Success - Planning The Key To Achieving Your Goals

If you want to be successful you need to plan for it. If you do it will more than likely happen, if you don't chances are luck will not come your way.

It may but don't leave success to chance, take action.

Fact is most people don't know how to plan properly and they don't ever know how to execute it for success and this is what this article is about.

Let's find out what makes a good plan

1. Be Realistic

As the old proverb goes "each journey begins with one simple step" and this is true when starting out on the road to success. Make your initial goals realistic and achievable.

2. Decide exactly what your goals are and how to achieve them

You of course need to decide exactly what you want to achieve and how you are going to do it, in simple set steps.

Leading on from the above match each goal with an exact plan on how to get to short term goals that ultimately will lead to your long term goal.

3. Do Not put anything off

Have you ever wondered why some people seem to achieve an incredible amount in a short time and always seem to be dynamic and organized?

Well, it's not that there smarter than you but they know that to be succesful you don't put anything off.

If you take action as quickly as possible and do tasks as soon as they occur, you will have a clearer mind and be able to focus better.

Even if the task is unpleasant, you know you have to do it sometime, so get rid of it and forget about it.

4. Don't Multi Task

Whatever goal you are trying to achieve don't multi task to much and this leads on from point 3.

If you are studying for a degree, have set times where that is all you do.

Don't try and study, take calls, or be writing out a utility bill at the same time!

If you focus on one task and give it your full concentration your time will be much better spent.

5. Reward yourself along the way

On your goals as you reach them treat yourself.

It can be anything you like, but if you have achieved something spend some money on yourself, or spend quality time doing things you really enjoy that keep you motivated.

6. Assess your progress

After each short term goal achieved assess your progress.

If you are finding your plan is a little to easy make it a bit harder and vice versa.

Your plan should be comfortable but not to comfortable.

7. Dream a bit

Visualise what it will be like when you achieve the success you desire and try and read a few motivational books on the subject to keep you focused and motivated.

The real key to planning for success is for it to be realistic in your goals so you don't get de motivated, or start to fail.

You also need to keep a fresh mind and take decisive action on all tasks, not just in your plan for success but in other areas of life that can distract you.

Finally, always remember do not multi task to much, allocate time for tasks and do only them and always try and be focused on one thing only. The task will then be achieved much quicker and your ultimate goal of success will come sooner than you think.
