As for goal setting I think Napoleon Hill outlined it best in Think And Grow Rich.
The steps outlined by Hill are specific to making money but are extremely relevent to any goals you set for yourself.
1. Determine exactly how much money you desire – don’t be vague.
2. Determine exactly what you intend to do in order to earn the money you desire.What value are you going to offer? Remember, there is no free lunch.
3. Establish an exact date for when you plan to possess the amount of money you desire.
4. Establish a definite plan for achieving your desire, and start right this moment, whether or not you feel you’re ready.
5. Write out a clear statement of how much money you are going to acquire (the amount from step 1), what you intend to do in exchange for the money (the value from step 2), the date you’ll acquire it by (the date from step 3), and your specific, actionable plan for reaching the desired monetary goal (the plan from step 4).
6. Twice daily, read your written statement out loud to yourself. Do it once in the morning, and once at night. While you read the statement, visualize yourself executing on your plan and visualize the money in your possession.
Many complete the first 5 steps but fail to really commit and follow through with step 6. This step is in my mind the most important as it creates a burning desire to achieve your goals.
The only person between your goals and ultimate success is you. Own them and make them reality.
