Living by design or chance?

DAY 2/STEP 2 in Goal Setting Series

What is your CLEAR PLAN? 

CLICK HERE TO READ DAY 1/STEP 1

Welcome. If you stumbled upon this page I encourage you to get more details about what the first step is; which I’ll tell you now is: Write it down. So many people keep things in their heads and frankly, I will tell you that this doesn’t work as well as writing things down or at all. Plus there is something that happens to your mind and your body in the act of writing things. Get a pen or pencil which you really like and start writing things. Before reading further, please read more about STEP 1 from what I presented on DAY 1 here.

Live by design and on purpose

We can live our life either by design, or by chance. As famous success philosopher Jim Rohn put it, "If you don't design your own life, chances are you'll fall into someone else’s plan. And guess what they planned for you? Not much." People living with no goals rarely have any purposes. Without purposes, what’s the point of living?

Create a concrete plan

A study in the British Journal of Health Psychology found that 91% of people who planned their intention to exercise by writing down when and where they would exercise each week ended up following through, while only 35% achieved the same result relying on just motivation. Many similar studies have come to the same conclusion: if we clearly state when and where we are going to take the action, we are much more likely to stick to our goal.

As I mentioned before, just doing these 7 steps will put you farther in life than you can ever imagine; in more money, more of all that life offers. So be sure to do all 7 of these steps. Don’t just read these steps; implement them into your daily routine. Think about it, Jim Rohn really was right!

Our 7 days together and putting these 7 steps to use may be all you need or want to have to do with goal setting; that’s fine and I’m glad to present them. However, some readers will want to continually improve. If that’s “you”, I recommend a continual training and accountability system like this one: GoalsOnTrack. It’s a systematic approach to achieving goals and getting results. Find out more about it HERE.

I hope you got something from this. Write down your goals, create that plan and I’ll see you on the next step (or go here to get all the steps).

Ter Scott!
