]]>A study conducted by Harvard Business stated that 83% population do not have goals. Out of the remainder, 14% have goals and 3% have written goals.
The 14% population is 10 times more succesful than the 83% population and the 3% population is 3 times more successful than the 14% with unwritten goals.
Nobody got a degree in Achieving Dreams from their womb. People have tried and tested many ways to achieve goals and there few factors that differentiates an achiever from a non-achiever.
- Smaller Goals
Smart ‘goal setting’ is the key differentiator between succes and failure. Sometimes choosing impractical goals can damage your confidence. Because it creates a stigma of failure within you. To avoid that, choose a goal you think is achievable and the one closest to you heart. A goal you really care about will bring you closer to the fruition. Achieving a smaller goal will boost your morale for bigger ones to come.
- Reward yourself after fulfilling your commitment
To achieve goals you have to demonstrate unwavering persistence. You have to make a promise to yourself that ‘no matter what’ you will follow through. Once you have made that commitment you should adhere to it as if your life depends on it. Deprive yourself something you love beyond bounds and reward yourself once you are done with your commitment. Doing so will strengthen your resolve to fulfill it. That self proclaimed reward will act as a fuel to sustain your drive.
- Breaking it into daily mini-goals
Goals are intimidating. They become all the more overwhelming when the stakes are high. To overcome that, divide you goal into daily sub-goals. This will help you contain your insecurities about future. It will make you focus on today’s task. Do something everyday that brings closer to your goal.
- Accept the Fears and move ahead anyway.
Fear will play part in everybody’s life before success knocks on their door. Accept that fear is inevitable. But with more courage and experience in life, you will learn that ‘fear’ is the greatest illusion of all.
As Paulo Coelho famously said “Fear of suffering is greater than actual suffering”. Stay in touch with the excitement of success and you will find fear losing it’s fire in your mind. The best way to over come fear is to stop thinking and start acting towards success.
All you have to do is to break the pattern of failure once. After that it becomes your second nature.
Goal setting and Goal achieving is an art and you master it experience. It’s not something you are born with. Goal setting is the arsenal of super achievers.
It’s their life blood of success. They take it more seriously than others and that’s what sets them apart from others.
Invest your creative energies in this art and life will surprise you with all the accolades you ever desired.

Key steps:
- People first attitude
One needs to start networking with the selfless principle of helping others. A successful person works towards benefiting others first. Invest yourself with the spirit of generosity. An honest effort will give you more returns in future.
- Learning about people
Learn more about the people you want in your network. Researching about them might give you interesting insights about them. Doing so will help you connect better when you meet them. Not to mention the increase in recall value of your meeting.
- True intent of Friendship
Any kind of networking approach that keeps score will never work for anybody. The whole idea of networking should derive out of pure intent of friendship. We don’t use our real friends, do we? That’s no friendship at all. It’s all about building long lasting relationships that promises mutual growth.
- Get over fake small talk
No one likes people who start with silly small talk and end up blatantly asking for a favor. That’s impolite and unpleasant. It doesn’t make the other person want to help you. Be open and honest about the conversation. Stop boring people and let the Ben Franklin (link it) effect work on it’s own.
- Work with Mentors
Business Networking is an ongoing learning process. The best way to learn is to learn from another person. Surround yourself with people who are more successful than you. These are the people who will help you connect with more people. But, more than that, they will positively influence you to build greater and stronger relationships.
To build long lasting trust you need to start networking right now, when you need the least. Asking favours when you ‘need’ is like buying insurance after the accident. Invest yourself in networking now so that you can reap the benefits later.
Accelerate your career with collective power of people. Create a blend of many minds into a Mastermind group. Think of it as a collection of many computers connected together to create a Super Computer. One that can solve many complex problems with greater ease.
