Here’s the thing that the books don’t tell you…

We’re reaching the end of my series on goals. This post will summarise everything we’ve discussed so far in a nutshell, so that you have a single point of reference. Come here if you need to jog your memory without going through all the previous 9 articles.

In the post about why goals work we identified that the key reason they are so effective is that they help you make decisions. So this tip is simple – every time you make a decision, consider your goals and whether the choice you are going to make will further your progress towards that goal.

Last time we looked at how regularly reviewing your goals and the steps you’re taking towards them are the best way to keep yourself on track. This time I want to give you another tip for achieving your goals as quickly as possible.

I would recommend sharing your goals. Tell other people about them. Don’t necessarily blurt it out as soon as you introduce yourself to someone new, but be prepared to tell people about it as and when it seems appropriate. Definitely tell your close friends and loved ones. Maybe tell other people if it crops up in conversation.
