One Way to Fulfill Your Goals

by Christopher D. Anderson on December 2, 2009

I’ve talked about goals and how impor­tant they are to suc­cess before. Today I want to go over a way to help keep your­self on track for your goal. It’s actu­ally very simple.

Make your goal pub­lic. That’s it.

Obvi­ously your not going to make every goal pub­lic, but projects that you are work­ing on, or prod­ucts that you are cre­at­ing are goals too. Let peo­ple that are fol­low­ing you know that you are work­ing on a new project. Tell them about your progress.

Yes, peo­ple are going to be watch­ing and wait­ing. And that is a good thing. It helps to keep your­self on track. If you have a lot of fol­low­ers or read­ers watch­ing your every move, you are less likely to give up. Not only are depend­ing on your­self to fin­ish it, so is every­one else. That’s pres­sure, but in a good way.

And some­thing extra!

As an added bonus to help­ing you ful­fill your goals, it cre­ates excite­ment for you new prod­uct as well. Take movies for exam­ple: The first thing peo­ple hear about a movie com­ing out are rumors and leaks. Then they come out with a teaser trailer. Then maybe a few full length trail­ers. Finally the movie comes out.

And by then, peo­ple are lin­ing up to see the show. This is your added bonus of mak­ing your goals pub­lic. It cre­ates excite­ment for your prod­uct. Which in turn makes you more money.

Have you ever made any of your goals pub­lic? Did it help you stay on track and fol­low through to your goal?

I recently made a goal of writ­ing 50,000 words towards eBooks in Novem­ber. It was hard but I posted updates on my blog weekly and I made it! Also, at the end it was great to see the com­ments of peo­ple con­grat­u­lat­ing me :) It’s a great way to push your­self just that lit­tle bit more.
