Set Specific Goals - In order to be successful at achieving higher levels of success, identify specific goals in your life. You will achieve what you design and map out. Setting clear guidelines for reaching a particular goal is equally as important as being specific in writing out the goal itself. Moving towards a goal, is living a life with purpose.

Less than 5% of the population have taken the time to write down their goals, by partaking in this task you will propel yourself into a position of advantage for reaching your objectives. You are actually preparing yourself to produce a desired result, by doing what most will not. Whatever you focus on you increase and move towards. Now is the time to embark on your success journey. Writing your goals down is a crucial step to help you manifest your ideas.

6 Goal Setting Reminders

1. Identify your goals - What are you passionate about in life? Think of short, mid and long range goals you would like to achieve.

2. Write them down - This is a simple yet overlooked exercise. Less than 5 out of 100 people will put this step in action.

3. Know why you should reach these goals - When your why to is big enough, your how to becomes much easier.

4. Build action steps to the goals you have listed - Identify what you can do today that will advance you towards your goal.

5. Set time targets - A goal without a deadline is merely a dream.

6. Fuel your journey - Use motivation and visualization tools, such as books and tapes to stimulate your progress.
