I've read a ton of books by successful people in all walks of life.
I've heard personal development people give their advice on achieving goals.
After hearing and reading all of this, I've decided that achieving goals for 2010 will come down to just 5 simple steps:
1. Pick a challenging but realistic goal.
Know where you want to go, what you want to achieve, what you want to do.
If you don't have a clear goal, how will you ever achieve anything meaningful?
2. Come up with a good plan and a timeline to reach that goal.
How are you going to achieve this goal? When do you want to accomplish this by?
Without the "how" and the "when" parts your goal is just a wish.
Look and discover what others who have achieved similar goals did to achieve them. What parts can you duplicate?
3. Work your plan.
Only your plan + action = results.
4. Invite/Recruit others to help you achieve your goal(s).
Many other people are looking for direction and ways to use their talents and passions to achieve something meaningful. Why not invite some others to help you reach your goal?
5. Have a person to be accountable to.
Many of us WANT to achieve many different things, but without someone checking in on us most of us keep putting off what we SAY want to achieve!
You need to find someone who can kindly - in a non-pressured, but consistent way - check in with you and ask you if you're achieving what you say you want to.
Just having someone who knows what our goals and plans are, and having them check in with us, can be the encouragement/incentive we need to actually get things done!
When we set and achieve goals we're emulating God.
God has never done anything without already having a goal and a plan in mind!
If you really want to achieve your goals for your student ministry in 2010, then try these 5 simple steps. You'll be surprised what you can achieve when you do!
