If you want to achieve the goal you’ve been longing to reach. Think of ways how you can cope up with the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

To start with, you should know how to build a workplace relationship that will get you the assignments you want and raises you need, make your manager really like you by doing your job well, boosting the bottom line, and helping yourself looking good and contented.

How to do that? Here are tips from the experts about the way to achieving your goals – and how to get that next big raise.

1. Sigh less, solve more.

Participating in a complaint session might be cathartic, but it could also get you in hot water with everybody. If you are unhappy with some aspect of your work situation, try to be proactive rather than resentful.

For example, if you’re teamed up on a project with a colleague whose work style doesn’t mesh with yours, go talk to your boss. Do not criticize your partner. Tell your manager who you would like to work with and how the change will benefit the company. In doing so, you’ll be able to finish the assigned task in no time and be able to achieve your target.

2. Play well with others.

Remember that you can never achieve your goals without the help of others. Your job performance doesn’t depend on you alone – it is a team effort. Good employees know that whatever they do they are all working towards a common goal, so they help each other out.

If you want to achieve your goals, you should learn how to collaborate with others instead of compete.

3. Be a girl scout.

Remember the five P’s to success: Proper planning prevents poor performance. Thinking ahead can help you manage even the simplest things. Anticipating potential problems can help you deal with or even prevent them. If this happens, then you are on your way to success, and nothing can stop you now.

4. Incorporate the “can-do” attitude.

That is, you should always get the job done and done it right, on time, and within the success of the organization as well. If you do these things, then your boss might just remember you when a higher position opens up. That is one way of achieving your goals.

5. Laugh a little.

Everyone at work just wants permission to be human, and that means being able to laugh sometimes. Your ability to crack a joke can make the world smile at you. And if everything looks good on you, that means that you have a positive outlook in life and achieving your goals is not too far behind.

6. Love your job.

The bottom line: If you really like your job, everything that goes with will like you too. When someone genuinely enjoys their work, they are motivated, and people are more willing to work with them.

Nobody can achieve their purpose in life if they are not happy with what they are doing right now. If you are not feeling positive about your work right now, take a step back and remind yourself why you choose the career you did.

After mulling over on the very primary reason why you are in the situation you are in right now, you’ll then realize the purpose you have been aiming for.

7. Go the extra mile.

Push a little harder. Keep in mind that nothing is good enough. If you want to achieve your goals in life, you just have to keep on trying.

Bear in mind that there are no such thing as failure. If something did not turn out as it should be, it means that there is something you have missed or needs more of it. If you act on it right now, chances are, getting that dream is not a fantasy at all.

8. Believe in yourself.

No amount of advice will get you anywhere if you don’t believe in yourself. In fact, it is the very significant factor that will make you achieve your goals. You will be a winner, you can have that dream car, and you can lose weight, all because you believe in yourself. That is the most powerful driving force one could ever have.

See, getting that dream is not that complicated, though it is not that easy either. But whatever it is that will make you strive harder, just bear in mind that when you want something, you have to work hard for it and believe you can. You are the only person on earth who will know how you can achieve your goals right now. As they say, life is what you make it.

Achieving goals requires persistence. Here’s the proof: In 1915 Ty Cobb set up an amazing baseball record of stealing 96 bases. Seven years later Max Carey set the second-best record with 51 stolen bases.

Was Cobb twice as good as Carey?

Consider this: Cobb made 134 attempts. Carey made 53.

So Carey’s average was much better.

Cobb however made 81 more tries and was rewarded with 44 more stolen bases.

Frank Bettger makes this strong point on page 238 of his fascinating classic: How I Raised Myself From Failure To Success In Selling

When you get behind the big success stories in any given field, you often find the most successful have made more attempts and spent longer hours at the given task than anyone else.

In other words, they give the law of averages a chance to work in their favor! They just keep on striking out, often against all odds.

With achieving goals, this sterling quality of persistence and its bed-fellow perseverance, is absolutely essential.

Yes the previous six steps are also essential and crucial BUT, if you do not persist, your wonderful plan can go down the drain. Your vivid mental images can just evaporate into thin air. Achieving goals simply becomes wishful thinking.

Achieving goals requires that you keep at it day in day out.

Then you are GUARANTEED results - eventually!

To maintain this kind of momentum you have to develop mental toughness.

To be mentally tough means you minimize the effects of discouragement and you turn negatives into positives.

Jack Black, in his illuminating book "MindStore", uses a computer expression to combat negativity - "Delete that Programme".

Whenever a negative thought comes into your mind or when others make negative comments, say to yourself, "Delete that Programme" and replace it with a positive thought.

For example, when you catch yourself thinking, "This is just not working, this is useless and a waste of time", trigger mental toughness by saying "DELETE THAT PROGRAMME".

Instead think: "What do I need to do to make this work!"

Admittedly, negative mental habits are hard to break.

It takes time and persistence but oh, the rewards when you do!

Do we understand then why the title of this final session is:

"Achieving Goals: The Remaining 90% - Sheer Persistence"?

It really does come down to that.

Just keep on going, persist, persist, persist, and let the good old law of averages work for you.

Achieving goals WILL become your reality!

The key to achieving anything in life is focus. The key to success is focus. Whatever you focus on, you will obtain. Obsessive focus is the ability to focus on what you want until you obtain it. When you become obsessive about what you want, and you focus all your energy on that one thing, you will create a powerful force that will push you forward.

Obsessive focus is not a state in which you need to constantly exist. Just the act of focusing on your goals and desires will create results. There are times, however, when you will need obsessive focus. Extreme change calls for extreme measures. When you want something major to happen that will revolutionize your life - that is the time to utilize obsessive focus. When I started my business, I used this concept for the first five years. I did nothing but focus on building my business and making it a success. Other coaches - many of them no longer in the business - often told me that I should relax and not work so hard. However, that hard work and obsessive focus helped me to achieve amazing results. Because of the obsessive focus I placed on my business in the beginning, I now have a strong foundation from which to work.

Obsessive focus is the secret weapon that you need to call upon only on certain occasions. You will use obsessive focus only for a while because, frankly, the energy that it takes can’t be sustained indefinitely, but it can last long enough to get what you want. If you are looking to create major change in your life, you need to be obsessive and focus all of your energy on that change. Be single minded and make it happen!

Obsessive focus is the equivalent of creating a laser beam effect. If you hold a laser beam directly on an area, the laser beam will burn a hole through even the toughest steel. You could take the same laser beam and continually move it around, but you will not get the same result. If you want to burn through to reach your dreams and goals, you need obsessive focus.

You might be thinking that obsessive focus sounds, well, obsessive. Yes! Obsessive focus is obsessive, but if you want to create big changes, there are times when you will need to be obsessive, single minded and totally focused. You won’t have to do it forever, but you will have to do it for some time. How long? Well, until you reach your goal.

With goal objectives in mind, consider the organizers of a marathon race. They take time to mark out the course. The way is planned. Otherwise reaching the finish line would be a matter of chance depending on whether a runner just happened to be in the area to see it!

Likewise reaching goal objectives requires planning.

It’s important to identify obstacles and also how to acquire help.

Make a list of possible obstacles and yet another list of knowledge, people or organizations that could help you.

Also there is a need for deadlines and the need to make another list of manageable slices or segments leading toward the main goal.

The next step involves using all the information gathered from these two previous steps.

Combine all these lists and put them in a logical order

Lay out the manageable steps in order of progression interweaving the details from your obstacles list and help list.

Get a large sketch pad and play around with the order of things until the plan begins to flow towards your goal objectives.

Acquiring knowledge for example would come before contacting people or organizations.

Once you have educated yourself a little you can ask intelligent questions and get valuable answers and leads.

Without knowledge you don’t even know what you need to know to be able to ask!

Make sure your plan is not too rigid!

Otherwise any deviation from the course could spell disaster if the plan is not flexible!

So factor in room for the unexpected when moving towards your goal objectives.

If one deadline is missed it should not jeoparize the rest of the plan.

Have more than one option open at crucial stages.

The flow can then follow a different route and still arrive at the same destination and achieve your goal objectives.

Once this session is completed you now have an action plan.

The course to the finish line for your goal is set. The way is marked out.

This step is a tremendous confidence booster and it is extremely practical.

Without planning you can drop out of the race early on.

When it comes to your goal objectives, by looking ahead through planning you get ahead and stay ahead!

Goals keep us motivated. But sometimes, people find it too hard to achieve their goals. Maybe because they have set long-term goals before setting short-term ones, or they did not plan their goals carefully.

Goal-setting strategies are important especially for those who want to achieve long-term goals. Here are five goal-setting techniques to help you realize them.

1. Start with short-term goals that will lead you to long-term ones.

Sometimes, people start with short-term goals unconsciously. Why unconsciously? Some of them may have considered the goals to be long-term at the time they planned them; and after achieving a goal, they realize that they are in fact, looking forward to a longer one. Some are contented with their short-term goals, but after a while will realize that they also need to attain long-term ones. Short-term goals seem to be our set off for longer ones. They will motivate the person to plan for longer goals, which will usually take some time before achieving them in full.

2. Make sure you really want the goal.

By this, you have to ask yourself: "Do I really want this goal? Will this goal give me a better life?" Answering these questions will give you more passion to achieve your goal. Some people recall their past to find out why and how they came up with such goal.

3. Speak up.

By this, it means you shouldn’t keep your goals to yourself only. Sharing your goals could help you get the support you may need from others. Some people are too shy to tell others about their goals for reasons like they are afraid they cannot achieve these in the end, or they lack the courage to speak up their minds. This is not a good habit because when the time comes that you really need their support, you will have a difficult time to get such support. You will then have to achieve your goals all by yourself. Also, sharing the fruits of your goals is uplifting to the mind and spirit.

4. Write down your goals.

This strategy is more advisable for those who have a long list of goals. After writing them, it is advisable to review them because this will encourage you to achieve them.

5. Stay on track and don’t give up.

Reviewing notes will help open your mind to see if you are on the right track. While on track, you may have to face challenges that might change your personality. A person who is overconfident might suddenly feel depressed after finding out that he is going the wrong way in achieving his goal. Thus this might lead to abandoning the goal. Never be discouraged. Facing obstacles is a test on how passionate one is to realize his goal.

Writing goals describes the act of inscribing on a surface characters or shapes that convey thoughts and ideas in relation to that goal. Why is this mechanical act of writing goals so important in the achievement process?

Also, what is the best way to approach writing goals for maximum effect?

Words are an integral part of the thinking process.

Words convey images, pictures, feelings, emotions to the mind.

Say to yourself silently "STENCH" and then follow it quickly with "FRAGRANCE" and you will be aware of the different reactions those words produce in your mind.

Here is an interesting observation:

We can be thinking ’something’ without realizing fully what that something is.

It is intangible, it is not clearly defined in our mind.

But now, start putting that thought into words, try expressing it and an amazing thing starts to happen.

By clothing it in words, that abstract thought now takes on body, shape, form, substance.

It is no longer just a thought! It becomes something which motivates us, or creates a gut feeling inside.

Just try it and you will see how it works.

So, why is the mechanical act of writing goals so important?

Building on what we have already stated, putting pen to paper now transfers those expressions which embody thoughts onto something tangible. We can now physically look at it.

Even the act of using the eye in coordination with the hand holding the pen when writing goals makes a much firmer impression on our mind as you write out the phrase or expression.

Now when we read and re-read that phrase or sentence the impression on the mind becomes deeper and deeper.

Here is another important point:

When the words are written and then repeatedly re-written they have maximum impact.

So don’t be content with a first draft.

Initially writing goals down is important, yes. But then, rephrase it, compact it, add motivating adjectives, make it pithy.

A week later you may want to adjust it again. Keep on fine tuning.

For example, suppose you set the goal to become a public speaker.

The first draft might read:

"My goal is to become an accomplished public speaker who can hold the interest of an audience from beginning to end."

Second draft:

My goal is to be an enthusiastic speaker who gets an audience on its feet.

Third draft:

My goal is to be such an inspiring speaker I get a standing ovation every time.

Can you see how the motivation evolves when writing goals?

Putting it in writing breathes life into it making it a force which cannot be easily stopped.

To put it succinctly, "Writing Goals Down Ties Them Up!"

Many people choose a goal, a plan, and pump themselves up enough to take action … for a while. But most people find that their focus varies from day to day and circumstance to circumstance. In fact, most people eventually lose their focus altogether and fall right off the horse.

Remember the last time you fell off the horse? What did you do? If you were able to muster up enough focus you got back on the horse, no big deal. Being on the horse and getting on the horse require focus; that’s the point of having the horse!

So how do you get focus and keep it?

One way is to remind yourself not only of what your goal is, but why, exactly, you have the goal. Your goal should be written down somewhere you’ll see it every morning and every night. But don’t stop there! Loss of focus isn’t likely to happen in the middle of the night or while you’re getting ready for work. Keep a “goal card.” This is a note card with your goal written on it. Keep it in your pocket and read it throughout the day. Through experience I’ve found that my focus was lost during certain circumstances. If my goal was to lose weight, it was difficult to pass on the invitation to have lunch with friends at a restaurant I knew wouldn’t serve me anything on my diet. This was an important time to take a “goal break” in the restroom (for privacy) and read my goal card. Why is it that I want to pass on this invitation? Oh right, it’s because I want to lose weight because I want to look and feel better. And exactly how is that going to feel? This is the time to shut your eyes – remember, you’re in a private place, like the restroom – and imagine how you’ll feel when you’ve lost that weight … or whatever your goal may be.

Side note: I need to clarify something. If you’ve agreed to do something (i.e., lunch) and then gone on your secret goal break and decided against your agreement, it IS okay to come back out and tell people you’ve changed your mind. Maybe you’re not feeling well or you remembered you have to run to the bank for lunch, etc. Or maybe you’re not bashful about your goal and you don’t mind telling them point-blank that you’re not going because you’re on a diet.

Repeated Exposure

Your number one tool for maintaining focus is repeated exposure to the feelings you expect to experience when your goal is accomplished. Read your goal morning and night, keep a goal card on you at all times, and don’t hesitate to read it at various times throughout the day.

Experience your goal!

When you read your goal card, morning, night, and in between, don’t just read it – experience it! Think about how it’s going to feel when you accomplish this goal. Saying, “It’s going to feel great when I have a million dollars,” just doesn’t quite capture the moment of your future accomplishment. Close your eyes and really experience the goal.

Support from others

Enlisting the support of other people is a great way to keep you on track and improve your confidence in your ability to accomplish the goal (I call this Goal Confidence). Tell a friend about your goal and ask them to say something to you every day that uses the phrase “… when you achieve [state your goal here].” For example, if you want to have a million dollars, your friend needs to say something to you like, “It’s going to be great when you have that million dollars!” Instruct them to be serious about this and not get cute with their phrases. This is a very effective tool for goal accomplishment.

Support groups are another great resource. If you believe one exists, look for a group of people who want to accomplish the same goal as you. The members of this group should encourage each other as well as help each other come up with new creative ways to accomplish the goal or overcome obstacles to the goal. If you’re unable to find a support group for your goal, consider looking for a group at MyGoalGroups.com.

Mark your calendar!

Marking your calendar with important dates such as milestones, obstacles, or other goal related events will keep you focused on the big picture. If you have a support group, consider sharing your important dates with the other members.

Fall off the horse?

Everyone falls off sometime. Remember: It’s just a horse. Climb back on and use those spurs!

He has used goal setting goal planning and imagination to completely rebuild his life. He now wishes to share with others the techniques he used to create his own success. Because of the deeply personal nature of his goal setting experiences Micah is very passionate about the process of achievement.

Examine your own personal goals and find methods to achieve your desires with these valuable quotations about setting goals…

  1. "The most important thing about having goals is having one."
    – Geoffrey F. Abert
  2. "It takes a little courage, and a little self-control. And some grim determination, If you want to reach the goal. It takes a deal of striving, and a firm and stern-set chin. No matter what the battle, If you really want to win. There’s no easy path to glory, There’s no road to fame. Life, however we may view it, Is no simple parlor game; But it’s prizes call for fighting, For endurance and for grit; For a rugged disposition and don’t know when to quit."
    – Anonymous

    – Bette Davis
  4. "A goal is a dream that has an ending. "
    – Duke Ellington
  5. "The timid and fearful first failures dismay, but the stout heart stays trying by night and by day. He values his failures as lessons that teach The one way to get to the goal he would reach."
    – Edgar A. Guest
  6. "Know what you want to do, hold the thought firmly, and do every day what should be done, and every sunset will see you that much nearer to your goal."
    – Elbert Hubbard

    – Helen Keller

    – Benjamin E. Mays
  11. "Each of us has a fire in our hearts for something. It’s our goal in life to find it and to keep it lit."
    – Mary Lou Retton

In The One Minute Millionaire, authors Hansen and Allen state that in order for success to be achieved one must establish congruence. Congruence is when things come into alignment, but not just arbitrary things, three very specific things. First, your desire…you have to want it. Second, your belief…you have to believe (have faith) that you can get it. Lastly, self-acceptance… you have to know and feel that you deserve to have it.

They sound simple, and it’s easy to understand the reasoning behind them, but this is why so much self-sabotage occurs. One thinks that they’re in alignment, while suppressing a tiny niggling fear or question of doubt. Just one such doubt or a wishy-washy thought on one of any of the three key areas is enough to de-rail your success.

So how does one overcome the doubts and defeat self-sabotage?

When Desire is Your Nemesis

Explore if you’ve really bought-in to your goal. Is it your goal or someone else’s? Will it make you happy, or are you trying to fulfill an obligation, taking an easy way out, or just not feeling 100% about it? A classic example of this is when a son or daughter follows a career path to please a parent, even though they’d prefer to do something different. Make sure your goal is truly your heart’s desire.

Do you really believe that?

Wanting a goal and believing that you can actually achieve the goal are as different as night and day. Many people want success, but how many really believe that they can become the next Donald Trump or Bill Gates? It’s not lack of desire, but lack of belief. Perhaps they are not sure how to proceed with the goal, or are unable to see how to afford the education to get started, or think they don’t know the right people to contact. Whichever the case, these scenarios all work to weaken the belief system. Work on confidence building and add tools to your arsenal to combat limiting beliefs. If you approach your goal from what you DO have instead of what you think you don’t have a positive shift will occur.

But am I Really Worthy?

Do you ask yourself if you’re worthy to succeed? Many people compare themselves to the previous generation. "My parents had a very small home and only one car. My spouse and I have a 3,000 sq. ft. home, two cars, 1 or 2 incomes, and a boat, so we should be happy." Why? Should you be happy with less than you could achieve simply because it is more than others have? Only you can answer that question for yourself. Perhaps there is an underlying belief that wealth is the equivalent to greed? If you don’t believe that you deserve to have success and everything that comes with it, success will remain elusive.

Congruence

Congruence is the key to reaching all of your goals successfully, whether they are goals of career, personal growth, or love. Triumph stems from your inner perceptions. Getting to know yourself honestly and wholly can unlock the doors to the happiness and success that until now, you’ve only dreamed about.

– The One Pager Shortcut Series –

Much has been written about achieving your goals. For the Solo Entrepreneur, pursuing goals can be an even bigger challenge than most. The very independence that appeals to Solo-E’s often leads to an extremely full plate. The weekly 168 hours is not enough to do everything on the list, to say nothing of pursuing goals. Stop for a minute and consider what could be different.

1. What Are My Goals? This sounds simple, but the answer can hinder your progress if not related to values and stated very specifically and written down.

VALUES Goals reflect your values and what’s important to you. For each goal, make a clear link to one of your values. Some common values are achievement, balance, commitment, honesty, self-respect, and risk-taking (there are many more). Therefore, you must know your core vales FIRST, and then see how your goals relate to them.

SPECIFIC The more specific you are about your goals the more likely they will be achieved. A goal of “more money” is not specific enough. How much money? Name an amount, for example “$10,000 each month”. A goal of “more clients” can be more specific. For example, “20 new clients within 3 months” is clearer.

WRITTEN Another simple guideline that is regularly ignored. The value of getting goals out of your head and onto paper cannot be underestimated. Don’t think about this one, just do it!

2. How Will I Get There? Consider these two important elements; a plan and an attitude.

For the plan, create a written document. It should be no longer than one page. The format that I recommend includes answers to the following: A. What is the goal? (relate to values) B. What are the alternatives? C. What are the action steps? D. What could get in the way? E. What will I do and by when? On a regular basis, plan to review it and update it when needed.

For the attitude, adopt an optimistic outlook and be open to surprises. Since even the most well-written plans have unexpected outcomes, stay flexible and open to opportunities while working your plan.

3. What If I Don’t Have Time? This is the most common complaint. A CALENDAR MAKEOVER is the way to create time. Look at your calendar for the past week. Identify something that was “Urgent but not Important”. Here is an opportunity to delegate to someone else, automate it with a system, negotiate for a different outcome, or just eliminate it. Now, think through last week and identify time wasters such as web or TV channel surfing, chatting on the telephone, or any activity that you did instead of your “to do” list. Most people can free up at least 2 hours/week or 8 hours/month with a rigorous calendar makeover. Imagine what could happen if this time were spent on your goals!

4. What Gets In The Way? Excuses for not taking action such as “being too old” or “too late to start”. Sam Walton built the first Wal-Mart at age 43. Many people use previous rejection as a big barrier because they fear failure. The bestseller “Chicken Soup For The Soul” was rejected by over 33 publishers. What gets in your way? Identify it upfront and decide what to do to address it.

TIMELY TIPS

– Write it Down

– Pick a Partner

– Get Very Specific

– Create a Visual Cue

– Practice Saying “NO”

– Practice Self-Care

– Be Willing to Try Again

– Celebrate Milestones
