How Will You Know You've Reached Your Goals?

By Mr WebbyFied

A lot of us tend to start out in the direction of goals, never quite knowing exactly what it is that we want, and how we'll know once we have it.

That seems a little reckless don't you think? You wouldn't drive somewhere with no destination, would you? Is that even possible? Driving somewhere, and not driving anywhere? You would just wander until the gas tank ran on empty, or until you wound up somewhere close to what you had in mind, but not quite it.

That is just like in life, and just like in business.

If you don't have a specific place in mind, you really aren't going anywhere. You've got to give yourself something to aim for. You must know why you want the things that you want for specific reasons, specific purposes. Too vague, and you'll just end up spinning your wheels.

You must have your destination already planned out so you can get there eventually.

It might sound nuts, but it makes perfect sense. If you don't have a clear idea in mind, how will you know if the tasks you are doing every day are moving you towards, or away from your vision?

You can't.

You won't be able to make the life you want, if you do not know what that life is.

Now, I'm not saying you have to know exactly how you'll get there, and exactly how it will look once you have arrived, because if you did, your time would be better spent picking lottery numbers than working. All I'm saying, is that you should have a picture of that final goal that will allow you to move in one direction, and not a million at once.

What should that picture look like?

It is all up to you, and only you. You know what pushes your buttons and what drives you to get things done, so you have to decide how that picture appears to you. There are some pointers you will want to keep in mind when making that image.

You must begin by finding out what the core of your goal is. Find out why you want the things that you want, and make sure to get specific. The more specific you are, the better.

With goal in mind, you will next begin to ask yourself how you will know you have reached that objective. This might be you in a brand new Mercedes, or you being handed several thousand dollars in cash. Whatever this sign may be, see it as brightly as possible.

These two simple steps will help you achieve more than you ever thought possible in a very short amount of time. Knowing where you are headed will keep you going in one right direction, instead of a million that will never get you anywhere.
