Goal Setting Check-up

How are you doing with your goals?

Do you check-in regularly to see if you’re moving closer to your goals? Do you give yourself pulse checks once a week to make sure you’re on track? Or, do you set a goal and forget it? If you’re like most of the people I coach I’m guessing you set and forget.

I learned a tip that changed my goal setting for the better and I’d like to pass it on to you. It’s simple and easy to do. It requires very little effort and there’s no reason why you can’t incorporate this into your day. After all it’ll only take a few seconds, or at most a minute. However, just because this tip is easy to do please don’t dismiss it. It can play a crucial part in the mental side of achievement. I’m not going to give you a long persuasive argument on the Law of Attraction. This is no big, secret. Actually It’s in part 7 of the CFL technique.

The tip is to rewrite your goals every day. That’s it. Just find a few seconds to rewrite your goals. If you ever had to write lines in school you know what to do here. Simply find a blank piece of paper and write out your 3-5 current goals. Then the next day do that again. Do it every day until that goal is achieved. If you’re into super achievement you could write your goals three times or more, but I’ll leave that up to you.

Why does this work? I honestly don’t know why. I guess it gets you to focus on what’s important rather than what’s urgent. Doing this just for a minute a day can have amazing results. It seems there is something to the power of focus. Putting our attention on where we want our life to go will have a dramatic impact.

Give it a try, I know you can find a minute a day.
