Jack Canfield in his book, The Success
Principles, states that “Vague goals produce vague results.” There is no
place in your life for vague goals. Your subconscious mind will fulfill
whatever it focuses on and if your goals are ambiguous or incomplete, then
you will achieve results that are also ambiguous or incomplete. You want to
make your goal as detailed as possible in order to achieve the specific
results that you desire. A specific goal is one that is clearly defined in
such a way that anyone could come by and understand what you intend to
accomplish. Your goal should contain a detailed description of what you want
to accomplish; when you want to accomplish it by; and the action(s) you will
take to accomplish it.
Bad example: “I want to write a book.”
Good example: “I want to write a book on time management that is at least
200 pages in length and have it done by December 16th. I’ll commit myself to
writing at least 2 pages every workday until I reach completion.” |
