Do you want to learn my goal setting strategy for success? Setting goals is an important part of our everyday lives. At the end of the day, it is the only way that we get anything done.
The research is clear. People who set goals are more successful. However, if you don’t know how to set goals properly, it can have the opposite effect.
Unfortunately, a lot of people never achieve their goals. When they don’t see any progress, they get discouraged and give up. Sure enough, they feel like a failure for doing so which diminishes their desire to set any new goals in the future.
It all comes down to learning how to set goals properly, and I’m here to show you how. In the words of Tom Landry, “Setting a goal is not the main thing. It is deciding how you will go about achieving it and sticking with that plan.”

Before you can start setting goals, you need to understand the types of goals that exist. I believe that there are two types of goals:
Results-Oriented
It is important that you have goals that are focused towards a specific result, because ultimately a result is what you are after. However, I believe that focusing solely on the end result is a big mistake. In order to achieve the results that you desire, you need to pay attention to the process of getting there.
Process-Oriented
Process oriented-goals are little milestones that serve as signs of progress that you are on the right path. How do you expect to reach your destination if you don’t have a roadmap for getting there?
The reality is that you don’t have 100% control over whether or not you will achieve the result that you are after. You have influence, at best. All that you have control over is the process.
If you take a look at my 2017 monthly goals report you will see that I have results-oriented and process-oriented goals. The results goal that I set for myself in 2017 is to make $2 million in revenue in my business.
Keep in mind that I don't have 100% control over that result, but I do have control over the actions that I can take that will lead me to that end goal.
For example, some of my process-oriented goals for achieving my results-oriented goal were as follows:
Launch my Life Mastery Accelerator program
Launch my Online Business Mastery Accelerator program
Create my new PLM website
If you want to achieve true, lasting success in life, you need to focus on and enjoy the process. This is my goal setting strategy for success.
Whatever result that you have for yourself, you need to break it down into smaller chunks and celebrate your wins along the way. Oftentimes people are making progress, but they aren’t aware of it because they don’t take the time to enjoy the process.
Research supports this intuition, showing that people need to feel like they are making meaningful progress in their work. Celebrating wins is one way of doing so.
Every time that you achieve a process-oriented goal, celebrate yourself! When you do, you will be more likely to continue to make progress towards achieving the result that you desire.
When you shift your perspective and master the process, you improve yourself and move closer towards becoming the person that you desire to be.
In the words of Henry David Thoreau, “What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.” Learn to enjoy the process and the person that you become on the road to crushing your goals.
