5 things to remember when goal setting

We all know that one of the keys to achieving ones goals is to write them down - but when asking a typical crowd whether they have written down their goals for the current year - very few put up their hands!

Goal setting process starts with writing down your goal, bringing it into action, constant reviewing and achieving.

1.  Focus  on a few goals that you can repeat almost from memory. Not more than a list of 5-7 goals

2. Keep them SMaRT - specific, measurable, actionable , realistic and time bound 

3. Write it down - as soon as you do it - you are stating your intention and your Bahrain goes into "making that goal happen mode"

4. Review your goals  frequently– This is what turns them into reality. Every time you review your goals, your brain automatically asks , “What’s the next step I need to take to move toward this goal”. 

5. Share them– share your goal with few selected people like your Children , your Parents, Your Mentor, your MasterMind Group or Close Friends. These people will be helping you in achieving your goal.

There are a few great tools / apps that help you do this:-

Some things an entrepreneur would have loved to have known

2. Before going into business I wish I knew the importance of having an established “Advisory Board”.  Having a mentor is one thing but having a counsel of people who are not only experts in various business related functions but are also cheerleaders and coaches for your success is another. – Kellie L. Posey

4. The one thing that I wish I knew before starting a business was how much time you spend learning – it is constant – from self development, to business basics, to social media, – talk about wearing many hats! Oh my and thought motherhood was challenging. I love to learn new things but had no idea it was going to be like this. You have to learn how to act, how to present, how to close, how to keep in contact, how to prospect, and how to keep customers! – 

5. Focus on yourself as much as your product/service. The recipe is only as good as the Chef preparing the dish. – Mujteba H. Naqvi

29. Several years after starting my business I learned that the best source of advice and peer support are fellow entrepreneurs, especially those who have attained the level of business success to which I aspire. – Charles E. McCabe

70. Get a coach – someone who can walk you through the jungle to get you to the gold. Why bother flying blind, when others have blazed the trail before you? Starting a business without a coach is like getting in the car and driving. Sure you can move–and fast–but using a map is so much smarter than not. – Richard J. Atkins

59. I wish that early on I had sought out more business leaders in my field. It wasn’t until I was a bit older that I realized the value of the knowledge to be learned from veteran industry players and how it could help me grow my business. – Jim Janosik

82. What I wish I knew before I started a business was a really great business advisor! Most of us go into a business with a big heart for the product and lots of excitement. Few of us really know how to run a business. –Kelley Small
