I love setting goals! But I love achieving goals more. I know that some people don’t want to set goals because they are afraid of failing. I am going to share with you a simple seven step process for achieving your goals.
Years ago after my grandfather had passed away, I was looking through his Bible, and the one passage that was highlighted more than any other was the passage below. Philippians 3:13. It was clearly his favorite scripture. It has become one of mine as well.
Philippians 3:13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
I believe that God gives us dreams, goals, plans, ambition and determination to fulfill them.
I want to share with you a very simple seven step process by Brian Tracy to establish and complete the goals that you believe are most important to you.
