Why Goals Are Important to Success
Successful people are goal oriented. They create goals all the time. Daily goals are represented in their daily "to do" lists. Long-term goals are broad initiatives to be accomplished at specified points in their lives. Successful people focus on work at work and leave their family and personal matters outside the office, in an effort to achieve their business goals.
Successful people are long-term thinkers. They are constantly looking to the future in an effort to determine where they are in terms of accomplishing their goals. They do not dwell on the past. No daydreaming about past successes or failures. They continuously make course corrections to get them back on track in achieving their goals.
Unsuccessful people are not goal oriented. They are like leaves on a fall day. They float around in the air aimlessly, without direction. They allow the distractions of daily life to affect their ability to perform their duties at work. They allow themselves to become easily distracted by things that have nothing to do with their work. Since they are not focused on goals, they have nothing grounding them to the tasks they need to perform to become successful.
Daily Goals
Before you begin each and every day, compile a "to do" list. List only those things you believe you have a realistic probability (80% chance) of completing that day. Prioritize this list and set a specific time in which you will tackle each item. The lower priority items are those that have a low probability (bottom 20%) of being accomplished that day and can be accomplished the subsequent day. You do this in order to build flexibility into your "to do" list to avoid frustration in failing to accomplish the important tasks set for that day. During the day mark off each completed task and congratulate yourself in its accomplishment. At the end of the day evaluate your "to do" list. This forces accountability.
