Ok….so you are working hard to advance your goals, but they are not being acheived fast enough for you.
Goal setting is of paramount importance when trying to achieve anything! Have you even set your goals?
Have you written them down?
Here are my top 3 tips to advance your goals faster!
1. Start Kickin’ butt – raise the bar!
Define greatness, challenge the limits, double the goal, or try something new…These are just some of the sentiments that put our plans into action and move us towards revolutionary results. Look around and witness the very essence of commonplace activities being tested and re-imagined. Such as schools re-defining Physical Education by bringing in activities ranging from kickboxing to more esoteric offerings like tai chi and yoga.
With the introduction of Blogs, an international conversation is in full swing with millions of links and a central clearing house inspired by immediacy, intrigue and tension. Raising the bar on a project can simply mean taking one extra step, having an allegiance to a weird idea, or devoting to a regular practice.
Commit to a goal in a meaningful way, personalize it & make it your own, and then watch an otherwise sleepy project wake up and give way to a new found energy, creativity and distinction . Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.”

– raise your standards,values or beliefs

goal

– create a regular practice
2. Show me the money!….umm I meant show me the shortcut!
Sometimes a goal deserves a break. TIME MAGAZINE reported that after 8 hours of sleep you’d be more than twice as likely to find a shortcut for solving a problem. Suggesting that taking it easy is good for the brain, and what’s good for the brain is good for the overall psyche and soul. Are you doing too much, not getting nourished and being exhausted? Well perhaps its time to consider another path.
Don’t re-invent the wheel. Pick up a book written by an expert, join a group that’s geared around your project, sign up for an informational newsletter , or ask someone to buddy up & help.
For instance, if I was writing a screen-play and struggling with a self imposed deadline, I could simplify my project just by signing up for a writing class. What, with weekly writing tasks & in-class exercises this alone would expedite the development of my script.
Another over looked short cut is to consider smaller steps. The smaller the increments the easier the goal. Eat an elephant one bite at a time! Go the path of least resistance, it’s a gift of energy.
Give your energy where it is best utilized – to yourself!
– slow down or change the pace
– don’t reinvent the wheel-find someone who’s done it before
– write everything down–loose ideas vs. lost ideas
– the smaller the increments the easier the goal
– keep to minimum daily standards
3. Focus on your End Success!
Beginning with the end in mind is the endowment of imagination . If you are the programmer, write the program! Goals help us to focus, and the quality of our attention is enhanced by having a project so cool and interesting that we can’t help but make a leap.
Let’s say, you want to organize your workspace so that everyone is inspired to do their best work. The in-between steps: like ergonomic concerns & planning comfortable lighting, can seem mundane, but joined together they name a bigger accomplishment and by doing so, asks us to spice up our expectations and upgrade who we are. Focus on success and keep in mind how you want your goals to end up – soon enough you will be successful!
– give your project a title
– name the accomplishment
– how would you like things to end up
– identify upbeat reasons for pursuing the goal (your Why)
– what needs to be done by when
If you really want to advance your goals and get ahead of the game and your own expectations – there are always plenty of ways to go about it!
