end off this chapter...
WE GET WHAT WE EXPECT
DON'T ALLOW THE FUTURE TO ACT in YOU
ACT ON THE FUTURE as well as so
YOU CREATE YOUR DESTINY
