Have you been writing down your goals? Are you checking in with yourself periodically on your progress, and telling friends and business partners about the work you’re doing? These are a few simple things you can do each week to make your goals more concrete and help you keep moving forward. Keep your aims real and tangible. Write them, speak them, and show them. Even if your goals are simple, go through this process.

For example, let’s say you want to arrive at work on time every day this week. This may seem insignificant, but being on time regularly demonstrates your reliability. Write this goal down on Sunday. Put it in a place you will see it often, such as on the wall near your computer. Check in with yourself throughout the week. Tell your partner, “This week, I am setting the goal of arriving at work every day on time.” Hopefully he’ll check in with you during the week to see how you’re doing. At the end of the week, evaluate how you did. If you met your goal, reward yourself. Then set a higher goal for next week. With this process, you increase the likelihood of success for any goal, large or small, minor or major, short-term or lifelong.
