Hey Julie this was a very insightful article.
Goal setting is the one thing that separates the winners from the losers and the successful from the unsuccessful. “Whenever” is definitely not the best term to use when creating goals.
One thing you can do is to actually write the goal as if you have completed it and read it everyday. This is powerful because it gets you focused on actually achieving it rather than just writing it and reading it here and there.
Thanks again, great stuff.

Hey Julie,
Of course, knowing what you want exactly will help you achieve it faster. However, many new goals show up as we progress in life. Besides the goal setting and action taking I would add gratitude and openess. You know the saying..Let go, Let God. When something unexpected happens we tend to say..ohh that shouldn’t be happenning..In fact, it is there for a good reason. Accept it and see the bigger picture. There is a natural flow of life available that guide us..if we allow it.
Thank you for sharing Julie
Be blessed,
Radu

Hi Julie,
Wow love the look of your site, the orange is hot! Very unique, and this is another fantastic article you’ve done about the importance of goals. I have to agree with all your points actually. I especially agree with being persistant and tracking your results. It’s hard to know what’s wrong if you don’t track your actoins.
Thanks,
Neil
Hey Neil,
Thanks! I decided to change my site up a bit, glad to get your feed back on it. Something that Adam Chandler said on a webinar the other day really sums it up, “failing to plan … is planning to fail”. So, yes we should write it down, make it clear, be persistent and track our progress making the necessary adjustments.

Hey Julie,
Setting a goal effectively throughout life is the most important skills that any of us can have.
By setting goals, you are taking the first step to a appy, more productive life that is fulfilling
A vision board is a good idea to remind ourself of why we need to set our goals.
Thanks Julie for sharing
Thank you Easther,
Very true, the vision board definitely keeps that goal right in front of our eyes!! Thanks!

Excellent post Julie!
I have to admit that my goal setting “goals” haven’t been a priority lately. I mean I have clear vision of where I am going and what I want to achieve, but I haven’t followed the traditional goal-setting procedure by setting clear figures, time limits etc.
Maybe this is a clear reminder of what I should be doing eh?
Thanks a mil!

Hey Ruan,
We aren’t all as disciplined as you, some of us need to write it down and stay on a clear path (that is written down LOL). Way to go having that mind control going on.

A little trick I like to use on myself, if you want to call it that, is making a promise to myself rather than a goal.
I still use goals as a tool to guide my intentions in the right path, but if I am struggling to accomplish something I make a promise to myself that I am going to get it done.
It must be a subconscious thing:)

Julie, this is one of the more difficult things of the commitment. It is so because everyone, including me, said for themselves that with a little bit of knowledge we fulfill our goals, but is more than a little bit is a lot of our attention and desires and discipline, and the last thing is consistency. Thanks for the list of goals, it helps a lot. Thanks.
Piedad recently posted..IS POSTING AND BLOGGING A DANCE?
Hey Piedad,
True, sometimes we have to take things slowly and pick up speed as we go. Starting any new venture can be an overwhelming feat, however, we have to take it piece by piece before the entire puzzle is put together. Main focus is on seeing what the many pieces creates.

Goal setting is very important. I like to set 3, 6, and 12 month goals. I also set longer goals such as 3 and 5 years. It keeps me focused and on track for what I want to accomplish. Great post Julie!

Hi Julie, There are definite advantages of setting goals. It means your unconscious mind will be focusing on these things and you will then notice the opportunities to reach these goals. Love it. Awesome! Warmest Regards Shirley
Thank you so much Shirley,
We must remain focused. There are so many distractions in life that if we don’t sometimes put on those blinders and create a “tunnel vision” and continue on the path, we may “just miss it”.

Hi Julie,
Setting goals is so important and it works great if you share those goals with others. I was taught a very long time ago to make a 1, 3, 5 and 10 year plan and write down everything you want to achieve in those years. It is very rewarding and makes it more real to write everything down.
Great post Julie as always and thank you for sharing.

Hey Tristram,
Thanks!!! I definitely have to determine my path and goals not only for the year(s), but the weeks to stay on track. (Actually … sometimes it’s more a daily chore) LOL But as the results from the experience proved “why set goals” … in order to achieve them and reap the rewards.

Hi Elizabeth.
I agree with you that Julie wrote a great post. And anytime of the year is a great time to set goals. And any time of day too.
If we wake up and we may be having a bad day, that is because we were thinking negative thoughts when we went to sleep.
And if we are struggling in life, that is because of decisions made in the past.
How to be successful in life is all determined on how we have thought in the past. I almost used the word *thunk*…lol.
And where we are headed is how we start thinking from this day forward. And it looks like you, along with Julie K Beachum of course, are both headed in the right direction!

Hey John,
So very true, we must start somewhere. Too often we always say “tomorrow” and tomorrow never arrives. When we look up, another week, month, year has gone by … no better time to start goal setting that right here, right now.
Cheers & happy new year to you!!!

We all too often set our goals and stop mid stream. But having a vision board visible with the actual images of our “why” usually helps to keep me on track and focused.
