3 PROVEN STRATEGIES TO ACHIEVE YOUR DREAMS IN THIS MELTDOWN

Don't let your goals and resolutions fall by the wayside. Chances are that to achieve your dreams and live a life you love, those goals and resolutions are crucial. Goal setting and goal achievement are easier if you follow these three steps for effective and successful goal setting and resolution accomplishment.
.... You need to deeply desire the goal or resolution. Napoleon Hill, in his landmark book, Think and Grow Rich, had it right. "The starting point of all achievement is desire. Weak desires bring weak results, just as a small amount of fire makes a small amount of heat." So, your first step in goal setting and achieving your dreams is that you've got to really, really want to achieve the goal.
.... Visualize yourself achieving the goal. "The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind." says Lee Iacocca .What will your achievement feel like? How will your life unfold differently as a result? If the goal is a thing, some gurus of goal setting propose that you keep a picture of the item where you see and are reminded of it every day. If you can’t picture yourself achieving the goal, chances are – you won’t.
.... Make a plan for the path you need to follow to accomplish the goal. Create action steps to follow. Identify a critical path. The critical path defines the key accomplishments along the way, the most important steps that must take place for the goal to become a reality. Stephen Covey said, "All things are created twice. There's a mental or first creation, and a physical or second creation of all things. You have to make sure that the blueprint, the first creation, is really what you want, that you've thought everything through. Then you put it into bricks and mortar. Each day you go to the construction tool shed and pull out the blueprint to get marching orders for the day. You begin with the end in mind." He's right. COME BACK FOR THE NEXT 3 POINTS.
