How Big is the Vision of Your Goal?

January 20th, 2012

The Success Track: In case you missed it, the theme for this month is using positive anticipation to support your goal setting strategy. Having a clear and exciting vision of the goal you want to achieve will drive the motivation to support your positive attitude for success.

I always ask clients to write a paragraph or two about the goal they want to achieve. The vision becomes more exciting and attainable when they use emotionally descriptive words to paint a big bright picture of how their life will be by reaching the goal.

>Is your goal plan written down?
>Is your vision big, bold and exciting?
>Is your motivation stoked as you read it?

Remember, when you write down your goals and plans it allows you to refer to them often and pump up your enthusiastic anticipation.

For a step-by-step guide on how to create and maintain the fire in your motivation, follow the 7 simple steps in my book The Success Habit Secret.
