Goal Setting – Zig Zigler Is A Legend

In the first video, Zig talks about the formula he uses for setting and accomplishing goals. Do all the following in writing (writing it down is ESSENTIAL):
- Identify your objective – what it is you want to accomplish
- Set the date you expect to complete your goal – put a date on it
- Identify your obstacles – things you need to overcome
- Identify the people, groups, and organizations you need to work with – who will help you
- Devise a plan of action – include time limits
- Identify what it is you need know – do you need to learn anything
- Identify all the benefits to you if accomplished – “what’s in it for me”
Check out Zig ~ I love him, he’s such a motivator:

In listening to Zig speak, I’m not only motivated but a bit overwhelmed. Just the thought of doing all the steps can be more than we think we can handle alone, not to mention following through on everything. Having help is really okay. Getting someone to push you a little or having a system to follow can really be the difference in reaching your goals or just saying “I wish I had followed through” later.
If you’re looking for a system to help you reach your goals next year, check out Gary Ryan Blair’s (The Goals Guy) new program called “Got Resolutions?”. If focus, discipline, and accountability were the things that prevented you from achieving your resolutions in the past, then you must get the “Got Resolutions?” program!
Earlier this year you probably set some goals and resolutions, made promises to yourself, and ended up with unmet goals and unmet resolutions. Don’t let that happen in 2009. As Zig said, you need to devise a plan. Let part of your plan be to get some help and accountability to reach your goals next year.
Cheers!

A mobile version is available too.
Good stuff. I am so bad at setting goals, this seems realistic in a way eh. Making them into steps which makes the goals seem smaller and more manageable! But my Business plans are really encouraging me to improve my goal setting skills.
Excellent as always. Goal setting and developing a plan are the basis for any success. Great information for many who struggle with moving forward with their ideas. It takes more than enthusiasm!

This is really helpful. Setting goals is something which I often struggle with, as I tend to make them either unachievable or I don’t make any at all. It’s easy to think about what you want to achieve, but unless you write it down and make some solid goals with time periods, it is unlikely that they will ever be achieved. Thanks a lot.

Zig Zigler is a legend! The problem is, whenever I hear him speak he talks about all the stuff I know I should be doing in my business but never seem to get round to. I need to stop looking at this stuff like it’s a “nice to have” and more of a necessesity if I want to grow my business to the level I want by 2012

I know my comment is a little old but stil quite relevant. I’m into martial arts (as well as IM) and last year I set my goal to get a blue belt. Well I discovered that all the goal setting in the world didn’t matter if I wasnt going to be consistent enough with training.
So this year (2011) I made sure that instead of making it just goal focused – it was action focused with the blue belt still there to achieve… so I have to train x3 per week and that WILL get me there!
My IM goals are the same – to make sure that I don’t just set the goal, I work out the work I need to do to get there!
Setting goal is necessary to get some successs in life when you have some targets in life then you make correct decisions in right time then you manage to get the result for which your are striving for
Identifying the people, groups, and organizations we need to work with – who will help us is the hard part. Sometimes we make mistake in judging the capability of people. But I do like the conversation. Thanks for the info.
