It has been 3 weeks since my last blog. How time flies! I was pre-occupied with my training, outdoor activities and my network marketing business. It was such a roller coster ride during this period, but it was a good “stress” for me. I’m taking a break at this moment. No training whatsoever. I’m using this quality breaks to be with my love ones.

I bought a couple of books for my children and myself. At this moment, I’m reviewing what I’ve done for 2009 – wondering whether I have achieved my goals for the year. About 50% of what I’ve planned were actually achieved. As for the remainder of 50%, I will bring it forward as part of my goals for 2010. Btw, If you are planning your goals for next year, please do not forget to review what you’ve done for this year. Go out there, have your own quality time, and just do it.

Hope the followings will help you in planning your goals.

One of the golden rules of setting a goal is to set goal that can make you panic or comfortable. In doing this, you will be well-prepared to go for it. If you set a goal within your comfort zone, studies have shown that you will take it very lightly to the extend that you will not actually pay attention to it. So, set a goal that requires you to either “do or die mission”.

Identify short and long term goals. Turn them into dreams where you can actually visualize it.

Your goals must be your own and personal and not something which sounds good and dictated by others! I personally experienced this situation. Your goals must be genuine according to what you want to do in life, what you are willing to do to change your life, how you are going to do it in order to achieve.

There are many methods on how to plan your goals. One of the most powerful that I’ve ever applied, is the SMART methods. It’s not only powerful, but easily executed.

S – Your goals must be specific. You must be clear of what you want to do. Know your positioning in whatever you’re doing.
M – Your goals must be measurable. Take sometimes to do projections as they are vital in achieving your goals.
A – Take action. List out all the action plans towards achieving your goals and desire.
R – Goals must be realistic! It should be truthful and personal to yourself.
T – Time Conscious. Setting timeline is very important in making sure that you go as planned. What you can do is to gather the courage to give pressure to yourselves.

Focus on the objectives of your goals. Always check yourselves.

Having someone to check on your goals is good and encourage. Having a good mentor will benefit you as he or she will help to check on your progress. If one of your goals are to become a good leader, then a mentor is one of the tools that you need.

That’s all for tonight and hope that it will benefit you in planning your goals. Again, do not forget to review your current goals.

Talk soon,
