Your Personal Goals by OTTC Coach

In the late eighties, I attended Howard University. While a student, I recall deciding to target working for the best companies possible since I had to work. I envisioned that I could work for Fortune 500 organizations and pursued top companies instead of retail. I thought they had to hire someone, so why not me.

As a result of visioning and believing, while a student, I worked for such companies as IBM, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and Pitney Bowes. I later graduated and received five job offers from five different Fortune 500 companies as a result of what I saw for myself.

What do you see for yourself? One of the top reasons why people don’t obtain their goals is because they do not see themselves having their goals.

Everyday, you are bombarded by over 2,000 unique advertising messages trying to get you to buy their product or service.

What do you see for yourself? What about your personal goals?

If you are not actively planning, communicating, and seeing yourself with your goals, then the world will do it for you.

Choose a goal and a date. What would you like to accomplish by March 31st, 2007? Let's pick a date and a goal.

Is it a book? A new career? Starting your own business?

If you really want to reach this goal, then you will need a visualization statement. Read this word picture aloud on a daily basis. First thing in the morning and before you go to sleep.

This will be your form of advertising.

Follow this format:

I (name),_______________________________________

I feel ______________________________________________________________

Describe what you see hear and feel when this goal is accomplished

I was able to reach my goal by doing the following:

___________________________________________________________________

Now work backwards and list all of the key milestones to reaching your goal.

Consider recording this visualization statement on your cell phone and play it back several times a day.

You will truly be amazed at the results.
