“It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.”
― Ernest Hemingway
Can Setting Goals Really Determine Your Successful Future?
This is a fundamental question that each person should ask themselves in their businesses and lives in general. Its importance is that it allows the individual to figure out whether they are on the best track at the moment and also what should be done if the goals are not yet met. For example, If you are attending a local gym daily and after months of doing what’s required you don’t see the results you were expecting you can the re-evaluate whether you still visit your local gym as often you had hoped to do or whether what you are doing at the gym is being done effectively and if not, implement some changes. As such, can setting goals really determine your successful future? I believe that it does.
When growing a business, setting goals is essential to guarantee success, and goes hand in hand with having a personal development plan. Business owners should ask themselves fundamental questions like the ones listed below.
Where did your business begin and how far can you say it has come?
How far are you still aiming and are you satisfying your personal hopes and dreams?
These questions will help you figure out what needs doing and what you should implement to attain success.
Remember that success is an extensive journey that should be slowly taken, and not an instant destination. For instance you may have started by taking simple steps in your business and later move onto some complex but necessary steps like lead generation.
Your success will then be a series of many small events occurring daily in both your business and life. The time you take for attaining success also depends on the effort you put in.
How to gain what you desire faster.
Sometimes you can set some goals and you find that it is taking too long for you to attain these goals. This has happened to most people as even those with the best plans and intentions have also failed to achieve what they really desire. What generally happens is that when the first roadblock or obstacles pop up, most people give up.
The best solutions to avoid this is to plan ahead. For instance, Creating a plan on how to marketing your business or having a lead generation plan can assist you in growing your business when you encounter the roadblock of low number of customers and recruits.
Success is only one goal away
A key beginning point of success in any business, is deciding precisely what you desire and making a plan to reach there.As an added inspiration to get you think about what it is that you want to achieve I have added a video from Tony Robbins on precisely that. Set goals and then go after them.
Entrepreneurs should set realistic goals that they can achieve. You should have determination and a solid marketing plan for succeeding. Any realistic goal that you set will propel you closer to success.
You can succeed!
You can do it if you are truly committed. Talk to other entrepreneurs, coaches, small business owners in your field and find out what marketing systems they use to achieve their breakthroughs. Setting goals can really help you to achieve your successful future but also requires the necessary action and strategy to realise these them.
To your abundant success

Goals are extremely important. Without them we are wandering aimlessly. Great post.
Hey Brenda, thanks for sharing this post. It’s definitely a great one! Love the Tony Robbins video. He’s definitely made a huge impact in my life. Great message and insights here for the weekend. Have a great one! 😀
Love this post! Anthony Robbins is one of a kind.
Awesome post, Brenda. I love the video by Tony Robbins. He’s so right, you have to know why you’re doing something because if you don’t have enough reasons, you will not make things happen.
Thanks for sharing.
It is vital to have your goals written down that most people won’t do if you want your dreams become a reality. Thanks for sharing this valuable info on your blog Brenda!
Hi Brenda, I agree with what you’ve shared here in this article. I think that getting clear and establishing goals and also tasks to accomplishing those goals is VITAL to our success in any business.
Also I <3 that Tony Robbins video. Great share!
I think many people don’t understand how important goal setting is. To state a desire but not follow it up with a plan is a sure fire road to disaster.
When I have a new team member start, I always review their objective against their preferred timescales and their weekly and daily commitment. It’s amazing how often they do not correlate AT ALL!! Goals need to be realistic with a daily action plan.
Great post as ever Brenda,
Nicky
Great article Brenda. Goals are critical to success… they make us effective and give our lives purpose and direction. Remember this; “Life is IMAGES of the mind expressed”… we think in pictures so make sure your goal setting creates vivid images of the person you want to become, life you want to live and legacy you want to leave.
Thanks for sharing this Drew – I love all your comment which always add value and most people can use and apply in their lives.
Appreciated 🙂
I’m always talking about goals… moreso to remind myself than to share with others. It is important to have those goals in front of you to keep you focused.
Great tips, it helps to breakthrough your goals and always set higher ones. Thanks Brenda.
Thanks Alecia – I appreciate your comments.
What’s amazing Brenda, is just how many people don’t have goals in life, or if they did, they’ve long since given up on achieving them! And it’s always great to watch a bit of Tony! 🙂
Hi Brenda,
Great Post, and of course, great Video.
I am a firm believer of Goal Setting, so I thoroughly enjoyed your post.
Nice work!
Hey Brenda, thanks for this post. I strongly believe in goal setting. Without goals, you cant have a clear focus of where you are headed.
