What are Goals?

From the desk of Karlton Bryan

We've all heard about the power of setting goals. Everyone has surely seen statistics that connect goal setting to success in both your business life, and your personal life. I'm sure if I asked you today what your goals are, you could rattle off a few wants and hopes without thinking to long.

However, what most people do not realize is that the power of goal setting lies in writing goals down. Committing goals to paper and reviewing them regularly gives you a 95% higher chance of achieving your desired outcomes. Studies have shown that only three to five percent of people in the world have written goals - the same three to five percent who have achieve success in business and earn considerable wealth.

These studies have also found that by retirement, only four per cent of people in the world will have enough accumulated wealth to maintain their income level, and quality of life. As a business owner, it is essential that you develop a plan for your retirement. It is equally essential that you develop a plan for your success.

not what you start!"Karlton Bryan, CEO, Author, Public Speaker
  • Goals are clear targets that are attached to a specific time frame and action plan; they focus your efforts, and drive your motivation in a clear direction. They help focus our time and energy on one (or several) key outcome at a time.
  • Goals are different from dreams in that they outline a plan of action, while dreams are a conceptual vision of your wish or desired outcome.
  • Goals are more effective when you commit them to paper. It is not the size of the goal that matters; what matters is that you write the goal down and commit to making the effort required to achieve it.
  • SMART goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Timely.
  • Positive thinking and healthy self-talk are the most important business tools you can ever cultivate; by programming a positive stream of subconscious thoughts into your mind, you can control your reality, and ultimately your goals.
  • Autosuggestion is the practice of positive thinking and positive affirmation, used by many of the world's top business and sports individuals.
  • Visualization is exactly what it sounds like: repeatedly visualizing how something is going to happen in your mind's eye. Nearly everyone in sports practices this technique. It has been proven to enhance performance better than practice alone.
