How to set up goals effectively?

With our goals we design our future. Your life isn´t random unless you let it to be. You must take control of your destiny by designing your future. You must plan your goals at least two times a year, but I suggest four!

1. STEP: Write down all goals you want to achieve within 20 years: 1. personal development goals (relationships, health, growth ect.), 2. material goals, 3. economic goals. You have one minute for each area and write as many goals as you can in this time.

2. STEP: When you´ve wrote down goals in all three areas then mark after each goal, in how many years you´ve committed to achieve this specific goal: 1, 5, 10, 15, or 20.

3. STEP: Now circle the three most important goals in all three areas that you´ve committed to achieve in one year or less: personal development, material and economic. So, you should have nine goals for upcoming year. Are your goals compelling? If not then come up with new, more stirring goals.

4. STEP: Write down after each goal, WHY you must absolutely accomplish this goal. Remember: PURPOSE IS STRONGER THAN OUTCOME! You have to know why you want this specific goals: how it will make me feel.

5. STEP: Work on strategy and take the first step!
