Anytime you get clear on exactly it is that you want (eg your goal), the next step is to start breaking that goal down

Every goal is comprised of smaller parts. Sometimes these smaller parts are different facets of a bigger goal and sometimes they are identical, measured increments of a bigger goal.

For example, a goal of losing 25 pounds will involve setting clear action steps such as eating less junk food, eating more veggies and fruit, exercising regularly – and simply repeating these SAME steps over and over until you reach your goal weight.

Exactly how many parts each goal has, will vary widely depending on the goal itself. However, aim for a minimum of 5 smaller parts of your goal. If you can think of more, go ahead and add them. But start with at least five, and be as detailed as you can.

If you’ve ever come to a screeching halt with a goal, you know the importance of having an alternate plan. It’s easy to forget that there are numerous paths leading to any desired outcome. While we might be attracted to one path over another, ultimately the outcome is the most important thing, right?

Your results are dependent upon the intensity and frequency of your actions. If you want big results, take big actions.

So ACT. Focus on enhancing your performance, stretching your limits and refining your approach. Keep your attention squarely on what you CAN control (your own actions). Remain flexible.

“Our ideals resemble the stars, which illuminate the night. No one will ever be able to touch them. But the men who, like the sailors on the ocean, take them for guides, will undoubtedly reach their goal”. Carl Schurz.

Clarity in goal-setting is vital!

Not only will you be confused and constantly side-tracked about how to accomplish a vague goal, you also won’t be able to generate the level of motivation and tenacity needed to see it through.

So first know exactly what you’re trying to achieve.
