Goal Writing is an Important Process for Your Next BIG Year!

By
Real Estate Agent with Sabinske & Associates, Inc. (Albertville, St. Michael)

Have you ever set down written goals?

 

If not, here are some ideas that I have used….they work!

 

I put my goals down on paper…meaning I wrote them out on the computer.  And, then I used a fancy font to make them pretty.  I put the printed page in a frame and hung it in my bathroom where I can see it every day!

 

That is a motivator. 

 

The other goal-driven idea I used was to use my first and best goal as a password for MLS. 

 

Something like Hawaii 2015 or Barcelona 2015.   That reminds you of what you are working toward, too.

 

Clipping out some photos of what you need, want or where you want to go, and sticking them on the fridge is a great motivator, too.

 

Lastly, dream.  Think about what your subconscious is telling you is the key. 

 

I wish you all success in 2014.   Now, go write those goals!

I have a motivation board in my office and one on my bathroom mirror.  Both very goal specific and helpful to me.

This is great advice.  In January, I hung my framed printed page of goals in the bedroom. Each day I wake up I am motivated to work toward great outcomes for 2014-2015. I believe that "In dreams there are no impossiblities."

The big goal for me right now is to get my house built and our current house either rented or sold. It will all be done by the end of the summer and I have daily reminder to take me in that direction.

My goals are usually fairly easy.  With my personal life up in the air most of the time, goal setting is a real challange.  But it can be done.  Now just to work it the way it needs to be done

Whether on paper or on the computer, goal writing is something that should be addressed at least monthly, if not more often.  Nice thinking, Red.

When we memorialize our goals and try to keep them uppermost in our minds....when we, as one of my mentors put it, take the elephant one bite at a time, we can make miracles happen.  I wish that for all of you!

Hi Suzanne,  I do the same things.  Constantly reminding myself what it is I want and am working for.  When I begin to believe it will happen, it usually does.

Goal setting is important; writing them down is like setting them in concrete. And that's a good thing.

Suzanne, it does make the world of difference when you write down goals, and review them monthly to be sure you are on track for a great year!

Thanks for all the great comments and ideas.  I hope that people do this every quarter at least.  Once a month is even better as you can add goals as you accomplish others!

Keeping ourselves focused on our goals...and biting off the elephant one day at a time..and staying sane in our daily lives is the best.  Thanks, Debbie, for your input.  I appreciate you so much.  Hope you are healing!
