My Number One Tip

GOALS, GOALS GOALS, oh and did I say already GOALS!!!!!

If we want to achieve anything in life we must set our self Goals. They must always challenge our abilities but they must also be achievable. Don't set a goal such as I will go down to the shop in five minutes and buy a DVD that would be a useless goal and unless you have the flu and are in bed, that would hardly test your abilities. The opposite is also true don't set a goal such as I will earn £100,000 by this time tomorrow unless you are Bill Gates then you will most likely fall massively short of achieving your goal.

What kind of goals you should set yourself depend on how an accomplished person you are and will vary massively from person to person depending on your knowledge, Income levels and Occupation. I can not stress the fact that the goals you should be setting yourself should be difficult to achieve but on the other hand achievable.

Why should we set Goals to increase our confidence levels? Simple although it may not already be obvious to you, the more we achieve then the more confident of ourselves we shall become. Once we set these goals they should be planned out, we must plan on how we will achieve the outcome that we long for. If we can plan well we will have more chance to achieve our goal. Once we have achieved our goal it is time to set a new goal and keep going after that. After you achieve your 1st goal you should already notice your confidence increasing.

So what happens if I fail with my goal? Sadly your confidence will take a knock there is no way of avoiding this. But know that everyone fails no matter who they are. The most successful people fail, The entrepreneur 'theo Pathitis' failed in business before, but initial failure is NOT permanent. If at 1st you fail try and try again until you succeed. If after 3 or more times you still fail, look at your goal and maybe it could be worth making it easier to achieve. It maybe that the goal is temporally out of your reach, so try and make your goal easier to achieve. If you set a target of increasing your income by£5000 in one month either increase the time limit by one or more months or maybe adjust the amount to £2500 or £1000. If you pass this time it should make your initial goal easier to accomplish.

So go out and set yourself some goals not only does it increase your confidence ten fold (when you succeed) it can also be a lot of fun.
