The 11 Steps that take you to your Goal

Here are the 11 things you must go through to consistently hit your performance targets
=================================================================

Hi there

Goal setting: Many talk about it, some theorise about it, many think they do it but few nail it.

It’s the easiest concept to take on board in the work I do with you but the hardest to implement effectively in a useful day-to-day way.

Here then are 11 things you can do to set effective goals and hit your performance targets:

1 – Write your goal in a very specific way

2 – Write your goal in the present tense

3 – Write down what you will avoid by achieving this goal

4 – Write down what you will enjoy by achieving this goal

5 – Take a reality check – objectively, where are you at now with this goal? Write this down

6 – What’s going to get in your way? Write this down

7 – How do you reckon you’ll clear these obstacles? Write this down

This can be unspecific. Yours is not to reason how with this goal just yet, only to reason what, why and when.

8 – Write down what rewards you will give yourself when you’re half-way there and when you achieve your goal

9 – Write down what you’re committing to start doing and continue doing, towards this goal

10 – Own your goal. Sign and date the document that includes everything you’ve written above.

11 – Print off your goal and display it somewhere prominent and private.


* The Mindset for Racing Finish Line *

There’s a lot of writing in there, isn’t there?! You bet. Writing helps program your mind and that’s part of what quality goal setting will do for you.

High achieving racers are goal setting machines. They’re focussed but not obsessive and always maintain a sense of child-like fun in their racing, training and testing.

You know what the top guys do and what you should be doing, don’t you?
