Zig Ziglar on The Importance of Goals…

zig-ziglarWith millions of test records, TQ has found a direct 1:1 correlation between overall SUCCESS and the ability to set crystal-clear GOALS. Put another way, people who struggle with failed hopes, dreams and expectations have a poorly developed ability to turn their dreams and visions into Achievable Goals.

When you set specific GOALS, you target future accomplishments with precision and clarity. The first step in getting “everything” you want is to specify exactly what “everything” is.

Clarity and precision are critical because fuzzy, poorly defined goals give you nothing specific to aim at. And small, individual goals fail to have the power to ignite your passion, or to inspire others to follow your vision. On the other hand, you are most productive when you’re attacking a huge vision, aiming at specific, mission-based goals with the diligence and follow-through they deserve.

Goals are the milestones by which reality finds its way to a dream. Whenever you can specifically communicate what you want, you’re more than halfway to getting it. By identifying your values, vision and mission, you’ve determined what’s most important to you. Now, when you picture how your ideal world would look and what it will take to make it real, you can identify specific, concrete milestones along the road to your dreams. The more clearly and precisely you describe these targets, the easier it is to focus on the means for their attainment. These specific milestones then become your most vivid, powerful and inspiring goals because they’re in direct alignment with what you value most.

Remember, the difference between a dream and a goal is a date. Goals are “Absolute Will-Be’s” and “By When’s”, when you become 100% personally responsible for making them come true. There’s nothing more critical to your long-term productivity than setting specific goals and then holding yourself accountable for each and every one of them.

If dreams are born from imagination, then goals are born from a promise. Knowing this, set your goals with great care because when you set them, you are promising yourself exactly what you expect to get out of your life..

So with that in mind, watch and learn from World-renowned motivator Zig Ziglar guides you through a simple formula for achieving ANY goal.
