3 secrets that will lead you to the achievement of financial goals
“If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy, and inspires your hopes.”
American entrepreneur and multimillionaire Andrew Carnegie
The goal implies constant development, a movement forward. Yet obstacles, difficulties, potential dangers can often stand in the way. It is important not to give up, never lose faith in yourself and continue striving to achieve the result. Risks can be avoided by applying these three time-tested methods.
Secret №1. Set the right goals
What is the right goal? It is a task that is:
- specific. Define it as clearly as possible;
- measurable. Formulate it using numbers: volume, percent, ratio;
- doable. Analyze whether your goal is realistic;
- limited in time. Set a deadline for getting the result.
For example, your goal is to increase your income. The correct wording will look like this: “Find a new high-paying job until the end of the year and increase your income to $4,000 per month.”
Secret №2. Assess resources
To achieve the goal, certain resources are needed:
- finances. Cash, assets, other valuables, etc.
- like-minded people. Colleagues, friends, relatives.
- information. Know-how, methods of solving problems, software, methodology, databases, documents, understanding of where to get the right amount of money.
- material resources. Property, land, cars, equipment, office equipment, consumables.
- time. Occasionally it becomes a critical factor, as time cannot be bought.
Assess what funds you already have and think about where you can get the missing ones — then the path to your dream will become more direct and safer.
For example, your goal is to find a high-paying job and increase your income. The minimum that will be required is a perfectly compiled CV that will interest a potential employer. It is also advisable to collect as much information as possible about the company in which you are going to work and its management. And, of course, dress appropriately for the interview. It should be understood that every little thing you take into account can play a key role in the success of the whole undertaking.
Secret №3. Have a clear plan of action
A big goal often seems too complex and unapproachable, so it must be divided into parts. Smaller sub-tasks do not require processing a large amount of information. By completing them, you spend less resources and achieve results faster.
Setting a financial goal by dividing it into smaller tasks has an excellent motivational effect. When you complete one, albeit a small task, you will feel satisfied and motivated to move on.
Let’s get back to our example: the desire to find a new job. One of the priority sub-tasks on the way to this goal may be the following: arrange an interview at least at one company this week.
