How do you create your goals? And how do you define success or whether you’ve achieved them?

I create small tasks as goals daily based upon the priority and have a proper but short description to say when it is called finished (Success). Long-term goals again have a timeline and description. However, I never create goals longer than three months even for that I'm pretty flexible. I feel solidarity with life does not work and I'd like to go as it comes.

This is such a great question. I create my goals based on what fuels me. When it comes to my goals - as I have become older - I also ask myself will others benefit as well from my success. If its all about me (unless its a fitness related goal) I try to go bigger and broader. I define my success by asking myself - did I accomplish what I set out to do? If I did not, I then gage how far was I from reaching it and does it need a longer timeframe to be completed and what steps do I need to take to achieve it.

Great question. This is a process and constantly identifying what, why & how of your goals and then breaking down on the tasks and the time it would take to complete these tasks.

Creating the goals feels easy, what is harder is figuring out how to get to the "done" part. I think success is based on the overall impact of the goal and how it feels - even failures can be a success in the sense that you know it doesn't work for you or your goal. I try to map out things as much as possible that are both IN my control, and not in my control.

We all want to achieve goals, but it’s a common mistake that most people don’t even know how to start. Forget how you want to be in 5 years because that won’t happen if you don’t take action on today’s challenges.
