But what makes it so special this year was that i actually conducted my first very own agency time and goal setting with my consultants! Right now, i have about 3 consultants with me and a couple of them will be joining later this year. My goal for this year remains the same: 8 consutlants by end of the year! I set this goal earlier this year and true enough i am gearing all my actions into achieving this goal.

Attending goal setting has always been a very fruitful session for me because each time after coming out from it, i am always feeling very motivated! Like the others, i also have my fair share of losing focus along the way but one of the ways how i get it back was through goal setting session =) I remember there was this famous saying: Motivation is like bathing. It has to be done daily! Personally i find it very true especially in my profession where you gets alot of ups and downs. Of course, the good side is that you matures alot along the way.

I will continue to work towards my goal while making sure that i will see my consultants achieving their own goal. For those who are reading, i urge you not to give up your goals easily. Life without goal is like a ship without a captain, lost in the big ocean. Hence do you want to be lost?

The choice is yours! Cheers!

Hi guys, sorry for not writing past few days. I was in Batam for my company Goal Setting. The place we went was quite good in terms of cleanliness and food. Enjoyed myself there with my whole bunch of motivating colleagues. Can really see the passion and enthusiasm in them when declaring their goals. I believe that once you have externalised your goal, you will be much more committed than those who just keep it to themselves.

This year i have also set an exciting goal for myself. That is to build up a team of 8 committed consultants who aspire to be successful and entrepreneur! I am going to set aside 8 hours per day to do interviews and to do coaching with them while still studying for my final papers in may. Once i finished my paper, i will be putting 14 hour each day to make sure each of them are working effectively and have their goal cleared by end of 31st Dec!

I am feeling very exciting about this goal because this is something that is very challenging to me especially during this period of uncertainty. I have faith in myself that i can do it and i will continue to act on this belief. I always believe that one person can lose anything but he/she must not lose his/her confidence! Because once you lose it, you may be worse off than those people working as cleaner or odd job.

Enough of saying, i MUST TAKE ACTIONS! Have already embarked on various plans on recruitment and now just need to monitor closely and evaluate my strategy to see if it is working. I will do whatever it takes to groom 8 consultants successfully!

Have you ever experienced setting resolutions that you never achieved? Are you already getting sick of having resolutions because it never come true? Are you already feeling lazy when trying to set resolution? If you have answered ‘yes’ to all the questions above, then keep reading to see how i share with you the secret to a whole new revolution!

First of all, let us understand the meaning of resolution and goals? According to wikipedia,  new year resolution is a committment that an individual makes to a project or the reforming of a habit, often a lifestyle change that is generally interpreted as advantageous while a goal or objective consists of a projected state of affairs which a person plans or intends to achieve or bring about — a personal or organizational desired end-point in some sort of assumed development. Many people endeavor to reach goals within a finite time by setting deadlines.

Therefore if you have been failing to achieve your resolutions then the good news is that you are not lousy. You just need to set goals instead of resolutions! If you can see the difference, you will realise that the main issue is that a goal focus on timelines and desired end point whereas resolutions makes people focus on changing a habit or lifestyle.

So the question is how to set goals that can excite us every day and keep us motivated to achieve it? If i can share, the formula is very simple: Specific, Measurable, Action-oriented, Realistic and Time-targeted objectives (SMART) From there, make it as a habit by writing it down in a book for 21 days. Most important, this goal MUST EXCITED you! This goal must be able to stirr the emotions in your mind and the goal got to be a MUST and not just a WANT. After that, i’m very sure that the goals that you set will be drill deeply in your mind and sub consciously, you will direct all your actions towards achieving it.

One example of me setting a goal was the first year when i started out this career. During that time, i told myself that i want to be a rookie consultant in my agency. So i sat down with my boss, Merry Riana, to find out more about my target and how i can achieve it(Realistic-checking). After that session, i am determined to make it happen. I set my target to be a top rookie consultant(Specific) in one years time (Time) with a minimium standard of production(Measurable). I even set out what are the activities(Action-Oriented) that im going to do if i’m serious to clear my goal.

With everything on hand, the next things that i do was to write down the reasons for my goal every morning the moment i woke up and night time just before i sleep. i wrote down every single reasons on world that i can think of and continued this routine for 21 days (no more no less). Basically i sleep and breath my goals and each morning i was always feeling excited to work towards it no matter how tired i am. After 3 weeks of writing, everything that i do simply just geared towards my top rookie goals.

Guess what happened in the end? DId i managed to clear my goal in the end? Was there alot of problems to deter me from my goals? Of course there were alot of challenges and obstacles along the way but thank God for his blessing, i managed to clear my goal with every single things that i had set for myself! It was through this experience that i have shared with many people and some have benefited from it. Even till today when i set my goals, i do exactly the same things if i am really serious about my goals.

Therefore if there is one thing for you to take back, please remember that a goal is nothing unless it means something to you so attach VALUE to it!
