The Secret to Successful Goal Setting

August 21, 2008 · Written by Heather Juma

 Want to know the secret behind successful goal setting?  Passion!

Think about it.  How inspired are you to achieve a goal if you’re not passionate about it?  Are you going to have the “whatever it takes” attitude if you don’t have passion?

Probably not.  And that is why most people fail to achieve their goals, because there is no passion behind them.  Think about the athletes in the Olympics, how could these
remarkable individuals achieve their goals and dreams if they were not fueled by passion?  They wouldn’t be able to endure the years of hard work, sacrifice and training if they weren’t
passionate would they?  It seems that we see the most passionate individuals in the word of sports and entertainment.

This is one of the reasons I encourage women to start businesses that they are passionate about, because you will have challenges and obstacles that may seem insurmountable along
the way, if you’re fueled by passion you will stay the course and you won’t quit when the going gets tough.

Sure you want to make alot of money and become a Millionaire Diva, but you also want to do something each day that makes you happy and gives your life purpose.  This is living
a life of passion and prosperity, and the two do go hand in hand.  Let me ask you: What do you love to do?  What are you good at?  What do you think you were born to do?  Take 
some time to think about these questions and you’ll find your passion and purpose in life.  Then brainstorm a little bit and you’ll be able to figure out a way to develop your passion into
a business.

My purpose statement for my life is: To inspire, educate and empower women to create a life of passion and prosperity.

Now it’s your turn, what is your purpose statement.  Write it down and use it to fuel your goals.  If your business is based upon your passion how could you possibly fail?  You won’t.

Each and every one of you has a special “gift” to share with the world and usually you can discover your “gift” by exploring your passion.  Explore your passion, define your purpose and
then take steps every single day to achieve your goals and soon you will be living your dream life … a life of passion and prosperity.

 
If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy, and inspires your hopes- Andrew Carnegie
