Seven Critical Keys to Goal Setting - by David Riklan.
This
series will directly assist you with your primary task:
TO IMPROVE YOUR LIFE!
1. WHO WROTE THIS SERIES?
My name is
David Riklan, and I am the President and Co-Founder of
SelfGrowth.com -the Internet Self Improvement Portal-and the
author of the new Self Improvement Encyclopedia, "Self
Improvement: The Top 101 Experts That Help Improve Our Lives."
2. WHY DID I WRITE THIS SERIES?
Everybody
that I speak to wants to improve their life, but many of them
are faced with the same questions:
A. What is
the best way to start improving my life?
B. What are
the best resources for me?
C. Which
book should I read first?
D. Which
seminar should I go to?
E. Should I
listen to an audio program from my car?
F. What is
the best website to go to?
This FREE
6-Part series is designed to help you answer these questions.
3.
SO, WHAT DO WE DO NOW?
Napoleon
Hill said that "Desire Is the Starting Point of All
Achievement." Do you have the desire? If you are reading this,
you hopefully have at least some "Desire" to change. Hopefully,
lots of desire!
4. You
need to start by asking yourself: "What is it that I want?
What exactly do
I want?" Or for some people: "What don't I want?"
This is a crucial question and the perfect starting point for finding the
resources that you need.
5. WAIT A
MINUTE: Maybe, you don't know what you want. Maybe, you have
no idea what you want.
If you think that you fit into this category, I want to tell you that you
are ABSOLUTELY wrong.
What you
want might not be very specific yet, but I'm sure there is
something there.
YOU MIGHT WANT TO SIMPLY CHANGE.
YOU
MIGHT WANT TO FIND OUT WHAT YOU REALLY WANT.
YOU
MIGHT WANT TO BE HAPPY.
YOU MIGHT JUST WANT A BETTER LIFE.
YOU
MIGHT WANT TO FIND OUT YOUR LIFE'S PURPOSE.
No
matter how general or how specific this is, you need to start
somewhere.
YOU HAVE TO START TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION: WHAT DO YOU WANT?
***STEP #1: Figuring Out What You Want
Suggestions for Step 1:
1. Become
clear on what it is you want for your life. Ask yourself
three
questions:
A. What do I
have that I want? This helps you appreciate your current life.
(i.e.-good education, close friends, health, home) B. What do I
have or tolerate that I don't want? These things detract from
your happiness. (i.e.-large debts, abusive friends, dead end
job) C. What don't I have that I want? This will greatly improve
the quality of your life. (i.e.-more confidence, closer friends,
more money in the bank)
2. Ask your
friends and co-workers what they want. This might help
you
generate some ideas.
3. Write
down a complete list of possible things that you want.
You
can call it brainstorming or idea generation. Nothing is too
silly.
Nothing is too
ridiculous. Just write it down. Save your criticism and
evaluation for later. Write whatever comes to your mind.
4. When
answering these questions, think in terms of your home.
life,
your family life, your career, your health, your social life,
your physique, your hobbies, your community, your world, and
just about anything else that comes to mind.
5. Go BIG!
What are your life dreams? Do you know what your ideal
life
would be like?
6. Make sure
to write it all down and try to be as specific as
possible.
7. Review
and prioritize. The next step is to review all of your
goals
and prioritize them. Decide what is really important to you and
what you really want to achieve.
After you
have completed Step 1, Part 2: Self Improvement 101: The 62
Essential Truths about Improving Your Life will be emailed to
you.
