How do you work on yourself? My favorite self-help author and expert is Brian Tracy. I have read several of his books, listened to many of his audio programs, and attended two of his seminars. This is how I work on myself but I would like to share some of Brian’s ideas with you. I encourage you to read and listen to as much of his work as you can.
Brian has taught me that it is imperative to set goals for you. People who write out their goals and revisit and rewrite them often, will have a very clear understanding of where they are headed so that they can plan on how to get there. Writing out 10 goals for your career today and then reviewing and redoing these on a monthly or weekly basis, will keep you focused on what you are trying to do with your career. You goals will function like a roadmap for your life.
Be specific and clear and write in the positive present tense. For example, if your goal is to earn $100,000 per year, write I earn or I will earn $100,000 this year in my current occupation. If the goal is outrageous, don’t go there, but be realistic. If that is your first goal, then write out how you plan to earn that $100,000 this year. Do the same for your position, location, level of authority, and all aspects of your career.
For each goal, list at least three ways that you will accomplish that goal. Have a plan on how to get where you want to go. List three ways that will lead you to success, and then started putting those plans into action. Make each action step realistic and achievable and work on them regularly.
