Winner's Circle Network with Lou Tice - 3/15/05 - " Achieving Your Goals "

If you're going to get what you want in life, it is only common sense that

first you have to know what you want. Even beyond that, it is absolutely

essential that you take your desires seriously enough to goal-set to achieve

them.

I am convinced that the reason most people fail to achieve their goals in

life is that they never really set them in the first place. Most people

spend more time planning a wedding or a vacation than they do planning their

lives. And by failing to plan, they are actually planning to fail, by

default.

You see, your mind is like the homing system in a torpedo or an automatic

pilot. Once you clearly and specifically commit to a target, your mind uses

negative and positive feedback from your environment, including your

internal environment, to adjust your behavior.

But if you program your mind with vague desires, nonspecific goals, or fuzzy

ideas, the feedback will be meaningless. For example, if you goal-set for a

better standard of living, how will you know when you have achieved it? Any

improvement at all will be something better. But if you have a highly

specific target, such as doubling your income, you will always know when you

are on track and exactly how far you have left to go at any given moment.

Remember, you have the power to achieve whatever you want in life, and

commitment to specific goals is the surest way I know to tap into that

power.
