Goal Setting Understanding Goal Setting Like Henry Ford Did

Everyone knows what a great success Henry Ford was. The odds are that you have probably been in a car with his name on it more than once in your lifetime. You can t become as successful as Henry Ford without understanding the proper way to set goals.

Henry Ford was on the cutting edge of technology in his day. He was a visionary with big plans. You probably have much less weight on your shoulders than Henry Ford did, but you may still be having problems with achieving the goals that you have set. So how do you achieve those great things?Henry Ford gave a sneak peak into how he sets his goals when he said, Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs. You see, he had huge goals in front of him but he divided things up into smaller, easier jobs. This seems so simple but, how many times have you put more pressure on yourself than needed because you set a huge goal without breaking it down to smaller, more manageable goals?If you have a goal to earn $5,000 more per month than you are earning right now, break it down into smaller goals. For instance, set your first mini-goal at earning an extra $500 per month. Once you have achieved that, you will have acquired the skills to set another mini-goal of earning an extra $1,000 per month. Keep this up until you reach your larger goal of earning an extra $5,000 per month.

In following Henry Ford s advice, you will prevent yourself from getting discouraged if you aren t able to hit your big goal right away. Learn from people who are more successful than you are at setting and achieving goals. If you do, you will find that things in your life will move much faster than you thought they could.
