Goals: Three Papers to Review Every Morning

In order to achieve your major goal, you will need a clear plan. First, write out your major goal sheet, similar to the way Napoleon Hill and Brian Tracy instructed. Include:
1) State your major goal, 2) Lay out your plan for achieving your goal, 3) List the benefits of achieving this goal (i.e. why you want it), 4) Your current status (be honest), 5) The deadline you set for yourself to achieve your goal, 6) List at least seven obstacles to achieving your goal, 7) List the knowledge you will have to acquire to achieve your goal, and 8) A list of the people who will help. If you have to make adjustments to your plan, that is fine. Make adjustments as needed. But I would not change your major goal.
Second, fill up a page with your greatest achievements. Include things like awards in school or at your job or financial accomplishments, personal accomplishments, sports accomplishments, etc, etc. Fill up one page with your biggest achievements, anything will do! Review this sheet after you review your major goal statement. Sounds kinda wild, but it is a good thing to do before undertaking a challenging goal. (I got this idea from Larry Waschka in his book, "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Getting Rich".)
Third, ask yourself this question: Why have you not achieved your major goal already? Write down every reasonable explanation you can think of. Make sure you avoid the mistakes you made before and grasp opportunity the next time. Learn from your mistakes.
Type up these three papers and review them every morning. Doing so will keep you focused on your major goal and give you the confidence and motivation to achieve it.
Good luck!!
