My career has been built around the targets I have set for myself. I have managed to achieve them sometimes and have had to face failures too?sometimes by just a wee little bit. Maybe that has kept the fire burning in me and helped me move from one echelon to another.

I have written this article to guide you on how to set goals for yourself. Personally I am impressed by Leslie Cameron?s methodology and would recommend it to all. To start with, set a goal that is ?achievable? rather than setting an unachievable goal for you. Research and see if anyone prior to you has been able to achieve the same goal. If no, what is the basis on which you feel you shall be able to do it? The answers to these questions would give you clarity on whether your targets are reasonable or not.

Secondly analyze the monetary costs and personal costs this goal would coat you. For example the regularity of your extra golf sessions would depend completely on you. Keep in mind that you may need to forfeit certain personal engagements too and need to be mentally tuned to do so.

DO YOU HAVE ALL THE RESOURCES YOU NEED TO ACHIEVE YOUR GOAL? Is your golf swing good enough? If not, can you find an instructor to refine it? Are you physically in the right shape? Do you need to improve your flexibility, stability and strength? Take the time to make sure you have everything you need to achieve your goal.

Finally, ask yourself, IF I COULD HAVE THE GOAL NOW, or at the appropriate time, WOULD I TAKE IT? Hopefully, you will answer yes to this last question. If not, complete the process again until you find a goal that fits. Learn to set rolling goals. By that I mean, always be aware that there is a future beyond the next goal. You may like to try the process for yourself using any golf goal that is relevant to you:

1. What am I seeking from my life, where do I see myself?

2. Shall I be able to do it?

3. How would I know that my goal has been fulfilled?

4. Do I have the reserves to achieve my goal?

5. Am I mentally prepared to bear the costs and compromises for achieving the goal?

6. Are the resources to achieve the target under my control?

7. If I achieve my goal after a certain time would it be acceptable to me?

And remember to set rolling goals and you will improve but leaps and bounds.
