Signs Along the Road to Achievement
These basic precautions would keep us moving along safely, and help us arrive at our intended destinations on time. Remembering these simple golden rules of safe driving can also help with the achievement of other important objectives. Winners spend the majority of their time doing things that bring them closer to their goals. They stay on the intended path because their "hands are on the wheel." They make the most of each minute by staying engaged in actions of high priority. They accept help from others. However, they take ultimate responsibility for guiding themselves to their destination.

Avoid Goal Setting Pitfalls
In order to succeed with long term goal setting, then you need to be aware of the most common mistakes and pitfalls that can ruin your best-laid plans. Check your goals, and see where you may have hit a roadblock. It's easy to get plugged into a goal, and even though it's not working, you hang on to it out of sheer habit or willfulness. That sets you up for procrastination and frustration. Rethink the goal by concentrating on the big picture " the direction you want your life to go -- instead of the specific way to get there.

To be a goal setter, and more importantly a goal achiever, you not only have to have a written set of goals for you life (business and/or personal), but, you also have to have a written plan of action towards their achievement.

In other words, you asked for it you got it, Goal setting 101.

Where Greatness Begins!
When making a decision one should remember that it is your life, not anybody else's. So whatever decision you make should be based on what you think is the best decision, not on what others want. At the time the decision is taken it may not seem the right decision for others. In fact, the greatest success stories of our time were started by unpopular decisions. I know it is difficult when you look up from where you are right now to where these icons are. All you see is this big gap and you become discouraged. The key here is to set yourself short term goals that are within reach.

What's on Your Shift List?
A Shift List is simply a list of activities and attitudes that have the power to shift you from feeling blue to feeling new. Your Shift List is any way you devise to remind yourself of the actions that have the power to transform your mood and put you back on a roll. Your reminders might be a formal written list or journal, a set of well-placed post-its or notes, pictures or photos, cartoons or symbols, poems or songs-or a phone or email "shift" partner. When your aliveness begins to fade, you can consult your "list" to trigger actions that will get you back on track and into the Zone!

Are You Going Where You Want to Go?
Certain goals have been the focus of your attention over the past 4 months, and you have conducted some 'experiments' with these goals. Before revising your action plans, you will want to know if your goals are still meaningful. By answering the following questions, you can refine, modify, add, or eliminate goals to renew your momentum and excitement about achievement.
Is each goal still important and meaningful to me? Why or why not? Does each goal align with my values? Am I excited about each goal? Are there any goals that I want to achieve primarily for someone else? Based on my results so far, how can I modify a goal to be more clear, specific, and achievable? Do I need to break a goal into smaller goals? Is there an area of my life or career that lacks meaningful goals? Using the answers to these questions, take the time to rewrite your goals in a way that is purposeful, useful, and visible to you on a daily basis.
