Many of us set goals and often we focus on those goals to the point where we neglect other areas of life. On the other hand we may not realize that setting a goal and achieving that goal can have a positive impact on areas of our life.

Basically we set goals for one, two or even three areas in our life and neglect the other important areas. unknowingly we set ourselves up for potential failure by not showing importance toward all areas of our life. These areas of life working synergistically will improve your overall life.

The 7 areas of life focus:

Zig Ziglar referred to these 7 areas as the Wheel of Life. He teaches that by focusing on these 7 areas of life and setting goals for each area you create life balance.

Achieving our goals creates fantastic growth in our lives. For example, say your goal is to start an exercise program and eat healthier. Sticking to this goal not only will make you healthier, increase your energy but it will help you intellectually, improving time with family, helping your career in turn improve your financial outcome.

The idea is that every area is equally important and if one area is neglected than your life is out of balance, lacking harmony. The objective is to evaluate your life by looking at these 7 areas, giving each area a score of 1 to 10. The lower scores will show areas that need improvement.

Than you will take the areas you want to improve and set goals for each of them. Setting goals and taking action toward them will create harmony and success in your life.

To help you set and complete your goals Zig Ziglar recommends using a 7 step process:

Step 1: Identify your Goal

Step 2: List the Benefits of Achieving Your Goal(s)

Step 3: Identify the Obstacles

Step 4: List the Skills/Knowledge Needed to Attain Your Goal(s)

Step 5: Identify the People, Groups, Organizations That Can Assist You

Step 6: Develop an Action Plan

Step 7: Set a Deadline

This is where you need to seriously ask yourself, am I where I want to be in life? What are my goals/dreams and have I achieved them? If I haven’t achieved them, why not?

Most goal setting fails because we don’t clearly define our goals and than create a clear plan to obtain them. Success magazine gives us five reasons why most people fail to reach their goals.

1. Wish List and Cross Your Fingers. You cannot simply write down a wish list on New Year’s Day, stick it in a drawer for the rest of the year and expect your life to change.

2. Clear as Mud. Your goals have to be crystal clear.

3. All Talk. Proclaiming your goal(s) is just the starting point. Now you have to create a clear plan to get there.

4. Houston We Have a Problem. You must be strong and hold yourself accountable to stay on track along your journey.

5. Lack of Reinforcements. And don’t forget about support and guidance of people and resources along the way. Think about joining a mastermind group or a FaceBook group to help you be accountable.

“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

-Albert Einstein
