Personal Success Through Goal Setting
Setting goals and objectives is a process which has very wide
application in business, and it was certainly a part of my own
business training which I had to put into practice regularly in
the years that followed. Some of the better businesses and
organizations will also incorporate personal goal setting into
staff development, as part of the personnel (human) resources
routine. But what about you as an individual? Can you use goal
setting as a tool to help you achieve success?
Goal setting can, indeed, be a very useful, sometimes powerful
assistant to your personal success. If you incorporate goals and
objectives into your personal planning, whether short or long
term, then your road to success will have a better foundation.
Success? Success at what? That is entirely up to you. If there
is something in life you want to succeed at, then there will no
doubt be some goals you can set to help you along the way; like
stepping stones across a river when success is the opposite
bank. In reality, you can apply goal setting techniques to any
part of your life, whether it is to do with work, personal
relationships, where you want to live, or a personal hobby or
interest. So long as you set realistic goals at each stage, then
they can be a very strong personal incentive, which will prepare
you for the next stage. Eventually you will be able to look back
and see how far you have come, and you can wave goodbye to those
stepping stones and go on to new ones on another journey to
success.
If you settle down and think clearly about what you want to
succeed in, and then what you need to achieve in order to get
there, you will quite naturally give a structure to a plan which
you will follow; a structure that will incorporate goals you
will need to achieve along the way. As with business goals and
plans, your personal goals need to be realistic. If you have
never driven a car and

decide you want to be a Formula One race
driver, then it does not make a lot of sense to go directly to
Ferrari HQ and say "Here I am, can I race for you in next week's
Grand Prix?"
If you are determined enough, you may become an F1 driver, but
there are a few little goals to achieve first. That applies to
just about anything. You need to pinpoint the key achievements
along the way to success in whatever it is you wish to succeed
in, set an appropriate series of goals, and then tick them off
one by one.
It is important to think clearly about your personal goals, as
they are just that, personal. They are not your husband's goals,
you parents' goals, or your brother's goals, they are yours.
Keep focused on what you want to achieve, not what others would
like you to achieve from their own viewpoint. Use the
opportunity to incorporate lifestyle goals into your plan, such
as living by the sea, having a nice house, anything that is
important to you. Even happiness benefits from goal setting; you
can think about everything that would make you happy, and then
set goals to achieve each of those elements.
Having decided your goals, then put them together in a plan that
is realistic, otherwise you may be despondent after missing a
goal which was impossible anyway. Set a reasonable timescale,
and then try to aim for it step by step. If your chosen area of
success is a competitive one, then remember that most people
will just give up. But you will not give up, will you?
