How To Ensure You Achieve Your Set Goals

By Wase Larry

A lot of us have learnt the importance of setting goals from the different motivational and human resource information at our disposal. It is very good to learn goal setting. 

Goal setting however, is not an end in itself. It is no use setting goals you are not motivated to achieve. It is the achievement of set goals that produces success.Examine your goals and make sure that they are truly reasonable.  Look around for resources that could help you towards their attainment.

The first thing is not to set goals frivolously. Don’t just set goals for the sake of the exercise. Let the goals you set be targets that you truly have a deep desire to accomplish. Let the desire be truly yours and not a borrowed desire.

This might not work for all goals. Some goals are set for you in your office or by the nature of your business. With this kind of goals you need to write down the consequences of achieving those goals. This serves as a form of motivation to keep you taking action towards the goals.

You are more motivated to achieve desires that are truly yours. Find strong enough reasons for achieving each goal and write them down beside the goals. Each time you look at your goals, you will see the reasons, the purpose for which they have to be achieved.

Take an action of commitment at the point of writing your goals.  Find someone that will act as your evaluator. When you have someone you report to, it becomes easier to be motivated to work on your goals.

Continuous Learning It Important To Continuous Success

By Wase Larry
                       
Success has been rightly defined as the continuous achievement of set goals. Success therefore is dynamic.  We live in a time were changes occur at very fast rates. New discoveries are being made and new knowledge keeps coming up. To continue to succeed, you need to continue to have new knowledge in our ever rapidly changing world.

Successful people aim to succeed now and to continue to succeed in the future. This therefore means they have to continue to learn. If you have decided to be amongst those that will keep succeeding then you too have to keep on learning.

Your education shouldn’t and must not stop at whatever level you are. You have to add more knowledge to what you know now. Continuous learning means continuous improvement in your ability to produce results and deliver success in your business, career or family.

Continuous learning will keep you ahead of competition. You will be able to keep up with the rapidly changing trends of our times. You will be able to position yourself more strategically to harness the opportunities brought by change.

Knowledge is power and knowledge is wealth. When you are known to be a knowledgeable person, a demand for your knowledge will be created in your field of specialization. You will become an in-demand speaker at seminars and conferences.

How do you go about continuous learning? Start by reading. Read something new everyday. You could also refresh what you have learned before. Read magazines, journals etc. Listen to informative programs on the TV or Radio. When something is mentioned that is new or you don’t know much about, note it and find time to know more about it later.

You could also enroll for update courses in your profession once every 2 or 3 years. This keeps you abreast of the new qualifications and certifications.

Online business is becoming more popular these days. A lot of people have tried to succeed online without much success.  It is possible to succeed online if you follow the advice I will be sharing in this article. I have done it and so can you, but you have to work at it.


Have the right mindset. Most people that start online business came through the 'get rich quick' or 'make millions overnight’ highway. The inevitable thing is that they end up falling for scams, lose their money and become discouraged with online business.

Online business is exactly what it is and that is how you should see it. Remove from your mind all the get rich without lifting a finger speech you have heard. It does not happen that way. The only people that get rich overnight are the scammers that take your money.

Having said that, how do you succeed online? You succeed online by seeing it as a business. Internet business needs a time of learning and a time of application and also a time of growth.

Look for reputable and experienced people to learn from. These should be people with genuine proof of success in their online business. Take your time to learn from them. Develop a system to star t and run your online business with. This way you are building a foundation of success online.

Apply all you learn from your mentor and keep learning. Do not follow the so called quicker b lack hat methods. They will only succeed in putting you in trouble. Stay with approved methods and you will have no regrets.

By Wase Larry

Everybody wants success whatever the station they are in life. Success does not just come by happenstance. All successful people have some things in common. These things cut across success in all areas of life. Knowing how to handle these things will help you greatly in the achievement of success in your life. The following are the resources you cannot do without to make it in life.

Awareness of wealth
A mentality of abundance is important for success in life. No man is entirely without any resources in life. Knowing and appreciating the wealth that you have is the beginning of success. You might not have money, but you might be knowledgeable. You might not be greatly educated but you might be a people person. Look into your life and see the wealth that you have. That is the place to start in your quest for success.

Understanding
This is the ability to know the value of resources and opportunities at your disposal. It could be further said to be the ability to read the times. Understanding helps you to know how things relate -how they fit together. It takes understanding to know the trends. To know the direction an area of life is moving in your society so that you can properly position yourself.

Courage
The ability to step out into the unknown can not be overemphasized. To be successful, you have to often leave your comfort zone and step into places you have not been before. This is courage. You have to be able to stand for your beliefs when others are afraid. You have to be able to push ahead when all odds seem to be against you.

Belief
Faith is important to every successful endeavor in life. Belief is not just in yourself though it starts with you. You have to believe in people because you can't succeed alone. You have to believe that things will work out for the best. This is what will help you to have the right attitude towards your pursuit everyday.
