10 Steps to Achieving Goals

  Notes from Bill Bartmann's webinar on goal setting:

     "Never be Awed by Success; Never Be Intimidated by Failure."
                         Bill Bartmann (www.billbartmann.com):

1.   Set crazy/big goals, not just big goals.
2.   Don't call them goals--they're promises. Promises are not made lightly. 
3.   Clearly identify the promise--what are the details?
4.   Identify your personal motivator--What's the why for the promise?
5.   Create a promise plan: what is the objective, by what date, where, why (see#4), whose help will you need and how--what steps are necessary to reach your promise?
6.   Review your promises and your plans 20 minutes each day.
7.   Tell yourself you will succeed--the size of your success is determined by the size of your belief.
8.   Tell others about your promises--success requires commitment.
9.   Envision the results--see the conclusion--Bill calls this "reverse worry."
10. Start!! You'll never know every step of the journey--take it 100 yards at a time and get going!
