Success Strategy 4: Goal SettingAs a teacher I know you have a lot of experience setting goals - goals for your certification, yearly goals, goals for your students, etc. The goals you will write here are for you, to make your life richer, to help you realize all that you want in life. This will help you on your path to riches and hopefully achieving balance in your life.
This is what Brian Tracy says in his book Goals (2004):
"Success is goals, and all else is commentary. All successful people are intensely goal oriented. They know what they want and they are focused single-mindedly on achieving it, every single day. Your ability to set goals is the master skill of success. Goals unlock your positive mind and release ideas and energy for goal attainment. Without goals, you simply drift and flow on the currents of life. With goals you fly like an arrow, straight and true to your target."
Next, think about where you want to be in all of the seven key life areas five years from now. Still working backward, identify three goals in each area that you want to achieve over the next year. Be as specific as you can, how much, by when. When defining your goals, think about what really matters most to you. It is your desire to achieve your goals, what matters most, that will move you toward success. Don't worry about the "how" of your goals yet. Once you have defined your goals, your mind will start to work night and day to achieve it. Your mind will start to work out the "how." Now that you have identified and set your goals you are ready to move on to learning how to achieve those goals. You will
create a project plan for achieving the goals
you want to work on first.
