How to set and achieve your goals

Many of us know have many dreams we would love to pursue. We have short term goals and long term goals. Through many years of trial and error(mainly error) I have learned the rules to use to achieve what you want out of life. Believe me, I have had many fails in life(failed business, job layoff) but I have also accomplished many things. I have talked about fear and taking a leap of faith so I won't go into that, but once you conquer your fear of doubt you are ready to take on your dreams. 

So here are some personal rules that I go by in order to achieve my goals.

Make a list of what you would like to do.

Ask yourself..if money wasn't an option What could I see myself doing everyday?

What's stopping you from achieving your goal? Everyone has bumps in the road or things that are stopping them from doing what they love. It can be money, family issues or a combination of several things. Identify whats holding you back and work towards overcoming your obstacles. 

What can you do for yourself to achieve your goal? Everyone has a war within their selves at some point. Whether it is negative thinking or fear of failure, you must make a change within before you can accomplish your dreams. 

How long will it take you to achieve your goal? Most of us can't just up and quit our 9 to 5 jobs to purse another career. So make a plan of action. If money is something holding you back start saving. If it is a skill you need to learn to start your new path then sign up for classes. Either way, take action.

The main thing is to never stop dreaming. It is never too late to accomplish and get what you want out of life. Surround yourself with positive people who are as motivated as you are and never give up!
