Goals, Determination, and Focus!
To achieve we need to set goals. Many people strive to reach their goals within a set time frame. Wikipedia offers this definition of goals http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objective_(goal)#Personal_goals.
If I were to make a goal to acquire a good part-time income from my blogs and article writing what would my goal look like. My mission statement might look like this: I want to focus on my article writing for Triond and Associated Content. I also want to find a way to drive traffic to my blogs and get paid for the 1000 clicks that I need to get in order to get paid from AdSense and entrecard, etc. within the next 3 months.
Here I have made a definite statement and time frame. It does not matter that the time frame is not feasible or I can’t accomplish my entire goal in such a short time. If I need to I can always go back and revisit my goal and make changes where necessary.
To attain success with our goals we need to use determination and focus. Merriam-Webster dictionary offers this definition of determination http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/determination. So if I have set a goal and have decided firmly what I want to accomplish I should be successful in my endeavours. Yes I may need to take another look at my goal at some point in time and determine if I need to rework it, but at least I will have been working toward something in the end.
So true. Once you have a plan of action the next step is to actually act. I think too many times we forget that we must do something in order to achieve our goals.
Thank you for reading my blog. Have a great day!
