HOW TO SET GOALS… SO YOU CAN ACHIEVE MORE OF THEM
Chances are you’ve heard of goal setting. You’ve probably even set a few goals for yourself in the past. And without a doubt, you’ve possibly failed to achieve many of those goals you set for yourself, if not most.
How do I know? Because goal setting and missing the mark is a very normal phenomenon that happens to most people, including myself.
The great news is this, setting goals doesn’t have to be a fruitless activity. In fact, if done right, it eventually leads to better things, like more success, increased happiness, and a better life.
Truly, goal setting is a powerful tool that is freely available for everyone to use to achieve what we desire in life. Unfortunately, way too many people think that setting goals doesn’t work at all. But typically, it is not so much that goal setting doesn’t work, it’s that they don’t work.
My apologies if that sounded harsh. But, goal setting works. It really does. Of course you won’t hit every single goal you set, but you will hit some of them. And hitting goals and making progress is what success is all about.
So, if you want to discover a step-by-step strategy that can help you set and achieve more of the goals you set for yourself, we’ve got just the thing for you.
Follow through on the seven goal setting steps outlined below, and there’s no way you won’t start making more progress on the goals you decided to strive to achieve.
7 POWERFUL GOAL SETTING STEPS TO HELP YOU ACHIEVE MORE
1. Start With Your Vision and Purpose
The first step is the most important of all because it lays the foundation for achieving your goals. So, start with your vision and your purpose.
Here’s how you do this; Imagine you are now living in the future, what do you see and what kind of life are you living? What kind of lifestyle do you want to have?
Starting with a vision is important because it serves as the ‘”lighthouse” that points you in the right direction.
Tony Robbins, the famous personal development guru describes the journey of life like paddling through a raging river.
He said that most people jump into the river without ever deciding where they want to go. And they simply follow where the current brings them.
In other words, they go with the flow. They become parts of the general masses who are directed by the environment rather than making progress to reach the destination that they desire.
Eventually, when these people are five feet away from the Niagara Falls, only then do they realize the boats that they are in are without oars. For these people, it will be too late for them to make any change. Sometimes they suffer an emotional fall, sometimes it is a physical fall, and sometimes it can be a financial fall.
However, such events can be prevented by having a clear vision and purpose for your life. When you know exactly what you want to achieve, you create the conditions for living a proactive life rather than a reactive one. And when you live proactively, it’s much easier to respond the inevitable challenges that life will throw at you.
Action Step:
Visualize and see yourself in the future. It can be ten or twenty years down the road. See yourself living the kind of successful life you want. Imagine the success you desire and then find out your purpose why you want to live that kind of lifestyle.
2. Turn Your Vision and Purpose Into Concrete Goals
This second goal setting step is vital. After you have identified your vision and understand the purpose behind what you want to achieve in life, it is time to turn them into goals. And you do this by writing your goals down.
Some people prefer to write their goals on a piece of paper and some prefer to write them in their journal or notebook. For me, I prefer to do this using Word document so that I can include pictures and make my goals fun and interactive.
Whatever you do, make your goals tangible. And to make them tangible, you can either write them down or print them out, like I do.
You have to be serious and committed when doing this step. If you are just trying to imagine your goals and keep them in your head, it shows that you lack commitment. And in all honesty, most people fail because they are not serious and are not truly committed to their goals. If you need more convincing, here are 7 powerful reasons you should always write down your goals.
Here are some tips to help you in this step:
- Make your goals tangible by writing them on paper.
- Set both long-term and short-term goals.
- Make sure your goals are as specific as possible.
- Include measurable factors to your goals so that you can easily track and record your progress.
- Don’t forget to put a deadline or time-frame for your goals.
One important key to remember is that you must make your goals as exciting as possible. If your goals are not exciting to you, you will never bother to do anything to achieve them. In other words, your goals must also be something that you truly want, not just something you’d love to have. Similarly, it can’t be something that others want from you or for you either. It must be something you truly and deeply want for yourself.
Action Step:
Turn your vision into goals by putting them down onto paper. Remember to make your goals specific, measurable, and include a deadline for them.
3. Transform Your Goals Into Actionable and Measurable Steps
The third step is to transform your goals into actionable and measurable steps. Goals can sometimes be too big, and when they are if can leave you feeling like you as if you have no idea where to start.
Therefore, what you need to do is to create an action plan that can help you know exactly what it is you need to do to start making progress on your goals.
You can start by spending some time brainstorming all the possible action steps you can do to reach your goals, and then writing down every step that comes to mind.
For instance, if you want to build a successful blog, here are some of the items you can include in your plan:
- Identify a profitable niche
- Register a domain name
- Create the blog with WordPress platform
- Come up with 10 content ideas
- Write the first content
- Buy a logo from Fiverr
- Create a Facebook fan page
- And more
Make sure your tactics are specific, clear, and actionable. Vague action steps will only confuse you and make you procrastinate.
The more specific and the more actionable your tactics, the easier and more likely you will be to act on them.
Action Step:
Create your action plan to achieve your goals. Identify all the possible steps you need to take to reach your goals.
4. Commit to Your Big-3 and Take Consistent Action
The only way to achieve your goals is to take action. There is no other way around it. Success is not going to fall down from the sky and money will never go into your bank account accidentally.
When you study the success stories of highly remarkable people, you will see that all of them work extremely hard to accomplish the amazing results they desire in life.
As such, you should be doing the same. So, commit to taking consistent action. Follow the Big-3 rule by taking 3 action steps each day. And remember this, what you do every day matters more than what you do every once in a while. Consistency is critical.
Regardless of how big or small the steps you take each day, as long as you are making progress, you will eventually reach your goals.
Action Step:
Identify 3 action steps you can take each day and commit to completing them. Make sure you do something to make progress toward your goals every day.
5. Condition Your Goals into Your Subconscious Mind
This is a goal setting step most people don’t do. And unfortunately, it is what causes many to fall short of reaching their aims. Typically, when most people first begin setting their goals, they’re so motivated and committed to taking action. However, after a reasonable amount of time elapses, their motivation fades and they start losing interest in their goals. The culprit? They didn’t sear their goals into their subconscious mind.
When your goals become part of your subconscious, your actions will become a habit. And your habits will determine your destiny.
Most people fail to persist consistently because they rely solely on motivation. Now, motivation is great, but it comes and goes. Habits, however, are more reliable.
You brush your teeth each morning after you wake up, right? And how much motivation do you think you need to brush your teeth? Exactly, none.
So, program your goals into your subconscious mind and turn them into habits.
Here are some quick tips you can follow to help you condition your goals into your subconscious mind:
- Create vision boards and practice visualization each day.
- Review your goals and imagine that you are already living the successful life you desire.
- Practice affirmations and repeat them daily
Here are some quick tips to help you turn your actions into habits:
- Repeat your actions every day in a similar manner. Do it at the same time and place.
- Develop schedules and use time-blocking method to take action each day.
- Use the habit stacking method by stacking your action on top of your regular habit.
Action Step:
If you want to have the long-lasting motivation, develop habits and tap into the power of your subconscious mind. Make sure you review your goals daily and develop productive habits to take action.
6. Track and Review Your Progress
Another important step that should be taken is to track and review your progress. A lot of people have this misconception where they think that goal setting is a one-time thing. But this is not the case. Goal setting is a continuous process that requires constant review and tracking of your targets.
Look at it like this. If you don’t track your goals, you will lose yourself in the buzz of your day-to-day life and slowly forget about them. When this happens, you’ll undoubtedly lose your momentum and eventually, you’ll lose your motivation. And lost motivation usually leads to lost goals that never get reached.
The key to achieving your goals is to focus on them. And tracking is one of the most powerful methods to focus on your goals.
Not only that, tracking also allows you to understand your progress. You can tell if you are on the right track and whether what you do is moving you forward or away from your goals.
Thus, create a tracking system or a scoreboard to measure your progress.
In the sales industry, a company usually will send out sales numbers to encourage their employees to focus and perform better. This is one effective form of tracking and measuring too.
Action Step:
Create a tracking system to measure your progress. You can use a simple table scoreboard to do it.
7. Adjust and Improve Where Necessary
The final goal setting step…adjust your strategy as you go.
By now, you should have at least a crystal clear goal to achieve, a solid plan, and a tracking system. Without a doubt, as you take action and progress toward your goals, you’re going to face some setbacks. But you can’t let that stop you.
Don’t fret when you make mistakes or even fail to create the result you want. Just adjust and improve your strategy to do better as you go. Learn from your mistakes and treat your failures as feedback. This is how highly successful people learn and are able to produce remarkable results in their lives.
And if you ever get discouraged, just remember that when a baby learns to walk, it falls down many times. But, just because it falls down doesn’t mean it gives up in it’s attempt to walk. Thankfully so, else none of us adults we be able to walk. So, keep on striving for you goals, regardless of the detours and shortcomings you’ll inevitably face, and sooner or later, you’ll reach your aim.
In short, keep on learning, turn your failures into stepping stones, and improve along the way.
Action Step:
Do not be afraid of making mistakes and failures because they are inevitable. In fact, the more you do and venture forward, the more likely you are going to fail. Hence, make it your principle to learn from your past mistakes and failures.
Conclusion
Setting goals and achieving them doesn’t need to be difficult. The key is to make sure your goals are clear and that you are willing to take the necessary action steps to reach them.
When in doubt, just follow the 7 steps detailed earlier and outlined below:

Affirmations are powerful, effective, and based upon neuroscience. They leverage a concept known as neuroplasticity to make real changes to the activity and functioning of your brain.[1] Typically affirmations are used as phrases to strengthen the mind. However, one word affirmations can be just as effective, if not more so, than their long-phrased counterparts.
Some might argue (like John McDonald from Message of a Master) that removing the “I am” from your affirmations to use just one single but positive word, is the most productive way to strengthen your mind and reinvigoration your life force.
So, we did our research and pulled together the very best one word affirmations for you to use. These affirmations have been vetted by their ability to truly and positively impact your mindset. In short, they really work and they work fast. That said, if you’re ready to dig into these powerful one word affirmations, then let’s dive right in:

Success comes easily to the person who gets things done. To the successful, execution is everything. Executions is what leads to success. It doesn’t really matter if you are parent, a school teacher, a middle manager or a household manager. There is always room for more success. And if you aspire to become effective at the art of execution, more success can and will come your way.
You are an executive, whether you know it or not. If you have the power to make a decision, and the capacity to execute on that decision, you are an executive. The real question is, are you an effective one?
So, to help you become an effective executive, and as a result, a more successful person in general, we are publishing some simple practices that anyone can begin implementing today.
So, if you’re ready to learn how to be an effective executive, and master the art of getting things done, let’s get to it:
HOW TO BE AN EFFECTIVE EXECUTIVE
According to Peter Drucker, who is known to many as the father of modern management, there are 8 key practices that successful executives almost always partake in. Drucker observed that effective executives typically displayed a pattern of asking specific questions with regard to getting things done. And these questions and practices were the following:
1. Effective Executives Always Ask, “What Needs To Be Done?”
Effective executives routinely ask “what needs to be done?” This is a critical question to ask, because it helps us pinpoint the what is needed, and what we can do about it.
This question removes fluff form whatever scenario you may be facing, and helps us get to a clearer understanding of the actions we must immediately take.
2. Effective Executives Always Ask, “What Is Right For The Enterprise?”
By asking “What is right for the enterprise?”, you’ll be ensuring that you are being thoughtful in your decision making.
This is important, because if we choose to take action on something that is not right for all the people who will be impacted by our decision, we can accidently create more work for ourselves down the road.
As such, you should always consider what is right for the group, family, organization, or enterprise before taking action.
3. Effective Executives Always Develop Action Plans.
An effective executive creates a plan of action, and then sticks to that plan of action. By having a plan of action, you’ll be much more likely to get started, and you’ll ensure you are taking steps in their proper order.
By not having an action plan, you increase your chances of doing things that are not important to your main goals, or right for everyone who is involved. So, create an action plan and ensure your actions are thoughtful and your efforts are efficent.

4. Effective Executives Always Take Responsibility For Decisions.
Things don’t go as planned, it is a part of life. And when things go wrong, an effective executive always takes responsibility for the decisions made that lead to the outcome.
Similarly, when things go right, the effective executive should also take responsibility. Of course, it is most critical to take ownership however, when things don’t go as planned. By taking ownership, the effective executive streamlines course corrections, and facilitates getting back into action.
5. Effective Executives Always Take Responsibility For Communicating.
Communication is important to just about every activity in any organization, team, or marriage. And troubles typically arise when communication fails.
But, when ownership is taken as to why communications have failed, the issues that cause breakdowns are more readily addressed. And so long as issues are being addressed, issues can be resolved, and progress can be made.
So, if you consider yourself an effective executive, be sure you always take responsibility for communication.
6. Effective Executives Always Focus On Opportunities Rather Than Problems.
Leaders know that you get what you focus on. And that if you spend most of your time pointing out all of the problems your team, group, or enterprises has, you can miss out on opportunities that are easier to identify by those focused on opportunities.
For example, if you are always focused on how an team member, is doing something wrong, you’ll never see what they are doing right. In addition to that, you’ll never even think to find ways to leverage their strengths to your benefit, if all you focus on is their limitations.

7. Effective Executives Always Run Productive Meetings.
Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple once stated that “The longer the meeting, the less is accomplished.” Without a doubt, there is much truth to this. Which is why an effective executive doesn’t just hold a meeting to hold a meeting.
Effective executives hold meetings when there is truly a need for them. On top of this, they ensure that no time is wasted on things outside the scope of the meeting. Value is the focal point of the effective executive’s meetings, and unproductive meetings create little value.
As such, only hold meetings if they serve a purpose, are highly productive, and add value to the organization as a whole.
8. Effective Executives Think And Speak In “We” Rather Than “I”.
If you really want to know how to be an effective executive, you have to learn to begin thinking in “We” versus “I”. If you only focus on yourself, you’ll limit your impact.
But, when you think “We” and speak “We”, all your actions will be directed at moving the needle forward as a group and as a team. This is important, because all great things in business are rarely if ever done by just one person.
No they are not. But, they are almost always done by a team of people.
Final Thoughts
Alright, you now have the nuts and bolts for becoming a highly effective executive. By leveraging these practices you will begin to get more things done. Your ability to execute will increase.
Here’s one last recap so you can tattoo these practices into your mind. Remember, effective executives always:
- Ask “What needs to be done?”
- Ask, “What is right for the enterprise?”
- Develop action plans.
- Take responsibility for decisions.
- Take responsibility for communicating.
- Focus on opportunities rather than problems.
- Run productive meetings.
- Think and say “we” rather than “I”.
With that being said, we hope you’ll leverage these tips and start executing like a Rockstar CEO. But more importantly, we hope you use them to get the right things done and find more success as you do.
