What Are Goals and Goal Setting?
Hey Folks,
For the next couple of posts, I’ll be writing on Goals, Goal Setting and related topics.
I know most of you, my dear friends and readers, are familiar with what a goal is and you have probably done some goal settings at one point or another in your life. But for the benefit of those who might be new to the topic, let’s have a recap on what a goal is and what goal setting is about.
Wiktionary defines a goal as “A result one is attempting to achieve” but I love Napoleon Hill’s way of defining a goal:
“A goal is a dream with a deadline.”
- Napoleon Hill
This is the closest definition of Goal Setting which I personally prefer that I found at The Magic of Goal Setting:
“Goal setting in broad terms is the process of
deciding on something you want,
planning how to get it,
and then working towards the objective.”
Do you have a different idea of what a goal is? Or what goal setting should be? Do leave a comment and share it with us. 
Cheers
James
