DO NOT GIVE UP IN THE DAYS OF ADVERSITY


Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now, wherever he is and make a brand new effort for a brand new day to secure a brand new life and a brand new end.
Your best days have just begun. You have everything awaiting your enjoyment; therefore, do not give up in the days of adversity. No matter what you have gone through in the past, realize that you cannot change the past, but you can do something positive today that will enable you to live happily all the days of your life. You may even be going through some hurts and difficulties right now that those around you do not seem to understand. The pain may have taken hold of a major part of you that you are even considering the option of suicide. Listen, this is not the time to die, but a time to live, and prove to your enemies that you are not created a failure!
You may say, ‘this guy does not understand the mess I am in right now. If he does, will quite understand that I have tried everything, but I only have one option left-death’ Friend listen, I understand completely how you feel. I was once at his point five years back. So, I know exactly how it feels to watch others enjoying while your life is a catalogue of one problem or the other. I know how it feels for all your friends and family members to abandon you to fate. I know how it feels to see all those you have relied on all your life, praying that you die because your life is sort of becoming an embarrassment to them. To day the case is different because I decided to live after hearing a comforting word from my spiritual father. I heard his testimony- a testimony of success in the midst of fierce adversity. He shared with us how God transformed him from a dismal failure to a voice to be reckoned with. Today he lives a radiating and relevant figure. I said to myself if God can change his life after going through all that mess, he can change mine. I bet you, he does! I never thought life could be this meaningful, but God made it possible through obedience to the voice of wisdom from his man servant- papa Ayo Oritsejafor.
Friend, despite your adversity, do not forget to understand that difficulties are opportunities to better things; they are stepping stones to greater experience. And some day, you will be thankful for some of the challenges that came your way. But for those challenges, you would not have taken a pragmatic step to transform your life. When one door closes realize that many others are open, and if you can look carefully, you will see a dependable and profitable one. Your disappointments, hurts, pains and failures were allowed because there is a divine appointment waiting to greet you with gladness and prosperity. There is a fundamental truth I want you to print indelibly in your heart, and for emphasis I will want to state it clearly in red.
“Our finest moments are most likely to happen when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, unloved, insignificant and without help. For it is only in such moments, moved by our discomfort and despicable experience, that we are likely to dare to step out of our ruts and begin a search for different ways and better answers”
Determine today that you will not give up now amongst footmen because you must still soar bravely to run with horsemen for your greater and significant achievements. An achievement that the present and future generation will look up to, and find solace in the time of need. This is an accomplishment that will bring an undulating glory to your creator, Lord and maker. The future beckons on you, and a life of fulfillment awaits your rising. Let this be your moment of courage; your day to rise and say, ‘this is not a time to die, but a time to live. This is a time to enjoy life and satisfaction from the almighty God.  This is a time to be a blessing to my generation, and not a curse’. There is time for everything, and this is not only your time, but your turn to experience the love of God and be free from the grip of every power that wants to see you die. Since they cannot kill you while you are in your mothers womb, they will not succeed to kill with frustration. You have survived the greatest battle- the battle of conception. You took the lead and arrived planet earth safely, and no power in Hades can stop you from become a success. You are a star; do not give up in the days of adversity, and all your wasted years shall be turned to gainful years.
The future beckons on you!

HOW TO ESTABLISH, MAINTAIN AND SUSTAIN TRUE FELLOWSHIP


HOW TO ESTABLISH, MAINTAIN AND SUSTAIN TRUE FELLOWSHIP


Everyone can develop a healthy, robust fellowship that lightens the inner potentials of the individuals involved in fellowship and motivates them to live wholesomely and enjoy its benefits only if he or she commit to the hard work of getting along with people, treating people with dignity and honor.
Everyone human being performs better in the atmosphere of a healthy relationship of sincere fellowship. No one was created to exist alone, we all need each other. Due to this fundamental truth we must be able to live and interact with people in a lovable and courteous manner. However, as important as this aspect of human existence is, it can become an avenue of inflicting injuries that will take a long time to heal if one does not understand the principles that guides it. To understand the principles that guide fellowship, we must first and foremost understand what it is, how it is established, how to maintain and sustain it. In this article, I will want us to look at the major key words: Establish, Maintain, sustain, true and fellowship.
ESTABLISH: To establish something means to create, start, found, institute, ascertain, and launch something.
MAINTAIN: To maintain something means to uphold, continue, sustain, preserve, keep, keep, and retain something.
SUSTAIN: To sustain something means to maintain, continue, prolong, carry on, protract, keep on, uphold, and to keep something going.
TRUE: True means factual, accurate, correct, right, proper and exact.
FELLOWSHIP: Fellowship means companionship, friendship, friendliness, partnership, association, society, etc. This denote that it is an act of togetherliness where the individuals involved share a common interest, get acquainted, get close, become familiar and enjoy some level of affiliation and alliance. This encourages the ability to be to be responsive, involve in the affairs of others, stay connected in sincererity, and exhibit a high level of kindliness, openness, easiness, affability, outgoingness and civilized relationships.
Therefore, in the light of the above definition, to establish, maintain and sustain true fellowship means the action implemented to create, start, institute, uphold, continue, preserve, retain, prolong, and carry on factual, accurate and proper act of friendship, partnership, association and alliance with the sole purpose of achieving an end of mutual benefits and outstanding fulfillment. Any association that is void of this fundamental truth in its process of formation is simply not a fellowship, and it will never produce the common benefits of mutual edification.
HOW TO ESTABLISH, MAINTAIN AND SUSTAIN TRUE FRIENDSHIP
1.     Education: You must teach the basic skills of relationships to those whom you want to enjoy fellowship with. It takes God’s power and your personal to motivate people to build and sustain a healthy relationship. Many people grew up in families of unhealthy relationships, so they lack the relational skills needed for real fellowship. They must be taught how to get along with people. If you are tired of fake fellowship and want to develop real fellowship and a polity of genuine friends you must pay attention to this truth.

2.     Honesty: You must care enough to speak the truth in a loving way, even when you would rather gloss over a problem or ignore an issue. If you want to build genuine fellowship with people, you must create an atmosphere where people can speak up without being afraid of penalization. An honest answer is a true sign of friendship. Be frank, for men love and appreciate frankness more than flattery.

3.     Humility: Humility means meekness, modesty, and unassuming nature. This character trait means nothing but it buys everything.



“Live in harmony with each other. Do not try to act important, but enjoy the company of ordinary people. Do not think you know it all. Give more honors to others than to your self. Do not be interested only in your own life, but be interested in the lives of others’’

Self importance, smugness, pride, disobedience, and stubbornness destroy fellowship faster than anything else. Pride builds walls between people, but humility builds bridges. Humility is the oil that smoothes and soothes relationships. Clothe yourself with humility toward one another. The proper dress code for fellowship is humble attitude.

However, humility is not thinking less of yourself but rather think of your self less.

4.     Resolve Conflict Correctly: When conflict is resolved correctly, we grow closer to each other. Until you care enough to confront and resolve the underlying barriers, you will never grow close to each other. No matter what happens never use harsh words when you are correcting an older man, but talk to him as if he were your father, talk to younger men as if they were your brother, talk to older women as if they were your mothers and younger women as if they were your sisters.

No matter what happens never use harsh words when you are correcting an older man, but talk to him as if he were your father, talk to younger men as if they were your brother, talk to older women as if they were your mothers and younger women as if they were your sisters.

5.     Confidentiality: Only in a safe environment of warm acceptance and trusted confidentiality will people open up and share their deepest hurts, feelings, needs, and mistakes. What is shared with you in secrete should not be broadcasted in the open. Gossip is spread by wicked people; they stir up trouble and break up friendship, courses hurt, divisions, and sometimes create life enemies.
6.     Regular contact: This will help to build the bond of intimacy that cannot be easily broken. You must spend a lot of time together with people to build deep relationship that enhance life impacting fellowship.
7.     Courtesy: Courtesy is the act of respecting the individuality of a person, being considerate of each others feelings, being patient with people who irritates us. We must bear the burden of being considerate of the doubts and fears of others. In every society there are people who are difficult. These are people with special emotional needs, deep insecurities, irritating mannerisms or poor social skills. They are what is referred to as the EXTRA GRACE REQUIRED (EGR) people. To fellowship with such people you must understand where they are coming from. The place of hurt feelings; the place of no love; the place of lack of display of affection; the place where self interest is given uppermost priority; the place of betrayal. If you understand this and try to put yourself in their shoes you will be able to understand why they behave the way they do.

Be devoted to each other like loving family and excel in showing respect for each other.

8.     Demonstrate Sympathy and Empathy: To build, maintain and sustain true fellowship, we must be both sympathetic and empathetic. We must show high level of understanding, compassion, consideration, kindness, pity and commiseration with those with whom fate and misfortune has laid heavy weight on. We must be able to enter and share in the pains of others. As people that were created to fulfill divine purpose, we must be sympathetic and empathetic, kind, humble, gentle and patient with our fellow human being. When this is done we can true say that we are our brother’s keeper, and the bond love will improve, increase and unbreakable.

We need sympathy and empathy in our relationship with people because this satisfies two fundamental needs of human beings:

·        The need of validation of feelings: The people we interact with on a daily basis need confirmation, justification and corroboration of feelings. Their feelings need to be supported. They need us to affirm and support them emotionally, and also they want us to make them feel welcomed, supported, admired, approved and justified. This can only be done if we are sympathetic and empathetic with others.
·        The need to be understood: Men and women need their fellow human to understand them. It is dangerous for you to judge people based on wrong premises. Those who form the habit of misunderstand intentions cannot build a formidable relationship, and inevitably cannot maintain a healthy fellowship with others. When others are in pain do you feel it as though you were the one that is actually going through that situation? If your answer to that question is no, then you need to check your life and find out if you are a plus or a minus to people around you. We need to enter into each others pain and help to carry their burden in one way or the other according to our ability. When you constantly form the habit of giving excuse for not participating in the activities of others in a friendly and supportive way, you are building a life style that will inevitably land you loneliness tomorrow. You will lack the required relational skills in fellowshipping with others; you will lack feelings for people. You may be in their midst but you do not feel them.
People are motivated to live happily and purposefully when they have people around them who sympathize and empathize with them. And every time you understand and affirm somebody’s feelings, you are building friendship that will last till eternity and do you good at many instances at places you least expect. A despairing man who have the devotion of his friends in the time of time of distress shall be encourages and motivated to live a meaningful life all the days of his life.

A despairing man who have the devotion of his friends in the time of time of distress shall be encourages and motivated to live a meaningful life all the days of his life.

9.     Mercy: Mercy is the action of showing compassion, clemency, pity, forgiveness, kindness, understanding, leniency and sympathy. If you must build, maintain and sustain true fellowship with others you must be able create enough room in your heart to accommodate the mistakes and short comings of others even as they are tolerating your own. We all have character problems, even the best of men have. Your area may be different from the other person, it does not mean that you are that most perfect. What some body else detest may be your favorite. That is life for you! Fellowship is an atmosphere of grace where mistakes are rubbed out. It is an atmosphere where mercy reigns over justice.
It is very difficult for people with different biological background or seemingly similar background to interact with one offending the other. But when you are offended the way you handle it matters. When men sin against you, do not condemn them rather comfort them and correct them in love so that they will not give up in despair. Do not hold grudges, against your fellow man, for bitterness and resentment always destroy friendship and fellowship. There is no way you can live and have fellowship with people without you hurting them or them hurting in some ways, because we are all imperfect. Though we are striving toward perfection, we will inevitably hurt each other when we are together for either a short or a long enough time. Some time we hurt others deliberately and some time unintentionally, but either way we must learn to accommodate each others fault, forgive one another so that we can fellowship with a purified mental attitude.
In the light of the aforementioned, I will like to emphasize the following truth:
·        Forgiveness is instant but trust is time: Forgiveness does not mean the practice of foolishness. If someone forms the habit of offending you often, you are required to forgive him or her immediately, but you are not required to trust the person immediately, and allow him or her to continue hurting you. He or she must prove his or her self over time trustworthy before you can attempt to restore trust.

·        Fellowship is not an action of monopoly: Fellowship means mutual interaction. It is an atmosphere of give and take. The opinion of everyone is important and supreme. When fellowship becomes monopolized by the opinion and ideas of only one person, it is no longer fellowship, but a practice of monopoly. Monopolistic fellowship is deceptive, hypocritical and destructive. This account for the reason why small groups in the church of today are lacking in the fire that is required to set aflame the bond of sincere love. This fellowship becomes shallow because they concentrate on killing time with each other instead of spending time with each other. And when we do gather it one person that dominate the discussion of the day, and when that person is not around the others must wait because only his opinion has being considered acceptable. What an error! Everyone has something to offer, and until you give them the opportunity, you cannot benefit from them. Hear me; Fellowship becomes interesting when we all benefit from all that make up that fellowship.

If small group in the church can search for common ground through participatory interaction, and engage them selves in things that empowers and establish their relevance in the society, there shall exist a bond of love amongst them which no power in the whole universe can subdue, and there shall be massive revival in the church and the almighty God shall be happy with the work of his servants. The church will become more meaningful in the lives of the society, and there will be joy in the land of the living. Well, I will not proceed further in this regard; I will visit it properly in subsequent articles.

10.                        Loyalty: To build, maintain and sustain true fellowship, you and all the people you connect with must be dependable, trustworthy, and faithful. You must be devoted to each other. You must be able to watch each others back, and be able to manage their lives and represent them in good light before the public. It is the spirit of loyalty that makes men to sacrifice their lives, position, prestige, comfort, money, and affiliation to defend their friend and rescue him in the time of need. Ask your self am I a loyal friend? The test of true love is the commitment to an undulating loyalty.

My pastor, Papa Ayo Oritsejafor, said, ‘Your love is not strong enough until you are able to love a person to his fault’. I have been pondering over that statement, and every time I look at it, it makes more sense to me. That was exactly what God did; he sent his only begotten son Jesus Christ to die for us even while we yet sinners. Our fault did not stop him from loving us. Once you have decided to make someone your friend or fellowship with him realize that you must love him irrespective of his fault or short coming. He may have a major character problem, but because your sustenance and well being is attached to him, you must love and remain loyal to him. Most, especially if they are your leaders in some way. The church today lacks loyalty that is why we are stabbing and killing each other over issues of non consequences. True Fellowship can only be established in the presence of an undulating Loyalty.


Friend in conclusion, I want to say that building, maintaining and sustaining true friendship requires some level of commitment to hard work. But when properly sustained, its benefits are enormous. Let everyone who desires to be happy in life, make as his daily task a certain level of commitment to build quality contact; for this will help him to reach where his talent and skills may not be able to reach. It will help him maintain relevance and live a continuous life of victory in places and times unimaginable. He that fails to do this shall have problem with his harvest and live in perpetual atmosphere of turmoil, catastrophe and un-achievement. This statement is pregnant and because of that I am going to repeat it for emphasis sake. It more profitable to commit statement of wisdom like this to memory, than cramming theories that are completely irrelevant to your life, and to where you are going to.

Let everyone who desires to be happy in life, make as his daily task a certain level of commitment to build quality contacts; for this will help him to reach where his talent and skills may not be able to reach. It will help him maintain relevance and live a continuous life of victory in places and times unimaginable. He that fails to do this shall have problem with his harvest and live in perpetual atmosphere of turmoil, catastrophe and un-achievement.


Before I live you, I will want you to ask yourself, What major steps can I take today to connect with people at more genuine heart-to-heart level?’ When you have found answers to this question, make it your daily task as long as you live, you will experience more happiness, you will have reliable and loyal friends, and your life will fulfill at ease your life’s purpose.

THE POWER OF DECISION



Hello friends! Welcome to another impacting moment with Precious Ogholaja. I hope you have found my site very helpful? How was your celebration? I hope it was exciting? Well, I am welcoming you today to a new season of double grace. It is a beginning of another decade of opportunity to excel and remain relevant in all aspect of your life. You need The Power of Decision to excel. Whatever was the outcome of your life in the previous year can be improve upon this New Year. And that is exactly what I want you to do.
This is not just another new year; it is the beginning of a new era. Every ten years something remarkable happens in the affairs of men. We have just entered into a new era, and the quality of our lives in the next ten years shall be based on the quality of decision we make. This is why I have come up with this article, ‘The Power of Decision’ so that you will not live your life in the hands of somebody else, but be directly responsible for its outcome.

Every day we make decision; some times good, other time’s bad decision. Decision is the choice we make. Whether we like it or not, life cannot be lived with out making choices. Each choice we make leads us to a life of happiness or a life of frustration and sorrow. Knowing how to make quality decision is fundamental if we must fulfill destiny.

The Power of Decision cannot be overemphasized, if your life will ever move forward you must realize that your resolution to succeed is more important than your complacency and inactivity. Where and what you are today is as a result of the decision you took yesterday, and where and what you be will become tomorrow is inevitably tied to the decision you make today. If you decide to be great you will definitely be great, but if on the contrary you decide to be small, you will surely have the outcome of your choice. Great men are great because they decide to be great. Their decision propelled them for action, and their action brought them unequalled success. Through the power of decision they were able to remove themselves from the rat race, and the common place of mediocrity and inactivity. Whishes will never make you great, but quality decision that is backed up with intelligent action will enable you to enthrone and ordain your destiny.

Do you have a desire to positively impact your world and enjoy undulating communion with God? Do you have the desire to become more resourceful and committed to the things of God, your business, your family and to your career? Then decide to do just that, and you will succeed. Back up that decision with intelligent action wrapped up in the spirit faith and determination, and you will receive physical and divine aid for fulfillment. No power on earth or in Hades can stop a man who has resolved with action to ordain his destiny. Divinity seeks and backs such people for successful accomplishment.

Realize that choices you make about where to go, whom to emulate and follow, the type of info you expose yourself to and activities you engage in, either empower or rob you of the power of successful accomplishment and resourceful living. In the light of the aforementioned, I will encourage you to take your decision making exercise seriously. In addition to other quality decisions you will take this year consider the following: They will help you greatly. Decide to:
• Serve God faithfully with everything you are and have.
• Look for and do anything of good report that improves your life a bit.
• Go to places where your potentials will be celebrated, effectively utilized and enhanced.
• Associate with People who are higher than you in some way and are willing to commit to bringing out the good and desirable in you.
• Pursue your career with inner tenacity, intelligence and courage.
• Never to take paths that is unstable.
• Seek wisdom and make it your daily companion.
• Refuse to settle for less where you are entitled for more.
• Do your business with a touch of creativity.
• Set reasonable targets and reward your self and your team for success.
• Strive for excellence in everything you do.
• Make promises you are capable of fulfilling.
• Major in Majors, and not in minors.
• Make education a priority
• Take care of your family
• Make the bible your daily guide

Friend, the choices you make has the power to make and or mar you. Therefore, make the right choice. Even if your life has experienced no meaningful progress since you were born, you can decide to make a difference, and you will see meaningful progress. Never be contented to settle for a life of squalid while enviously watching others succeed. Decide to make your life count, and you will be glad you did. Your future may look oblique and chances of success may seem slim, but resolve to take a chance and make your life count. You cannot know what you can become unless you decide to try the unknown. Your sitting down and whining does not help issues. Do not waste your life away because you are afraid you will fail if you tried. Stand up and look at what makes you afraid and resolve to conquer it and you will.

You may say precious, ‘you do not understand what I am going through, my case is spiritual; it is hopeless’. Hear me! Your resolution to success is more important than the powers that are pulling you down. If you decide to make a difference and prayerfully strive for excellence, they will leave you in the process of time. To overcome what is unseen concentrate on what is seen. I have seen men and women with real hopeless situations who did not allow their hopeless situation to deprive them from making an impact and live a fulfilled life. If they can do it you too can do it. The bible says all things are possible with God and with all who believe. Whosoever shall say to any mountain in his life, ‘move and be planted in the wildernesses and shall not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says shall come to pass, such will have whatever he says.

In conclusion, I want you to begin to call into existence whatever you want to happen in your life. Declare the lifestyle you want to experience this year, and reject the ones you do not want. As you declare and decide to do your best to better your life, you will see beautiful changes in your life. You are made to be celebrated, do not condemn your self to inactivity. I give you a guarantee that if you heed the counsel in this article, the God of all creation will give you grace for a fruitful living. I may not know who you are, but one thing I know is that God loves you and delight in your total wellbeing. And if you will pick up your broken life and trust him, he will mend it and make your life beautiful. Decide today to make your life count and heaven and good men will discover and make your life great.

If this article has been of great blessing to you, pass it on to others. Write me and let me share in your joy. Always try to explore the site and get properly refreshed and fired up for the success you were born to achieve. You are not a mistake, but a miracle to your generation!

HOW TO SET GOALS FOR YOUR BUSINESSES



Welcome to yet another exciting moment of wise counsel with precious Ogholaja. I am indeed convinced that you will find this article of great help in taking your business to a more profitable height. Today, I am going to talk about, ‘How to set quality goals for your businesses’
However, before I begin, it will be very important that we familiarize ourselves with the four most important key words in the title of this article: Set, quality, goals and businesses. Some people might say, ‘that is not necessary’. Well, that is their opinion. But, I think you will do your self more good if you understand what you are reading. My aim in this site is not to put together some few mutilated article just to rank well in search engine, but it is my commitment to offer you time proven solutions to your needs. Or is that not Ok?
Now, let us look at these key words:
·        Set: to set means to position, locate, lay down, situate, etc.
·        Quality means worth, value, excellence, superiority, eminence, etc.
·        Goal: A goal is a target, purpose, an ambition, aim, objective, etc.
·        Business: A business is any undertaking in which service are rendered or products are sold to a specific market with the aim of meeting a need and making profit.
From the above, it is obvious that we are looking at ways in which we can set valuable and excellent target for our business enterprise. Any business enterprise without quality targets cannot fulfill the tenets of its establishment.Setting quality goals is not only crucial to the success of any business, but it is particularly important for entrepreneurs who can become distracted without focus. Goals direct actions, give you something to aim for, and can serve as a yardstick for measuring your business' success.
However, it is important for me to emphatically state here that, as good as goal setting is to the success of any worthwhile business organization, the way you approach it will determine whether you will be able to attain your goals or not. Majority of people agree that goals are imperative, but less than ten percent of people write down goals or have any pragmatic action plan for attaining them. This is often caused by fear of the unknown. Most people do not like to write goals down on paper (a crucial part of goal setting) because they are afraid to commit to them. From the onset of their journey for success, they have already plan to fail. Whosoever that is afraid to plan and commit himself to the process that will guarantee his or her success, has already planned to fail. If this is your problem, your life can still be turned around for success. Try to remember that a goal does not have to be rigid; it can be changed at any time after you write it down. Also keep in mind that goal-setting becomes easier the more times you undertake it. This has happen to me, and in the process I discover a fundamental truth, “When you have set goals and attain them, the power of goal setting will compel you to set more”
If you truly desire to achieve success in your business, take heed to the following:
Avoid lazy hands
Think big and start from where you are with what you have. Do not limit your self by setting goals that will not provide incentive and motivation for your growth. Some entrepreneurs set goals that are too easily attained because they imagined they will fail if they set big goals. How can any one who desires success in business think this way? If you tend in this direction, apply your heart to wisdom and look for ways to challenge yourself. If you usually aim to add one new client every month, push yourself to shoot for three or five.
Have short-term and long-term goals
Do not have only short term goals while ignoring the long term goals. The accomplishment of short term goals gives one the motivation to accomplish the long term goals. You might want to set daily goals, weekly goals, monthly goals, quarterly goals, annual goals, and even 5-year or 15-year goals. However, you choose to go about it, do it now, do not procrastinate.
One way to generate short-term goals is to first consider your long-term goals. Consider what you want to achieve. Is there a certain amount of money you want to earn or a number of clients you need to sign up by a certain time? If nothing comes to mind immediately, which does happen a times, do not be discourage. Take a few minutes and think about what professional goal you would like to attain, think about what you need to do to deliver more quality service, capture more market share, diversify and or expand.
Once you have determined long-term goals, you can work backward. For instance, if your goal is to make 5,000, 000 this year, you should make a list of what it would entail to make that money. When your list is complete, break those small steps down into goals.
In this case, what is required to make that money becomes your short term goals, and making 5,000, 000 within that specified time becomes your long term goal.  If you encounter difficulty creating your list, ask trusted friends or a successful business expert for help.
Make your goals specific and measurable with a deadline
Do not make your goals so vague that it does not provide a means by which you can judge your success. Do not generalize your goals; be specific so that you will know at the end if you have fulfilled it. Modify your goals by making them specific. All goals should be specific, measurable, and have a time frame.
Persevere and persist intelligently
You need to intelligently persevere and persist to set quality goals for your business. If your system of setting goals does not seem to be working because you are not attaining much of what you write down, do not give up. Keep setting goals for several months and you will find that your goal setting skills has improved. In the same vein, if you constantly achieve no tangible result each time you set goals, stop and ponder. Do not change all the component of your goals, but modify and diversify your approach. For it is insane to continue to do the same thing in the same way over and over again and expect to get a different result.
Do not program yourself for failure
Make sure your goals are attainable. If you aim too high, you are dooming yourself to defeat. And if you aim too low, you will never grow and achieve much; for you can only achieve what you desire and pursue passionately. No man has the right to whatever he has not passionately and vehemently pursue persistently.
Be relevant
Goals should help you attain a specific aim. Look out for goals that are just not going to keep you busy, but active. Goals that is appropriate to the overall success of your business.

Constantly review your goals
Keep your short-term goals in plain view – in a place where you can see it daily- so you know what you need to attain. Look at your annual goals monthly to see if you are on track. If the focus of your business changes, do not be afraid to alter your goal. Flexibility is a crucial component of goal-setting.
