Nurture Your Wealth

Setting Goals is a Way of Life!
• Throughout our entire lives we have been living a life of goals. I say this because our lives are based on rewards and punishments. Just take a quick look at the following aspects of life: Community/Laws, Schooling, Jobs/Working, Politics, etc. Since our lives and aspects of our lives, are built around rewards and punishments it’s understandable and logical why someone would want to set goals to be rewarded.
    We have been creating, setting, planning, and acting upon goals since we were children. The actions or thoughts may have been subconscious but they were still present. As we continue to grow and age it is important to set goals to attain things we want in life. These things can be emotional, physical, spiritual. I don’t mention material things because those are usually the easiest things to receive. True depth and knowledge within one’s self (self-help) may be one of the hardest things to achieve and is definitely worth trying for.
    These following goal setting tips will help you nurture your future and continue to grow towards building wealth. I have outline 4 main criteria which goals should meet:
  1. Goals must be Attainable
  2. Goals must be Measurable
  3. Goals must be Meaningful
  4. Goals must be Time Sensitive
• 1. Goals must be Attainable
In other words, don’t set the bar too high where reaching your goals are either impossible or will take an extraordinary amount of effort. However, they should be challenging enough to expand your current comfort zone.
• 2. Goals must be Measurable
Goals must have a specific way that you can “keep score”. Having goals like “I will do better” don’t qualify because you can’t quantify them.
• 3. Goals must be Meaningful
When you achieve certain goals, they should bring about a sense of accomplishment and some sort of positive change within you, no matter how small that change might be.
• 4. Goals must be Time Sensitive
Goals must be time sensitive because you need to have a sense of urgency to reach it. Otherwise, you might find yourself procrastinating on getting to that next level. I’ve personally lost track of how many times I could have completed important deliverables if I had a better action plan in place and buckled down.
