Happy Motivated Monday! Oh yes! The summer has started and the grills are going. The kids are out of school and the fun begins. But aside from the fun, I’m sure you still have many goals to knock out. These goals could be fitness goals, business goals, or personal. None the less, these goals must be accomplished on time.
Now, there’s a few elements that go into making sure you’re on track to complete your goals. Let’s get into it.
SMART goals.
You have to create smart goals. These are goals that are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely. This is so important because this is what makes it real. It adds pressure.
Write them down.
Don’t just fantasize about your goals. Actually put pen to paper and write them down. I can’t stress how important it is to see your dreams on paper.
Make your goals visible.
Print out your favorite car. Create a vision board and fill it with ideas that match your goals. Visualize the lifestyle you want to see and do it often.
Break it down and Develop a plan.
No one becomes successful overnight. No be real with yourself. Break your goals down into objectives and execute the plan step by step.
Take action.
Don’t sit around. Do something. Even if you don’t know where to start, start somewhere!
Keep perspective.
Never corner yourself in and beat yourself up. Keep an open mind for when things don’t work out as planned. Breathe and be mindful always.
Identify potential obstacles.
Contemplate on the many things that could could wrong just because they might. Know it ahead of time so that if it happens, you’re not so disappointed and instead you’re learning. Always be real with yourself.
Find a Mentor.
Develop relationships with people that can help you. They can get you to your goal faster than you would alone. Never be too prideful to ask for help but be sure to lead with value. Don’t waste their time.
Of course there’s a lot more that could be added to the list as your knock out your greatest goals, but it’s also important for you to always do your research. Educate yourself along the way with any journey. Never give up on yourself, even when things get hard.
Always remember, your dreams were made to exist!
