What is your goal this year?

Goal setting

How should you set a goal? First, it is important to set your goal in a positive way. That means, therefore, don't set 'eat less' as a goal, because you'll still have your attention on food. Similarly, 'not smoking' is not really a useful goal because then you also have your attention on smoking....

I myself know all about this because I tried dozens of times to quit smoking. It became different when I formulated it positively because not smoking makes it difficult to break free from it. Often then that resolution goes up in smoke.

Your subconscious doesn ' t hear the word. That's because you have to understand what it says anyway. So when I ask you, "Don't think about good food...," what do you think about?

Well and then that's part of the problem. Most people know exactly what they don't want and then always get what they don't want. That's because they always have their attention on what they don't want. To understand the phrase "don't think about good food," you have to think about good food. There is no other way, otherwise you won't understand what it says.

In my practice, I see daily that people know exactly what they don't want. It is sometimes hilarious how strongly people cling to that and struggle to know what they do want. Once they know that, 50% is won.

After all, how do you set a goal

You pose it positively, that is, in terms of what you do want. You want to live healthier, eat healthier, breathe more freely, have fresh breath, more clients this year, or whatever it is that you do want.

Set your goals so they’re easy to achieve. Especially with short-term goals, it’s important to take small steps. Want to quit smoking? Then cut back. One cigarette less per week, and gradually reduce from there. That way, you’ll avoid failure. Of course, you can also do a hypnosis session to kick the habit right away ;-)

When you want to start exercising start with once a week, for example. If that succeeds then build it up. If not, the step was still too big and build it up even more. For example, once every two weeks. You have to believe it is achievable, otherwise it will never work.

Then, of course, you need to take action and track whether you are getting closer to your goal or not. This is very important because then you can be sure that you are going to reach your goal. This is what you do with short-term goals.

Long-term goals are set very differently. When you want to start setting life goals it is better to do it differently. Think about what you would like and feel how that feels. That feeling should then be your guide in every decision to achieve the goal you set. The funny thing is that you then no longer have a goal but start enjoying the road to it.... And isn't that more important?

My Goal: go into business

This year I'm going to help more people get into business. It is becoming increasingly important that you choose for yourself and start breaking free from your job. There is no more security, only the security you can give yourself. Entrepreneurship can allow you to make your life more your own.

It starts with a webinar this Thursday where I'm going to teach you how to do it with tips that are going to make sure you can get started right away too. It's one of my passions and it's an amazing feeling when it works. And it can succeed when you do the steps I'm going to tell you.

That's my goal for the coming year. Getting more people to discover that entrepreneurship is easy and simple to achieve. If I can do it, anyone can. Of course you have to do something, but if you do the right thing right away, you won't fall into the pitfalls I did. In fact, you can set up a business running in just a few days. More on that later.
