Do You Know What You Want?

	“The #1 reason most people don’t get what they want is because they don’t know what they want.” T. Harv Eker Rich and successful people always know what they want and they know that very specifically. After knowing what they want they can then formulate the strategies that will help them achieve what they want. They commit themselves to follow through with their plans to reach their goal. In addition to knowing what you want, it is also important to be clear and specific about it so that

For example Adam knows that what he wants is to lose weight. Which statement do you think will commit him to attain his target better?

“I want to lose weight.” Or
“I want to lose 10kg by 31 December 2008.”

The 2nd statement has more impact isn’t it?

With clear and precise goal, it helps us remain focused and enables us to formulate the necessary plans to achieve the goal.

So do you know what you want specifically? I’m not surprised if most people don’t. Here is what you can do to help find out what is it that you want.

Most people are not very good at identifying what they want. But they are generally good at knowing what then don’t want. So we can start by finding out what we don’t want to help us identify what we want. List down the things that you don’t like. For each of the things that you don’t like, think about what you would like instead. Once you are able to identify what you like, pay attention to them and find ways to achieve them. Remember to always be clear and specific to hold yourself to your wants. Set out the plan to achieve what you want and follow through to complete it. Bear in mind rich and successful people always complete what they start as well…
