3 QUESTIONS THAT LEAD TO SUCCESS [TYPE THE SENDER COMPANY ADDRESS] Success in life and in business requires the ability to purposely move in the direction of our goals. Simply put, goals are the vehicle of success. The art of setting and successfully achieving goals is a fairly advanced life skill. But because it is a skill, it can be learned, and mastered, by anyone who is willing to take the time to work at it. Successful goal setting Almost all worthwhile pursuits involve a planning stage. If we underestimate the importance of this stage, there’s usually a price to pay for our negligence. On the other hand, if we use the planning stage wisely, our chance of success skyrockets. This is one of the areas where I commonly see motivated people set themselves up for disappointment. When we rush into something before we have a realistic understanding of what’s involved, we can quickly get in over our heads. If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail! ~Benjamin Franklin Do goal setting and planning take away from spontaneity? I am a big fan of pursuing our passions and sometimes that involves acting on gut instinct and being spontaneous. I also appreciate how easy it is to get so bogged down in the planning stage that nothing ever happens. So why am I touting the importance of goal setting and planning? The answer is simple, because I like to use all the tools in my tool box. There’s a time for planning and a time for making quick decisions based on gut feelings. There’s also a time to create opportunity and a time to act fast when opportunity presents itself. One does not exclude the other, they are both valuable skills for creating success and they both have their place. 3 Questions that always apply There are three fundamental questions that we should always answer before pursuing any goal in life or in business. These questions are a vital first step if you want your efforts to lead to success. I love to challenge myself, how about you? Of course, mastering the art of goal setting involves more than these three questions, but they are the perfect place to start. Currently, I am doing the 100 day challenge and getting very focused on the realization of some monumental goals. Have you ever wondered what you could accomplish in 100 days?
