Goal Mapping

Below is an excerpt from IIGL\u2019s first graduate, past President and Nigerian Coordinator, Felix Iziomoh\u2019s book called Goal Mapping! It is also part of the IIGL Level Two curriculum!<\/p>\n

Step 1: Dream \u2013 What do I want?
\nWhatever form of success you dream of, goal mapping can help you to achieve it.
\nWikipedia explains dream as a succession of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations that usually occur involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep. A dream is an inspiring picture of the future that energizes your mind, will and emotions, empowering you to do everything you can to achieve it. Take a look at many of the things that people pursue or try to achieve in their lives:<\/p>\n

Day dreams: Distractions from current work.
\nPie-in-the-Sky Dreams: Wild ideas with no strategy or basis in reality.
\nBad Dreams: Worries that breed fear and paralysis.
\nIdealistic Dreams: The way the world would be if you were in charge.
\nVicarious Dreams: Dreams lived through others.
\nRomantic Dreams: Belief that some person will make you happy.
\nCareer Dreams: Belief that career success will make you happy.
\nDestination Dreams: Belief that a position, title or award will make you happy.
\nMaterial Dreams: belief that wealth or possessions will make you happy.<\/p>\n

7 Steps to Achieve Your Dream<\/p>\n

Step 1: Dream it.
\nEverything begins in the mind. Every great achievement began in the mind of one person.
\nThey dared to dream, to believe that it was possible. Take some time to allow yourself to ask
\n\u201cWhat if?\u201d Think big. Do not let negative thinking discourage you. You want to be a
\n\u201cdreamer.\u201d Dream of the possibilities for yourself, your family and for others. If you had a
\ndream that you let grow cold, re-ignite the dream! Fan the flames. Life is too short to let it go.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Believe It.
\nYes, your dream needs to be big. It needs to be something that is seemingly beyond your capabilities. But it also must be believable, attainable and realistic. You must be able to say that if certain things take place, if others help, if you work hard enough, though it is a big dream, it can still be done.<\/p>\n

Step 3: See It.
\nGreat achievers have a habit. They \u201csee\u201d things. They picture themselves walking around
\ntheir office as the C.E.O in their new $25 million office, even while they are sitting on a
\nfolding chair in their garage. Great free-throw shooters in a Basketball competition picture the ball going through the basket. PGA golfers picture the ball going straight down the fairway. World-class speakers picture themselves speaking with energy, strategy and emotion. All of this grooms the mind to control the body to carry out the dream.<\/p>\n

Step 4: Tell it.
\nOne reason many dreams never go anywhere is because the dreamer keeps it all to himself. It is a quiet dream that only lives inside of his mind. One who wants to achieve one\u2019s dream should tell that dream to friends and colleagues. We begin to believe it more and more. If we are talking about it then it must be possible. Another reason to share dreams: It holds us accountable. When we inform others; mentors, mentees, friends and colleagues, it spurs us on to actually doing it, so we don\u2019t look foolish or unserious before them.<\/p>\n

Step 5: Plan it.
\nEvery dream must take the form of a plan. The old saying that you \u201cget what you plan for\u201d is so true. Your dream won\u2019t just happen. You need to sit down, on a regular basis, and plan out your strategy for achieving the dream. Think through all of the details. Break the whole plan down into small, workable parts. Then set a time frame for accomplishing each task on your \u201cdream plan.\u201d<\/p>\n

Step 6: Work it.
\nWhile some people are busy having fun or sitting on their sofas watching movies all day,
\nachievers are working on their goals achieving their dreams. There is this equation that I
\nwork with: Your short-term tasks, multiplied by time, equal your long-term accomplishments. If you work on it each day, eventually you will achieve your dream.<\/p>\n

Step 7: Enjoy it.
\nWhen you have reached your goal and you are living your dream, be sure to enjoy it. In fact, enjoy the trip, too. Give yourself some rewards along the way. Give yourself a huge reward when you get there. Help others enjoy it. Be gracious and generous. Use your dream to better the life of others. Then go back to No. 1. And dream a little bigger this time!<\/p>\n

What Others Are Saying<\/strong><\/p>\n

What have I Learned?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Erasmus Rwinkesha (Rwanda)<\/strong>
\nErasmusrwinkesha@gmail.com<\/p>\n

The journey I took within these two levels I completed in IIGL taught me how to harness the tremendous potentials that are in my mind. It is in this journey that I learned 17 principles of personal achievement. These principles changed my mind unlike before. I do apply them in my plans at home, at work, in meetings when giving ideas in different fields or aspects of life.<\/p>\n

The IIGL books I read have increased my steadiness when want to do something because I first reflect to the principles that are in my mind looking for the perfection of the action to be done. I do ask myself what is the definite purpose of doing so and so. In understanding the purpose, this opens for opportunities. I have acquired a tremendous improvement in being responsible. At work where I spend much time with my workmates, I do take serious responsibility. I have discovered that I am responsible to create or start a business of my wife and confidently started saving for it and with a definite purpose. I realized that definite purpose has built confidence in me and discovered that two heads are better than one; thus the mastermind alliance. This due to the fact that when I work alone in as far as a job that brings an income to the family is concerned, this cannot satisfy our needs as expected. Basing on the 17 principles of success by Napoleon Hill I decided to plan with my spouse to plan for a business to diversify the risk after realizing that it is not good to put all eggs in one basket. We should think deep. Brian Tracy in his books gives different examples of laws and among them we have the law of attraction. What is manifested in the external world starts in the inner world. IIGL indeed developed in me how to change from negative mental attitude to negative attitude.<\/p>\n

IIGL taught me the importance of flexibility in life that is why I changed my attitude I had before of thinking that my wife had to remain at home looking for the children only little knowing that if she does something on addition what I earn on monthly basis, can bring more achievements to our family hence affording to pay school for our children, attaining good health, and other family requirements. I also learned that if one establishes a goal and at the end of the day, he \/she doesn\u2019t achieve it as expected, can re-establish it without giving up, should be put on paper. As Brian Tracy wrote in his book of maximum achievement, \u201cone can\u2019t hit a target he doesn\u2019t see.\u201d<\/p>\n

Make A Difference<\/strong>
\nDream Team 22<\/strong>
\nPlease join Dream Team 22 as our goal is to have 22 people contributing $22 per month. We understand that money is energy and that to sustain and build IIGL we need a lot of people pouring their energy into this endeavor on a regular basis. We also know that not everyone can afford to commit $22 a month \u2013 especially our students, who live in countries with economies in which this amount can be equal to a weeks\u2019 salary. So we are offering two options for those who wish to become a part of the Dream Team. One can commit to a $22 a month contribution or to spending 22 seconds each day holding the vision of IIGL becoming financially sustainable by the end of 2023!<\/p>\n

Please join the Dream Team and help us create an energetic foundation to support the transformational work of IIGL! You can really make a difference in the world by making a modest contribution of time or money. To make the $22 a month commitment or a one time donation, click the link below. To become a member of the Dream Team 22 by committing 22 second a day to help us hold the vision, contact Deb for details: drosen2@wi.rr.com<\/p>\n
