Do you wonder if achieving some goal is worth it? Well, good news: it is never too late to set a goal and make a change. You should have long term goals to set for yourself and short term goals to set for yourself. Here are three reasons why goal setting is important and how you can get started.

1. Goal setting is a way to monitor progress, which can help you feel accomplished. As a bonus, you may learn how to set up your work schedule better and more efficiently.

“One of America’s most famous business tycoons, John D. Rockefeller, was quoted as saying: ‘Am I to be or not to be? That is the question.’ He eventually became the wealthiest man in American history because goal-setting helped him develop his business strategy.”

2. Goal setting helps you focus on work you actually care about.

“Remember that goal-setting helps you focus on work you actually care about, giving you a sense of purpose beyond the mere day-to-day running of your business.”

3. Goal setting is important because it allows you to make the most of your time.

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. – Winston Churchill goal setting is important because it allows you to make the most out of your time and life.”

Bonus: Goal setting makes us happier because we feel like we are actually progressing towards something.

“Research shows that goal-setting can make us happier because we feel like we are actually progressing towards something rather than simply marking the days off without any achievement.”
