How to Take Charge of Your Life: 5 Goal-Setting Tips You Must Master
Once you decide where you want to be in the future, it is easier to get there without going back and forth and running around. Even the Bible has mentioned that Where there is no vision, the people perish.
Hi everyone, This is Grace Wang from myhappychoice.com. In today‘s video, I am going to share with you another aspect of becoming financially free. It is goal setting.
I can talk about goal setting for hours. Do you know why? Because I am really passionate about this topic of goal setting. I have been learning about goal setting for quite a long time and I have been focusing on goal setting for almost two years now.
Once I have a clear goal in every area of my life, such as financial goals, health goals, relationship goals, business goals, personal development goals, and spiritual goals. My life has transformed from uncertainty, fogginess, and doubt to becoming confident, happy, and enthusiastic about what I am doing every day.
Finally, I came up with these 5 powerful tips to share with you today. If you follow these steps, you can achieve your goals 10 times faster than before.
First of all, having a vision
If you want to achieve anything in life, you must have a vision first. A vision is a mental picture of the outcome you want to have in life. It is your desire for your future. This mental picture must be big, clear, and exciting.
A vision is not a fuzzy wish or hope. It’s a picture of the clear reality of the future. That’s how our technology came to life, for us to enjoy today. They started from someone’s vision inside their minds, like Edison, Tesla, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, and many many more.
Second, you need to know your big why.
Whatever you want and desire in life, you have to come out with your big reasons. They can pull you through any challenges that are in your way. Ask yourself this question over and over again until you know exactly why you want to have what you want.
For instance, Why do I want to achieve financial freedom so badly? One of the biggest reasons is my painful experiences with financial struggles in the past.
Many years ago, before my mother passed away, she never had a chance to get a visa to visit my family here in America. She never saw my two sons who were born here. My business was struggling at the time, I did not have a substantial salary to sponsor her and she did not have any properties or enough savings under her name. She was denied twice interviewing for an American visa before she was getting sick.
This painful experience has become one of the biggest reasons for me to be financially free. I do not want to have to face it again and I will never want to experience it for myself, my sons, and the people who I am coaching right now, including you, who are watching my free teachings on this channel.
I have learned from Brian Tracy that you have to have 100 reasons behind your vision. If you know why you want to achieve your goals, you will become motivated and unstoppable. You do not have to rely on anyone for motivation and inspiration.
Third, you need to have a specific road map on a daily basis.
I also call it my road map for a day, or action plan on a daily basis.
There is no way you can hit your target right on if you can not see it. You must know exactly what you need to do today in order to achieve your ultimate goals in a week, a month, a year, or five years.
For instance, I am coaching writers and entrepreneurs to become bestselling authors on Amazon in three months. From day one, we will develop a road map to follow. In my opinion, the bestselling author ranking is much more powerful than getting a college degree. It can open up many exciting doors to bring nearly unlimited opportunities for your future.
Fourth, you have to write and rewrite your goals every day on paper
Up until now, we have replaced our limiting beliefs about money with the right mindset. We have created the right relationship with money.
We now understand that Money is simply a tool. It can help us live a life we desire and enjoy.
It is not the root of all evil. Poor people do bad things as well. It is not the reason that people are corrupt. We all can be happy and rich in our lifetime if this is something you want to achieve for the next few years.
Before you go on a trip, you need a road map to help you get to your destination safely and fast. Your life needs to have a road map to help achieve your financial goals as well.
Before setting your goals, you also need to do a check-up for yourself. Ask yourself, what is my passion? What’s my genius area? What are my talents? Your passion and your genius area will become your superpower. You start off at your peak level and you have a much higher chance to achieve any goals you can set your mind to.
Fifth, Make yourself a winner every day
How to make yourself feel good, at the end of the day, you know you did your best, you keep the agreement with yourself?
You said you are going to drink more water, you did it.
You want to exercise for 30 minutes, you did it.
You want to write in your gratitude journal, you did.
You want to work on your website, you did it.
You want to work on your sales to call your potential customers, you did it.
You can call yourself a winner of the day. You will feel good about yourself. You feel fulfilled and The mission has accomplished, Your self-confidence will skyrocket.
