When You've Reached Your Goals How Will You Know?

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.

Isn't that reckless? You couldn't drive someplace with no destination in mind, could you? Would that even be possible? You would end up aimlessly wandering until your gas tank was empty, or until you got somewhere close to your goal, but not the proverbial "cigar".

It's the same as in life and business.

If you have no idea where it is that you're heading you probably aren't getting anywhere. You must give yourself a target to shoot for. You have to know that you want what it is that you want because it will allow you to spend time with your children, and to go on vacation with your family whenever you want, not because you just want to "be happy".

You have to have your future mapped out so you know where it is you're heading, and so you can get there eventually.

It might seem out there, but it absolutely makes sense. If there isn't a clear picture in your mind, how can you possibly know when you are doing things that will move you towards your objective, or when you are doing things that will prevent you from getting there?

There isn't any way you can.

You can not create the life you want if you don't 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?

Well, that's all up to you. You are the one that knows what pushes your buttons, and what drives you, so you'll have to decide how that image should appear, but, when you are creating that picture, there are a few things you'll want to keep in mind.

First, get to the core of your goal. Figure out why you want what it is that you want, and get very specific. The more specific, 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.
