Most people know that having goals is easy, but to set and achieve goals effectively is an entirely different matter.
You may see this in your own life by looking at goals you or someone you know made for the New Year, of which most of those goals fizzled out shortly after the goal was set.
New York Times Bestselling Author of Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, T. Harv Eker, also had lofty goals and struggled for decades to accomplish them.
After modeling rich and successful people, he learned the most effective ways to not only set and achieve goals but keep his levels of success high no matter what.

According to Harv, most people have a more or less image of their desired life, but it’s often not clear and most people are certainly not living their best life in reality.
It isn’t easy to set and achieve goals in the real world, but it’s absolutely doable if you know how to get started and choose to follow through, he adds.
Harv’s infographic shows that just over 40% of people generally never set any goals.
And as far as New Years Resolutions go, around 80% of those goals don’t live past the second week of February in the following year.
Harv also cites that the American Society of Training & Development (ASTD) conducted a study that revealed that you can improve your chances of completing a goal incrementally…
If you actually have a goal or an idea, well done as you now have a 10% better chance of achieving your goal.
If you make a conscious decision that you will do it, you hit the 25% mark on getting closer to achieving your target.
If you choose when you’ll start doing it, you boost your goal-achieving potential to 40%.
If you have a plan on how you’ll do it, your odds rise to 50% in favor of you achieving your goal.
If you make a commitment to somebody that you’ll do it, you’re 65% there.
If you have a specific accountability appointment with the person you’ve committed to, then you are 95% closer to accomplishing what you set out to do.
All that’s left now, according to Harv’s infographic, is finishing what you started!

Let’s dive into Harv’s 7 Simple Steps as presented in his infographic:
To get what you desire, Harv insists that you have to know what it is you desire first.
Your ‘WHY’ is the motivation that fuels your ‘WHAT’, according to Harv.
Harv says that this answer will help you understand yourself better.
Your ‘HOW’ is your strategy to accomplish your ‘WHAT’.
A strategy is not an action, says Harv, but it is a concept of how you will achieve your goal.
It must be SIMPLE and DOABLE, otherwise, and Harv guarantees this, you will not do it.
He suggests that you set yourself up for an easy win by taking the first step.
If you’re truly committed to set and achieve goals, chances are really good that you will eventually achieve any goal you set, says Harv.
It all starts with you giving your word and committing to it, he adds.
Harv asserts that rewarding yourself is crucial to your success and motivation to continue the pursuit of your goals.

Plan your first step towards what you’d like to achieve and commit to completing that action.
Make sure to celebrate your first step in the right direction toward setting and achieving your goal to stay motivated.
If you have a desire to achieve success in life, you have to set yourself up for it.
