Goals Create A Roadmap For Success

On the success journey, the first part of the trip is just as important as the last part. Think with me for just a moment – what separates motivated people from all others? The answer is they have goals! They identify what they want to accomplish to fulfill their purpose and maximise their potential. The goals that you set become your roadmap for life’s journey.

Consider these five insights about the power of goal setting
Goals draw out your sense of purpose – It has been suggested that 50% do not pay attention to their direction, 40% do not even know where to start, and only 10% know what they want and how to get it.

Goals give you “GO” – Industrialist Andrew Carnegie stated once; “You cannot push anyone up the ladder unless he is willing to climb himself.”

Goals show you what to do – All of the motivation in the world is useless if it’s wasted on things that do not matter.

Goals get you focused on improvement not activity – Stop clinging to the idea that success is a destination rather than a journey. The key to fully reaching your potential is to continually improve yourself.

Goals create mile markers – Goals not only give direction, but they help you to see progress.

The Success Process

• Your dream determines your goals
• Your goals determine your actions
• Your actions create results
• Results bring you success

Use this process as a worksheet to assist putting your thoughts to paper to visually see your thoughts. This will help you refine them, make adjustments, and plan your journey more effectively.
