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.
