Do you write down your goals? Not only that but is your goal broken down into 100 mini goals?
I notice a lot of people do not write down their goals, they simply just tell themselves in their head what their goals are.
Not only that but their goals are very generalized(I.E. Get rich! , start XYZ start up and then sell to Google!, Lose 50 pounds! Make my first million!)
Here is a study that says overall you are more likely to succeed if you commit your dreams to writing: Study Backs up Strategies for Achieving Goals
Isn't this Event oriented VS process oriented?
If you break down a very general goal into 100 goals you are paving the way to your process. But if you simply say in your head: "I wanna be rich" you are event oriented!
Putting your goals on paper makes them as real as they can get at the moment. Having a piece of paper with a hundred goals that translate into "I wanna be rich" exposes the exact process and steps you need to take to accomplish your goal.
But here is the biggest benefit of doing this: You will find that this is very difficult! Very puzzling to break down a general goal into 100 goals! Especially the goal "I wanna get rich". It helps you identify and get familiar with your process.
Saying I wanna start a company and then sell it to google sounds simple and easy because its event oriented. But if you actually break it down to its process all of a sudden you know what you are up against and reality sets in.
So hopefully my suggestion helped you. Just try it out.
Most of you that read this will not do this. But those of you that do you will discover something awesome
. You will discover the true meaning between event vs process.
So how do you set goals? What strategies do you use to accomplish them?
