Goal Setting

another year another set of goals..=)

~notes from Sir Rex Mendoza's talk

Let's begin this blog with the meaning of success.
Many people think success is all about effort.
But effort without proper knowledge is still nothing.

Success is all about DOING WHAT IS RIGHT!
For many, DOING WHAT IS RIGHT means sacrificing.

We all have to plan on what to do with our money.
Have you ever wonder why big companies have "goal setting" meeting every year?
This means they are laying out their plans on the next few months or few years.
And these plans should be met or exceeded.

Why when it comes with our own money we don't have any plans at all?
We often have wrong spending habits.
We often splurge on things that don't matter.

We often hear this from elderly people.:
"Masaya naman naging buhay ko. Di nga ako mayaman, madami naman akong kaibigan."
"My life has been good. I'm not rich but i have many friends."
But most often than not, elderly people who say this regret because they let time pass by.
They were not able to build a solid financial foundation.
They don't have anything to pass on to the next generation.

Sir Rex's advise is: "Work for your dreams!"

Many people know what to do but they just don't do it.
Maybe because they are afraid to fail.
But mind you, failure is a part of success.

Did you know that before Thomas Edison invented the light bulb he has to perform 2000 experiments?
Does that mean 2000 failures? Probably YES!
But instead of retreating he continued until he got what he wanted.
There was even a time that his laboratory was burnt.
But did he give up? NO!
He treated his "failures" as part of the path towards success.
Now he is known for his invention.
He will be known forever not because of his 2000 mistakes but because of his SUCCESS!

People will fail because of 2 things:
1. Pleasure
2. Pain

Pleasure of being IDLE!
Pain of being laughed about!

"Imagine the pain to drive you to do the right thing."
"Pleasure is subjective."
"People will try to avoid pain rather than pleasure."

Choices always have their consequences!


GOALS make a man/woman and a CAREER!
If we will not do anything we will lose a lot of money.
We have to try harder each day.
Your goals should drive your behavior.

One of the most important drivers of success is deprivation.
We have to make a difference!

Setting goals is the first step in turning invisible to visible.
Setting goals is the foundation for all success in life.

Goal-Setting must be followed by a sincere development of a plan, and massive and consistent action towards fulfillment.

The unscious fear of disappointment stops people from seeking and creating goals.

Failing to achieve your goal can mean achieving your real goals.

Remember: Planning is projecting what you want on paper as you start.

TAKE CARE TO GET WHAT YOU LIKE OR YOU ARE GOING TO BE FORCED TO LIKE WHAT YOU GET!
