Investing in Your Goals
__________________________________
Question: what time is the best time to set a goal?
Answer: Anytime!!!!!...
There is something about "new beginnings", "a fresh start" or even just hitting the "reset" button that can fuel so much enthusiasm...yet the key is to keep that enthusiasm alive until that goal achieved.
I have developed my own personal Goal Setting Model called...INVEST...when you set a goal I believe that it must have certain components and/or personal elements that I call "Investments" . I have given a brief description of each element I think is important to this Model and questions to help you be clear on your own personal goal setting path.
Have a look...

- Inward: is it coming from "Within"?...sometimes an external drive towards a goal can be too "cosmetic", easily disposable and less authentic to who you really are.
- New: is it a New goal or do you still have some unfinished business from a previous goal? You would be surprised how hitting the "Reset-Recommit" button can bring a feeling of "New and Improved".
- Visual: can you see it? When you close your eyes can you see yourself accomplishing this goal? A picture is worth a thousand words.
- Emotional: when you visualize your goal, does it feel right? Is it important to you and are you excited about it?
- Serious: Are you serious about your goal? How serious you are will directly influence your commitment to your goal and impact your outcome.
- Timeline: what is an APPROPRIATE amount of time to accomplish this goal? Be fair and realistic to your self and entertain any events or things that may interrupt your pace towards your goal...make a list and be prepared for alternate "routes"...Don't let anything get in your way!
