Since it's that time of the year when we have new year's resolutions
on our minds, who better to chat with than one of the foremost experts
in goal setting and achieving? That's why I chatted with "Goals Guy" Gary Ryan Blair yesterday on my Gab With the Gurus Radio Show.
Did you catch it yet? Go now to catch this empowering, inspiring, fascinating interview that I conducted with "Goals Guy" Gary Ryan Blair.
Anyhow, Gary — who offers this remarkable Got Goals? program
— kindly gave me permission to post his 10 Commandments of Goal
Setting. Check them out. He talks about these insightful commandments
on my radio show.
1. Thou Shall Be Decisive.
Success is a choice. You must decide what you want, why
you want it, and how you plan to achieve it. No one else can, will, or
should do that for you.
2.
Thou Shall Stay Focused.
A
close relative to being decisive, but your ability to sustain your
focus from beginning to end determines the timing and condition of your
outcomes.
3.
Thou Shall Welcome Failure.
The
fundamental question is not whether you should accept failure. You have
no choice but to expect it as a temporary condition on the path way of
progress. Rather, the question is how to anticipate failure and
redirect resources to grow from the experience.
4.
Thou Shall Write Down Thy Goals.
Your mind while blessed with permanent memory is cursed with lousy recall. People forget things. Avoid the temptation of being cute — write down your goals.
5. Thou Shall Plan Thoroughly.
Planning saves 10 to 1 in execution. Proper planning prevents poor performance.
6.
Thou Shall Involve Others.
Nobody goes through life alone. Establish your own "Personal Board of Directors," people whose wisdom, knowledge and character you respect to help you achieve your goals.
7. Thou Shall Take Purposeful Action.
Success
is not a spectator sport — achievement demands action. You cannot
expect to arrive at success without having made the trip.
8. Thou Shall Reward Thyself.
Rewards work! Think of what you will give yourself as a result of your hard work, focus and persistence – you deserve it!
Aren't these wonderful goals rules? Now, check out Gary's life-changing Got Goals? program.
9.
Thou Shall Inspect What Thy Expect.
The
Shelf life of all plans is limited. No plan holds up against
opposition. Everything changes. Therefore inspect frequently and
closely — it's an insurance policy on your success.
10.
Thou Shall Maintain Personal Integrity.
Maintain
your commitment to your commitment. Set your goals, promise yourself
that you will achieve them. Eliminate wiggle room and excuses. That's
personal integrity!
