5 Goal-setting Wealth Secrets

By:


It's been said that one of the biggest wealth secrets of all is the ability to set goals. That's true, but there's more to it than just that. There are several individual wealth secrets that make up this one key to success, six of them in fact. What are they?

1. Give your goal a deadline. A goal without a deadline is a goal that may happen any time--or never!

Give your goal a deadline, and you'll give your subconscious a deadline. You'll be surprised to see how things fall in to place at just the right time.

2. Make sure your goal is measurable. As in, measurable without a calculator!

So if you make $3,000 a month in commissions, don't shoot for, "I want to raise my commissions by fifteen percent before the end of the year." Instead, go for, "I want to make $3,450 in monthly commissions by the end of the year."

3. Your goal must be brief. "I want to increase my cold calls by three a day, and work on Saturdays, so that I can raise my commissions to $3,450 by the end of the year." Why? Because that's two goals.

First, you want to go from $3,000 to $3,450. That is your overall goal. Increasing your cold calls by three every day is another goal. Working on Saturdays is yet a third.

If you make 9 cold calls during a normal day, you can start each day telling yourself, "I want to make 12 cold calls today." That way, even if you only make 10 cold calls that day, you haven't missed your goal for the entire week or month. After all, tomorrow is a new day!

This leads us straight into the next of our 5 goal-setting wealth secrets:

4. Focus on the result, not the formula. Another problem with the original long-winded goal from point number three is that it includes too much of the process. When you set a goal, focus instead on the results you want.

After all, to achieve your goal of 12 cold calls a day, you won't tell yourself, "I promise myself that twelve times today, I will touch my index finger to the phone buttons and, when someone picks up the phone, I will exhale air over my vocal cords."

Sure, you may need sub-goals to reach your overall result. But these sub-tasks should be separate. And you have to use common sense to know how far to take them!

5. Focus on what you want, not on what you don't want. Your goal is not to, "Make sure I don't put off those last three calls of the day." Instead, you should, "Make sure I make 12 calls before the end of the day."

Like it or not, we get what we focus on. So if there's something you want, do focus on what you have to avoid. If you give that much attention to what you need to avoid, you'll likely run straight into it, just from thinking about it so much!

And in fact, that's one of the best wealth secrets all to itself: You get more of what you focus on. Focus on what you want, and eventually you're bound to get it!
