High performers do things that produce results.

Goal setting:
1. They guide and direct our behavior
2. They give us focus which gives us clarity.
3. They give us hope. Hope brings out the best in us.
4. They cause us to organize ourselves and our resources.
5. They help bring us to the next level.

A goal is anything you want to do, be, have, or achieve.

Do we have to write them down or put them into the goal sheet each day? What if we don't? First off, are we doing well hitting our goals in life without doing them? If we are (which most aren't) then imagine how much better we would do if we wrote them down. Goal setting programs our subconscious mind.

In our society there are no unrealistic goals only unrealistic time frames for achieving those goals. We need a reasonable time frame.

We have a present self image at this very moment. We also have a projected self image of where we will be in the future. What we need is a great, exciting projected self image. We get the passion to make things happen when we know that our present self image is not where our projected self image is.

If you are casual about these processes you are going to produce casual results. 

We need to focus on what has to be done today in the short term in order to start moving towards our long term goal and projected self image.

Let's look at where we are in each of these areas. To be well rounded you should have goals in various areas: career (how many free sign-ups, how many paid sites), physical (exercise), spiritual (study, prayer, meditation), education (how long we study each day), family (time, attention), finances (paying off debts, savings, net-worth), community (time, money), and social (hobbies, clubs, organizations).

Now that we know where we are and where we would like to be, what is our projected self image in each of these areas?

What would you try in your life if you knew you would not fail? Let's grow to the next level and then anything is possible.
