Goal Setting And The Power of Now!Getting Started Is The First Step To Getting Finished! In another article I covered “The Power of Now” by Brian Tracy and if you have not already read that article I strongly urge you to do so. Thinking about “The Power of Now” got me thinking about another aspect of goal setting and that is immediacy and this is how I cam to coin the phrase “The Power of Now!”Thinking “How” to yourself is one thing but you must act and I cannot stress how important this is. Recently I found an 8” x 4” leather bound notebook I forgot I had. It was in a box in the attic gathering dust and guess what? It was chock full of great ideas for everything from book projects, training courses, personal goals, business ideas, you name it! If I were to set out to complete everything in there I believe I would need another 2 lifetimes! These were ideas and aspirations I had put onto paper many years ago and stored away when moving house. Why am I telling you this? How is this important to you achieving the goals you set for yourself? Well, after you think “How?” I want you to record the answer and then think “Now!” and do something, no matter how small to take that first step towards achievement. It may simply be picking up the phone and making a call, it may be going out to the shop and buying a piece of equipment you need or simply announcing to someone that you are going to do it. Whatever it is, use “The Power of Now” to put something into action immediately... or loose that goal forever in time... The is a saying in the business world that you may or may not have heard; “Touch a piece of paper once.” If you stop to think about this for a second it really does make sense because it forces you to deal with things with a sense of immediacy rather than putting it off and that is what I am trying to convey here. Take a step towards your goal right away, no matter how small and make the power of now really set to work for you. It's a simple idea and those are always the best kind! Once you make take that first step, keep it up, constantly review the goals you have set for yourself and every time you do, think “Now” and you cannot fail to take action and steadfastly work towards your goals, it really is all about attitude and frame of mind and once it becomes habit you will start to see immediate change for the better in your personal goal planning, setting and success. © Brian Watson - Practice Secrets
