Learning how to set effective goals is a master skill of success. Goal setting is a process that starts with a careful and deliberate consideration of what we want to achieve and requires consistent actions. We need to have well-defined steps that are in sync with the specifics of each goal. Knowing these steps and executing them is crucial to accomplishing the goals that we set for ourselves.Another important piece that a lot of us miss is that we need a reliable management and control system to operate our plan, keep us on track, measured and monitored through our journey, and through any obstacles that we may face.Goal setting, in essence, is all about drawing a map about how we are going to reach our destination and define the resources that we’ll need to arrive safely.
