1. Write them down. Committing your goals to paper
creates a road map for success. You begin to program
them into your subconscious mind, which in turn begins to work towards
their achievement.

1. Write your Goals down and commit them to paper. This is the first step to create a road map for success. Your brain starts programming for success and starts working toward achieving your goals.

2. Use your imagination and describe your goals as
vividly as possible, as if they were already a reality. Describe
them using your five senses and add heaps of emotion. Emotion
adds tremendous power to your goals.

3. Be specific. The clearer you are about what you want
in life, the more readily it will manifest itself. Time and again,
sociological research has demonstrated that specific, challenging
goals result in better performance than vague goals, no goals, or
people simply trying to "do their best."

4. Write your goals in the present tense, as if they have
already come true. Say "I am" not "I am going to".

5. Be positive. Success comes when we focus on striving
toward positive outcomes, rather than avoiding negative outcomes.
People setting 'avoidance goals' (such as 'I will stop smoking') tend
to be less happy, less satisfied with life, and more anxious than others.
Positive goals put us in a positive state of mind, and are mentally
associated with positive memories and experiences, whereas avoidance
goals are typically associated with memories of failures and accidents.

6. Be 100% committed to whatever you do, especially to your
goals. As Napoleon famously said, "If you start to take Vienna - take
Vienna." Underachievement is often caused by lack of commitment
and doubt about the worth of a goal. If you achieve your goals
and decide that you want something else, then go for that!

7. Choose goals that stretch your abilities and yet are within
what you believe is possible. People who set challenging goals for
themselves tend to accomplish more than those who set more modest goals.
As Emerson said, "We aim above the mark to hit the mark."
