Why are goals so important you ask? They help us to realize what we want in life so we can take the steps to achieve them.  They give us a purpose and a sense of direction.  They also give you an idea of what you need to do to move forward.

Setting goals takes some thinking but is not really hard.  You want to think of what you really want your end result to be.  This could be business or personal.  Some people want to hike the Appalachian Trail from beginning to end.  That takes time (a few months) and some planning.  There would be planning involved there.  You would be on a trail for months but cannot bring a lot of food at once.  Yeah you can wing it for part of it, but it would take planning too.

Now not everybody wants to hike the trail, many people want to succeed in life and business tho.  First you need to define what success is to you.  We all have different ideas on this.  For me it is building a successful business and to help others do the same with me.

After you define what success is to you, you will have your main goal.  Do not expect it to happen overnight, but with hard work you can do it.  Break it up into smaller goals with steps to achieve each goal.  Then you work your way up to your main goal.  Setting your goals is one of the most important things you can do for yourself.  Start planning for your success now!
