Career and Goals Setting

“Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible.” - Tony Robins

As you start off 2015 setting goals and thinking about your career be encouraged and reach for the impossible. Donald Trump said “You have to think anyway, so why not think big?" Goal setting is a very imperative and needed skill to be successful in life and career. When you don’t have goals you are just wondering through life settling for whatever life may throw at you. When you are goal oriented you live life with a purpose reaching and aiming for a target.

Goals

Setting goals helps you decide where you want to go in life and what you want to achieve. You know where you have to focus your energy, efforts and time. You'll be able to notice distractions that are hindering you in your process of obtaining your goal. Successful businessman, top-level athletes, and high achievers in all fields all set goals. One great all time basketball player Larry Bird who played for the Boston Celtics, winning three NBA championships and two NBA Finals MVP awards.
Larry Bird was a 12-time NBA All-Star and was named the league's Most Valuable Player (MVP) three consecutive times (1984–1986). He would practice his set- shot hours after practice his goal would make a 100 shots after practice. Goals is what helps builds self-confidence. Goals gives you directions in life and a way to measure your progress.

Cultivate a mind of success
Cultivating a mind of success is a life of continuing learning and developing new skills. You have to read books surround yourself with successful people. Successful people all have one thing in common and that is the attitude of continuing to learn by reading books, magazines, taking classes, going to seminars, conferences, and training. They never become satisfied with their personal growth. They are willing to learn more. You have to invest in yourself. The greatest collection a person can have is his own personal library.

Careers

Decide what career you want in life and go for it. You are never too old to go after your dreams. You have to remove that fear that it is too late or you have wasted too much time. If you already have a career decide what level of success you want to reach and develop a plan to reach that level. Decide your educational path: what classes you need to take, what school you want to attend, and what skills are needed to help you reach your goal.
