GOALS, Everyone Needs Them!

Setting Realistic and Achievable Goals

  •  Goals should be believable and achievable.


  • Goals should be a challenge, but not set so high that they can never be reached (causes frustration)

            Football teams may set a goal to reach the playoffs or win a conference title in addition to realizing their maximum potential, but very seldom set a “cast in concrete” goal to be in the Super Bowl.


·         Best Goal is something that is attainable and requires hard work and time to accomplish.

  Dream Big!!!  Write down what you want to accomplish in the next year.  Break down into smaller quarterly objectives (Take into consideration seasonal adjustments – summer – Christmas – etc.)  Develop a plan on how you are going to reach your quarterly objectives every month.  (Set some “Milestones”).


-       Don’t let outside negatives, over which we have no control, influence your goal selections.

-       Obstacles to success are generally self-imposed.

-       Road to reaching goals will have twists and turns, but … by keeping your mind on the things you want and off the things you don’t want … will keep you on track.

-       Ask yourself, “Is what I am doing now or about to do helping me reach my objectives??”

-       Just like handling objections - - Know where the potential obstacles to your success may come up.


-       Talk to people who have accomplished what your goals are - - They will give you invaluable insight into what you need to do.
