Tips for success: habits for designing a life you love!

 

Goal setting is a skill I learned early on in life, and it's a skill that has helped me immensely in creating a life I love. Did we know that only 4% of population actually achieves goals they set? Here are some great ideas about how you can use goals to create a life that you love.

1. Get a buddy!

Everyday at 7: 0 am my success partner Janet and I share one thing we will each do that day to be Happy, Healthy and Wealthy. Sometimes we talk for three minutes, sometimes 15. The point is to set tangible action items for day that get we one step closer to your heart's desires.

2. Determine what you want in life.

One of my mentors, Brian Buffini taught me to set goals in 5 areas of my life: Spiritual, Personal, Friends & Family, Career, and Finance. What a difference having goals makes! There's no one right way to set goals. Just do it, and when we do, grant yourself permission to think really big.

3. Set tangible goals with time lines.

Consider making weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly goals. Why not create goals for 2-10 years out? Once all of your goals are set you'll have a map ready to lead you to achieving your dreams.

4. Set a Quantum Leap Goal.

Jack Canfield, co-author of internationally renowned Chicken Soup for Soul series, taught me to take the time to set a goal so big that it can only be achieved by shifting your thinking and by engaging Law of Attraction. The Law of Attraction states that what we focus on expands. And it's true. Throughout my career I've leveraged this law for success.

5. Have a quarterly Vision Day with a success partner.

Write your successes from last 90 days (you'll be amazed at what you've done! . Set goals for next 90 days in each area of your life (hint: use your annual goals as a guide to determine quarterly goals).

6. Re-purpose your time.

Get really particular about what you do with your time - ALL of your time -- especially time you spend with other people. Leverage your commute into an educational experience! Take one week a month and listen to CD's on personal development.

7. Record and listen to your goals.

My friend Craig records his goals and then creates play lists in his iTunes that have goals mixed in between his favorite songs. So he listens to music, and then gets to hear himself saying an affirmative goal. Talk about being intentional!

Become part of the minority and take first step in achieving goals we set! I guarantee that as we add goals and benchmarks to your new intentional life, we will not be able to help but pass on the keys to your success to others. This is beauty of living a life you love -- once we get there, you will want everyone around we to find the same happiness and success that we have. It's simply contagious.
