6 Easy Steps To Accomplishing Your Goals


We all set goals -  big goals and small goals.  But those that actually reach their destination, are very few and far between.  If you are serious about accomplishing your goals, follow these six easy steps and you will succeed.


1. Just Get Started. 

There will always be excuses and reasons why you can’t get started now.  You can’t wait for perfect timing.   It will never come.  You need to get over the mountain that is on your path.  If you can do that, you will find the highway.  You need to make the choice and go beyond your insecurities.  Once you get moving, the momentum will keep you going and you will be better able to jump any unexpected hurdle.

2. Do one thing at a time.
  
I have always lived with the belief that I could do anything and everything.  That is a good attitude to have, especially if you are not arrogant, but have a humble confidence.  If to really look at things, I must admit that I cannot do everything all at once!  Juggling doesn’t get things done faster.  If I focus on one thing at a time, finish it and then move one to the next, I can accomplish much more and the quality of what I do is incredibly higher.

3. Forget your failure.  
 
We all fail!  Failure is inevitable.  We will never taste success without ever experiencing failure.  When you really accept this, you will not worry as much.  Anticipate failure and learn from it; then move on.  Embrace the hunger to succeed.  This is will pick you up when you fall and help you to tenaciously push through anything.

4. Be consistent.  
 
Consistency is the key to keeping your momentum going and accomplishing your goals.  Once you stop, it is much harder to get started again.  This is hard work, but it pays off.  You will become what you do repeatedly.  Aristotle once said. “Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”  Develop habits and stick with them.  Habits are boring, but they create success.

5. Choose carefully with whom you spend your time. 

The people you spend the most time with on a daily basis will directly influence who you are and what you become.  If you choose wisely and have friends that not only encourage you, but also hold you accountable, you will be much better off. Be around people you want to be like.  Spend time with people who challenge you to become more.  Rub shoulders with the people you want to rub off on you.

6. Make and follow a plan.
 
Once we have a plan on paper, we no longer need to wonder what we should to do to get started.  This takes the decision making process out of equation and leaves us more time to do what we already determined needs to be done. I heard it said that on average an adult makes roughly 35,000 decisions a day. We need as much mental room as we can get!  Make a plan, set your steps and then just follow them.

These are very basic and easy steps to follow to get you from point A to point B and help you to accomplish your goals.  The question is, are you willing to just do it?
