Goal setting works, it’s a fact! A direct link between goals and enhanced performance in business was shown by research studies. It is obvious, that people with goals succeed as they know where they are going.

The main reasons for setting goals:

1. Setting goals help you to focus on what is really important for you and it helps reaching the success quicker.
2. When you understand how to focus your efforts it will help you to achieve some outstanding results. Also focusing and concentrating your time, energy and resources can help you to cut through difficulties and obstacles that are standing on your way.

   By the way, many different trivial pursuits, aimless distractions and general busyness can easily diffuse your time and energy.

   Goals show you the way how to focus and concentrate your time and energy into chosen targets which are designed to make significant positive impacts in your life.

3. Motivation, persistence and desire also can be provided by goals. Most important accomplishments are riddled with obstacles, struggles and failures. Very rarely something important can be accomplished successfully from the first try.

   You will struggle and fail many times before you finally reach your target. You have to keep picking yourself up after each fall and continue your work steadily towards the targets until you finally reach your goal. This is a part of the price that you have pay for high achievement struggle and failure.

4. When goals are set it is easier to set priorities. There are many obstacles on the way of achieving goals. You have to decide which way to go, instead of just going with the flow and letting the "current" or other people interests determine where you end up.
5. The goals are the links between the present and the future. It is not clear how to reach the large goals in the far future without intermediate goals of the near future. One of the best ways to work with a large task is to break it to small parts.

You should do all your items step by step to see the result but if you miss some of the items you can get off course. Change and adapt your strategy depending on situation and circumstances. All the five reasons above tell you that goals can help you in different ways. Set the right goals and use them in the right way.
