Goals are vision with feet. Goals are set of specific, measurable steps to achieve the vision.Without a goal programme, a vision is only a wishful thinking.A vision must be permanent, but a goal should be flexible.
Benefits of goal setting
1.Goals simplify the decision making process
2.Goals tone up mental and physical
health:Without direction in your life, you are vulnerable to negative thought pattern.
3.Goals help you realise and enjoy the feeling of accomplishment:What you cannot measure, you
cannot monitor.
4.Goals deliver the achiever from the deception and desire to applause.
5.Goals deliver you from living in the past.
6.Goals generate respect.
7.Goal setting will save you from crisis management:You switch from fire fighting to fire prevention.
A goal without a deadline is only a wishful. The only difference between being a dreamer and a goalsetter is adding a deadline to the dream.
