Goal setting
Setting goals is a fundamental component to success. The basic reason for this is that you can’t get where you are trying to go until you clearly define where that is (Kumar, 2011). Goal setting is a process that will help you motivate yourself, and the more detailed and precise the goal is, the better your brain will analyse the steps in order to achieve it (Frankfurt, n.d.). Goals help you focus and allocate your time and resources efficiently, and they can keep you motivated when you feel like giving up (Kumar, 2011).
