Steps to achieve our goals

1. You need to deeply desire the goal or resolution
The starting point of all achievement is desire. Weak desires bring weak results So, your first step in goal setting and achieving your goals that you've got to really, really want to achieve the goal.
2. Visualize yourself achieving the goal
"The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind." If you can’t picture yourself achieving the goal, chances are – you won’t.
3. Make a plan for the path you need to follow to accomplish the goal
Create action steps to follow. Identify a critical path. Stephen Covey said, "All things are created twice. There's a mental or first creation, and a physical or second creation of all things. You have to make sure that the blueprint, the first creation, is really what you want, that you've thought everything through. Then you put it into bricks and mortar. Each day you go to the construction shed and pull out the blueprint to get marching orders for the day. You begin with the end in mind." He's right.
4. Commit to achieving the goal by writing down the goal
Lee Iacocca said, "The discipline of writing something down is the first step toward making it happen." I agree completely. Write down the plan, the action steps and the critical path. Somehow, writing down the goal, the plan and a timeline sets events in motion that may not have happened otherwise. In my own life, it is as if I am making a deeper commitment to goal accomplishment. I can’t fool myself later. The written objective really was the goal.
5. Establish times for checking your progress in your calendar system
If you’re not making progress or feel stymied, don't let your optimism keep you from accomplishing your goals. No matter how positively you are thinking, you need to assess your lack of progress. Take a look at all of the factors that are keeping you from accomplishing your goal and develop a plan to overcome them. Add these plan steps to your calendar system as part of your goal achievement plan.
6. Review your overall progress regularly
Make sure you are making progress. If you are not making progress, hire a coach, tap into the support of loved ones, analyze why the goal is not being met. Don’t allow the goal to just fade away. Figure out what you need to do to accomplish it. Check the prior five steps starting with an assessment of how deeply you actually want to achieve the goal.
