Achieving Goals

Success Breeds Success

Welcome to the Achieving Goals page. This web site is about setting and achieving personal goals. To see more goals articles please go to our achieve your personal goals or setting goals pages.

Reaching a goal feels great! But missing your target can be demotivating. Not only that, success breeds success - but if you're not careful, perceived failure breeds further perceived failure.

That way, as you reach one small goal after another, you can see yourself becoming an achiever day by day.

Not only can you see it, you come to know it.

This is the principle of BE - DO - GET.

The simplest way to achieve a goal is to become the sort of person who does just that. Once you become that person, you are more likely to do what it takes.

And, if you do what it takes, you are more likely to get the results you want.

There are three reasons why it's more likely you will get your desired results:

• Increased Outer Confidence - knowing that you can do it, you will be happier to set goals and objectives. Even if you face setbacks, you will expect to get there in the end. This expectation makes it more likely you will persevere - or come up with new ideas about how to overcome any challenges.
• Increased Skills - the best way to learn the tricks and techniques that really work for you is to find out by practice. Copying someone else exactly may not be enough, because we're all different. Over time, you develop your own unique 'how to achieve a goal' skill set.
• Changing Your Self Image - your self image will only let your brain servo mechanism lock onto targets you truly believe you can achieve, as you can read in my articles on psychocybernetics. Clearly, if you keep on reaching the targets you set, your self image will accept more and more difficult goals.

From my own experience I know what works for me when it comes to achieving goals.

For example, it helps me to keep a progress worksheet where I can tick off daily or weekly tasks that I know I have to do to get the result I want.

I know that I have to schedule time to do these tasks.

And I also know that it helps me to report my progress to at least one other person - someone who has no direct emotional stake in my progress, but who gives me encouragement whenever I report in.

You can keep these goal setting worksheets either with pen and paper or by using goal setting software.
