How to Achieve My Goals in 3 Easy Steps

Do you have a goal or target that have been shoved into the background because you are too busy? Perhaps it is so big that we don't know where to start?

We all have goals or targets that we're working on at various times of our lives, whether these are ones we've created for ourselves, or ones which have been given us by others.

Sometimes we work on them in a very disciplined way, other times we don't give them much thought from one day to the next. This exercise will help you identify the small steps you can take which will take you forward on your goal and by the end of one week I guarantee you'll have made some meaningful progress in the areas you need.

Firstly, Identify a goal or target you're working on - e.g:

- To hit (x) sales by the end of the month
- To design a new process/programme/event
- To establish 3 new clients by March

Your Fired Up Action This Week:

- On a piece of A4 paper, write in bold letters: "What needs to happen for me to (insert your goal)? Simply writing the goal isn't enough - you have to write the "What needs to happen" beforehand, as this is the part of the question that will really get your brain working behind the scenes

- Stick the paper up somewhere near your working area, or somewhere where you're going to see it every day - on the cupboard door where you keep your coffee, by the side of your PC, on your wall - anywhere where it's going to be regularly in your view

- Each time you look at the paper, the question will register subconsciously in your brain and "incubate". You'll soon start to notice small steps or ideas you could take that will help you move forward on your goal. For every idea you think of, write it down straight away on a sticky note and put it on your paper. By the end of the week, you'll have a whole host of steps, ideas and inspiration written down on your sticky notes - all you've got to do now is to action them - and reward yourself when you've moved substantially nearer your goal!
