Zig Ziglar - Setting Goals

It’s true that if you don’t know where you are going, you could end up anywhere.

If you have an ‘away from’ attitude (such as I hate this job and have to get away from it) then you could end up worse off - even though you achieved the goal of getting away, the new job might be worse.

Adopting a ‘towards’ mentality is the key.
Working towards a goal will get you away from the crappy job, dodgy boyfriend, bad neighbourhood, etc., but also gets you a better job, boyfriend, home, whatever.

In these videos Zig Ziglar talks about setting goals.

Here is the formula he gives:

1. write it down
2. put a date on it
3. list obstacles you’re going to face
4. identify people, places, organisations and resources you’ll need
5. spell out plan of action
6. identify what you need to know to make it happen
7. identify ‘what’s in it for me’
