12 Steps To EASY GOAL SETTING in 2012 for BOHIMIEN MINDS
proof I am always on “the ball”
Every year around this time people seem to extra stressed about the upcoming year , what they would like to accomplish and the direction they would like to see their lives take. Here are 12 simple suggestions from achievement experts to help make the process a little less excruciating.
1) SET GOALS MORE THAN ONCE A YEAR – I posted this ARTicle late so if you felt guilty about being late this lets you off the hook. It also breaks the idea goal setting is a once a year thing. You can write your goals anytime of the year. I am continually goal setting and every 4 months or so I review them to see what’s been accomplished. I also have different goal lists for different things. Some experts like Brian Tracy will even tell you to rewrite your goals daily. Even at 68 that guy is a machine though. The idea being the more you right them down the more clearly what you want becomes.
2) WRITE THEM DOWN – I have often heard that writing down goals helps solidify them and allows your subconscious mind to help find solutions in working towards a goals. When I first heard this I like many others was skeptical to say the least. That was until a recent review of my “Little Book of Knowledge” (a small journal I keep for recording ideas and the such) going through the book I check marked all things I had accomplished that had been written down. Much to my surprise 90 %( a guesstimation) of the projects I had written down where complete or had lead to another project. This includes articles I had written, people I had hoped to meet, and games plans I meant to follow.
3) WRITE THEM IN THE POSITIVE – IE if you don’t want to work at the job you currently hold WRITE find employment at such and such a place rather than I don’t want to work the night shift at Denny’s.
4) MIND MAPS – As a visual artist I am a HUGE FAN of mind maps. I find them a great way to FIRE out ideas rapidly and take information down. It also makes it easier for the next step….

5) REVIEW THEM – review you goals on a regular basis. It helps keeps them at the fore front of your mind.
6) WRITE DOWN YOUR PERFECT DAY!!! – a simply MIND BLOWING EXERCISE that I believe was best demonstrated in this Frank Kern Video. By writing down your perfect day you become clearer on your values and what you want. Some say it even leads to miraculous things. Check this out.
7) WRITE DOWN 30 THING YOU WANT TO BE, 30 THINGS YOU WANT TO OWN AND 30 PLACES YOU WANT TO GO – I think the first time I ever heard this was by Anthony Robbins, I didn’t get the idea until I recently read Jack Canfield Success Principles. Do this exercise and you will be surprised by the time you get to the end of you lists. What you want and what you are working on achieving is far different than what you may have believed
8) VISUALIZE – as a day dreamer I think this is my favorite technique. All it takes is a few moments to close you eyes and dream. Can’t visualize you say well here is a hint from Anthony Robbins “If you can WORRY, you can VISUALIZE” before I heard this I never realized that worrying was just negative visualization.
9) WRITE 101 GOALS – the thing I likes about this it shows you how absolutely LIMITLESS we are as beings. My primary objective in life has been the creation of fine art. After doing this I realized I was limiting myself. I also love property development and pro wrestling. Who says in this lifetime I can’t make a million dollars off property, perform at WRESTLEMANIA, and still be recognized as one of this century’s greatest visual artist? 70 years is a lot of time on this earth and we have ALL already started on our worldly paths to some where.
10) THINK OF WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO ALREADY HAVE ACCOMPLISHED YOUR GOAL THEN WORK BACKWARDS – this is along the lines of visualization. When I did this I thought of what a day in the studio might be like for Attila Richard Lukacs. I imagined having an enormous space, with everything I needed all the supplies , a painting section and office section. I then imagined how I might feel and what I might do if all these needs where met. I then worked backwards to where I was in my studio in the bedroom of my apartment. I then thought of the first thing I need to do and sent him a letter.

11) VISUALIZE MORE – like I said I’m a day dreamer. Another great thing about visualization is you can do it ANYWHERE. On the bus, the beach, the plane it doesn’t matter as long as you are not operating a motorized vehicle, or walking a tight rope no ones gonna get hurt.
12) TAKE ACTION – I think Dana White said it best in this video. You see during the first year of the Ultimate Fighter show some of the guys heard that on Sylvester Stallone’s the Contender they where getting paid to compete and said they weren’t going to fight. At the time it was impossibility for UFC so Dana White gave this speech and said the door is that way if you don’t wanna fight. So now I ask you, what do you wanna do and why aren’t you doing? This leads to the question of “Are you a f**king fighter or what”. In a side note and my history could be a little off if you look at the faces of the guys he is speaking to you will see will notice TOP FIGHTERS from the UFC during the period where it became the international phenomenal it is now. So now I ask YOU ARE A(fill in blank) OR WHAT? DO SOMETHING NOW!!!!!
This list is a compilation of information I have come across the past number of years from studying the works of NAPOLEAN HILL, BRIAN TRACY, ANTHONY ROBBINS, FRANK KERN and most recently JACK CANFIELD. I started studying these ideas because I knew I was a MIND BLOWING ARTIST but was making very little head way in my career. It made no sense and so I wanted understanding.
My “MIND BLOWING WORK”
There are critics who know me may say “Why should we listen to you, you can barely afford to take the bus most of the time?” to which I reply that yes I have yet to achieve my monetary goals, even on a monthly basis, I have found backers that help support my practice and also looking at all I have accomplished since studying these works I can clearly see how these actions have created the ground work to me accomplishing the fiscal goals. I think it was best stated when Brian Tracy said “The best thing about becoming a millionaire is the person you become along the way.”
