Make Your Goals Specific and Action-Oriented

In order to make achieving your goals possible, they must be specific. You can clarify by asking yourself the what, when, who, why and how.

What's Your Goal?Make a goal statement that specifies exactly what you want in the fullest detail possible.

When Will You Reach It?Set a timeframe for achieving the goal as well as achieving each sub-goal along the way.

Who Do You Need to Help You?

Nearly every goal requires the support, help, encouragement or skills of other people.

How Are You Going to Get There?

Break up your goal into smaller sub-goals and specify each of these. Then, break them down into daily action plans.

Why Do You Want It?Always keep in mind your honest reason for wanting to attain your goal.

You can answer these questions by visualizing what you see in your future after the goal is achieved.

The best way to make your goals happen is to use the SMART goal planning system.

Staying on Track with Your Goals – How to Measure Your Progress

Measuring your progress is one of the most important aspects of goal setting. It offers a powerful motivator to help you stick with it.

Facts and FiguresFind some way to quantify. If it's hard to quantify, measure the time you spend working on it.

Stay on ScheduleCreate a schedule and chart your progress carefully while also remaining flexible.

Keep a Journal

Keep a journal and write about your progress as you work toward your goal.

Tick ItUsing a tick sheet is an even easier method for charting progress.

Ratings and RankingsEach day, rate how you feel about how it's going.

It takes time to measure your progress but it's worth it. It's vitally important to keeping you on track.

Track Processes + ProceduresAs you grow your business, you will have less time. Track repeatable tasks, even very basic tasks, that you hope to some day outsource.

Identify a processEx. Launch a Workshop

Record action step by stepWrite down each actionable step

Keep track of timeEstimate time required for step

Keep track of technology or skillset

Record which skills you are using (ex. Wordpress, or Copywriting)

ReviewWhen the process is over, streamline the steps into an more efficient flow.

UpdateWhen something comes up around this process, repeat it for future processes.

It takes upfront time to track your processes. But it will open up galaxies of time in your future, and enable you to outsource repetitive takes effectively.

Benefits of an Accountability Partner• Forces you to be specific. Sharing your plans

gives you the clarity you need to move ahead.

• Gives a dose of reality. They can be the objective eyes that tell you that you’re trying to do too much, or you’re not being aggressive enough, or you’re being too aggressive.

• Mutual motivation. Everyone could use a partner who pushes and encourages them to keep working away at their goals.

• You’re answering to someone. Having someone hold you accountable to your goals is priceless. Choose a partner strong enough to not let you slide.



14

How to Have an Accountability Partner

1. Find a great fit in your values and good chemistry.

2. Set clear weekly goals. Ex. “This is what I will get done in my business this week.”

3. Set a clear length of time. Ex. 30 minutes 1 x week, or 10 minute a day, or 15 minutes twice a week

4. Commit to consistent meeting time.

5. Take the relationship very seriously.

6. Keep notes of each other’s long term goals.

7. Support each other.

Choosing Partners:mastermind groupTo create a mastermind group that is dedicated to helping you achieve your professional goals, you can simply reach out to people in your network and explain to them that you are seeking their help as an advisor and part of your mastermind team, and if they want, you will reciprocate for them.

1. Consider this your own personal board of directors.

2. What assets do they bring?

3. Who would hold your vision – is a peer – would be someone who would be a good partner in a mastermind group?

4. Who is also interested?

5. Follow your intuition.

Napoleon Hill even went so far as to say there was a mystical quality created when a mastermind group was formed. He said:

“No two minds ever come together without, thereby, creating a third, invisible, intangible force which may be likened to a third mind.”
