Learning how to set goals is an art. Learn why setting goals is a necessity. Here are 7 Must-have conditions to set goals.
1. State your goal in positive terms.
People often set a goal in terms of what they don’t want! Are you ready to state positively every goal you want to achieve?
2. Make sure the goal can be maintained and self-initiated The goal doesn’t depend on the attitude of your neighbor, on the behavior of your wife or family. The success of your goal must depend on you, and you alone.
3. Your goal must be sensory specific
Act as if the goal is already achieved. Make a very clear image, in rich details, and you will be so enthusiastic that you will automatically attract the solution.
4. State the context of the goal.
“Where and when will my goal be achieved?” The answer can be obvious for some goals but not at all for others. Try to be as specific as possible.
5. Run a Quality Control check on the goal to ensure balance in all areas of your home/work life.
Above all, you don’t want to lose your balance. Step back and look at all areas of your life. Is your goal worth it?
6. State the resources needed to achieve the goal: what is the price to pay?
There is always a price to pay, for everything. When you set a worthy goal, there is always some kind of sacrifice to make. In this step, you will define all that you will need, in terms of energy, time and money.
7. State the value and the consistency of the goal.

When you properly set a goal with this model, two important things occur. Your very (whole) neurology and physiology are both instructed to drive you towards obtaining your desired goal.
Again, the three keys to living without limits have always been the same. They are concentration, clarity, and competence. When you set crystal clear goals, and you respect the 7 must-have conditions, you can literally live without limits, can’t you?
Why do I want to reach this goal? Is this goal in harmony with my vision, values and beliefs? Set a new goal until you feel it is in harmony with your mission, vision or passion.
