Set Goals. Make the positive difference to your life.
My name is Jayesh Tekchandaney, A Chemical Engineer by Qualification and Profession, A business owner by Occupation, Author, Speaker and Coach at Heart. My purpose in life is to touch, move, inspire and make a positive difference to people lives by sharing the good things and positivity that I have learned and been blessed with.
The one thing that has made a big difference to my life is the habit of Setting Goals. And today, I shall share with you, how to write your goals. Because writing your goals makes them real, it gives them a physical form, it provides you with direction and allows you to focus on what is important.
As an example, Let’s start with some of my goals My personal and professional goal is to write a book, related to my field of work. The way I would write my goal is… I have written a book on the subject of Industrial mixing. The book is published by John Wiley Publications by December 31, 2017.
As I mentioned earlier, my personal goal is to make a positive difference to people’s lives. For that, I would write my goal as I speak at conferences, seminars organisations, schools, and colleges inspiring people to set goals, and working for their achievement.
1. Make sure you write your goals as if your goal had already been achieved, e.g. I have written…., I speak. This is because the subconscious mind has to given a command in the present and made to believe that you are on the road to accomplishing your goals.
2. Write you goals in the personal tense. All of your goals should start with the word I. The I should be followed by an action verb.
I speak at conferences…
3. While writing goals, we need to set ourselves a deadline for achievement of the goal. In my case, it is the book being published by December 31, 2017. Setting a date, motivates us to block time, and take action towards achievement of our goals.
4. Also, Write your goals in the positive sense. For example, if your goal is to stop being lazy and begin to work hard, Instead of saying, I am not lazy, write, I am hardworking.
“Everything is Hard before it is easy,” said Goethe, the German philosopher. Setting Goals, writing them and seeing them manifest is easy when you choose to take action. I have been blessed and have experienced the joy of accomplishing many of my goals by following the goal setting process. My goal on the book being published is already achieved. And I continue to speak passionately about goal setting to those around me.
