Goal Setting
Ben Groenewald
1. THOU SHALL BE DECISIVE
· Success is a choice. You must decide what you want, why you want it, and
how you plan to achieve it. No one else can, will, or should do that for
you.
2. THOU SHALL STAY FOCUSED
· A close relative to being decisive, but your ability to sustain your focus
from beginning to end determines the timing and condition of your outcomes.
3. THOU SHALL WELCOME FAILURE
· The fundamental question is not whether you should accept failure. You
have no choice but to expect it as a temporary condition on the pathway of
progress. Rather, the question is how to anticipate failure and redirect
resources to grow from the experience.
4. THOU SHALL WRITE DOWN THOU GOALS
· Your mind while blessed with permanent memory is cursed with lousy recall.
People forget things. Avoid the temptation of being cute. Write down your
goals.
5. THOU SHALL PLAN THOROUGHLY
· Planning saves 10 to 1 in execution. Proper planning prevents poor
performance.
6. THOU SHALL INVOLVE OTHERS
· Nobody goes through life alone. Establish your own "Personal Board of
directors", people whose wisdom, knowledge and character you respect to help
achieve your goals.
7. THOU SHALL TAKE PURPOSEFUL ACTION
· Success is not a spectator sport - achievement demands action. You cannot
expect to arrive at success without having made the trip.
8. THOU SHALL REWARD THY SELF
· Rewards work! Think of what you will give yourself as a result of your
hard work, focus and persistence - you deserve it!
9. THOU SHALL INSPECT WHAT THY EXPECT
· The Shelf life of all plans is limited. No plan holds up against
opposition. Everything changes. Therefore inspect frequently and closely, it
's an insurance policy on your success.
10. THOU SHALL MAINTAIN PERSONAL INTEGRITY
· Maintain your commitment to your commitment. Set your goals, promise
yourself that you will achieve them. Eliminate wiggle room and excuses. That
's personal integrity!
