Importance of Goal Setting for Success (SMART)

 Purpose of goal setting.


Why do we set goals in life? It might seem tedious at first, and some people might even feel anxious just thinking about it. The fear of not achieving a goal often makes us worry about failure. But that's the beauty of goals—they are designed to guide us toward success. If you don't reach a goal, it's perfectly fine to carry it over to the next year. Goals keep us moving forward, helping us reach our desired destinations. They provide focus, motivation, and give our lives purpose and meaning. Goals hold us accountable and instill a sense of responsibility to achieve them. When we accomplish our goals, we become mentors and inspirations, motivating others to live their best lives. Remember to set SMART goals: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-bound. And if you ever doubt yourself, think of the story of Moses. When God called him to lead the Israelites, he doubted his abilities. But God didn’t judge Moses by his self-perception; instead, He saw the best in him (Exodus 3:1-22). Trust that God sees the best in you too. Involve Him in your goal-setting process and watch where it leads you. God bless.

Goal setting serves several important purposes:

  1. Provides Direction: Clearly defined goals give you a roadmap to follow, helping you focus your efforts on what matters most.

  2. Motivates and Inspires: Goals create a sense of purpose and can be a powerful source of motivation and inspiration.

  3. Measures Progress: Setting goals allows you to track your progress and see how far you’ve come, which can be encouraging and help maintain momentum.

  4. Enhances Productivity: Goals help you prioritize tasks and manage your time more effectively, leading to increased productivity.

  5. Encourages Personal Growth: The process of setting and achieving goals fosters personal development and self-improvement.

  6. Boosts Confidence: Successfully reaching your goals builds self-confidence and reinforces a positive mindset.

  7. Promotes Accountability: Goals create a sense of responsibility, holding you accountable for your actions and decisions.

In summary, goal setting is a powerful tool that helps you clarify your vision, stay motivated, and achieve success in various aspects of life. Do you have any specific goals in mind for the new year? 😊

Memoirs of an Entrepreneur (Pricing)

  Pricing is something that most of us take for granted. Am not sure if you really think about price apart from when there is a price increase. Have you ever wondered how people price goods and services and what should be the correct way of pricing your items. If you price too high you will loose customers and if you price too low then you will not make a profit so there is a place where you need to come too rightly to price items. As a christian there is also God's pespective on pricing. The book of levitcus is where God instructed the Isrealites on how to price items 26: 14  And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest ought of thy neighbour’s hand, ye shall not oppress one another:  God is very clear he does not want us to oppress another brother by putting our price too high that they struggle to buy our item and if they do they forgo other necessecities that they need in life. When you are pricing your good or service what is the first thing that comes to min...

Memoirs of an Entrepreneur (Faith)

  As a christian, business owner how do we live our life as a christian and at the same time trade and do business in the community. Do we seperate God from what we do and conduct our business strictly seperated from our faith.  God is the greatest business man he incoporated business into the daily lives of the Isrealites. Today we hide God from our board rooms and put our faith away when it comes to professionalism. However I want to encourage christian Papua New Guineans to live life as a christian the same as you would in church and home and as how you would run your business. What is the secret to over coming our daily challenges in business. I would say the first and formost challenge would be how do I generate revenue? How do I bring customers to buy my goods and services. How do I make money? In my experiance the first thing is to take it to the Lord in Prayer. Before you react before you pick up your phone and speak to anyone take time to pray and when you pray listen...
