The importance of goal-setting and visioning

[Lord b]

As the saying goes "he who fails to plan inadvertently plans to fail"
In the struggle for self actualization and on the pathway to success,it is of grave importance that one must develop a keen sense of focus,sheer persistence and perseverance, willful commitment never having to lose sight of the prize even for a split second

Having detailed and pre-set goals is of utmost importance as it gives one purpose and a sense of fulfillment especially when the set goals are achieved.In a bid to effectively and quickly actualise such goals,one must cultivate certain measures;

PLANNING:As I already pointed out earlier,having a good plan is very essential because it helps to instill orderliness,a sense of responsibility and also serves as a guide to to properly achieve what you've set out to achieve.This can be done by creating a list of all the activities or tasks to be undertaken over a period of time(daily,weekly etc) and embarking on them either randomly or in the order of listing or importance

Proper time management:Time as we all know is one of if not the most important commodity on earth because once it passes/is lost can never be regained,as such one must make ample use o their time
One of the best ways to do this is by allocating specific amounts of time to specific tasks and trying to stick to it in order to maximize achievement.Also one must very well know the value of time and avoid or regulate time spent on low value and not so important activities

Shunning procrastination:Procrastination is a major enemy of success because it breeds laziness and leads to massive underperformance.In order to overcome it,one needs to be more proactive and take the initiative to perform tasks in a timely manner greatly utilising the concept of proper time management in order to attain optimum performance

Consistency/Commitment:Very often,the setbacks or failures we encounter can be attributed to lack of consistency/commitment
This is one of the most difficult measures to adopt though it is gravely important.Any achievement one enjoys in life often comes at a price of relentless pursuit,trials and error,sacrifices etc. One must therefore develop an iron will and remain focused on the process bearing in mind that the end result(success) will be worth every ounce of commitment or sacrifice made

Conclusively,let us be reminded that "as we make our beds so we shall lie on them"
It is of paramount importance that we apply these principles in the daily conduct of our lives,work space and in our forum involvement
I am also a huge partaker in this advice as I still have a long way to go in life but I'm confident that with the above principles and more contributions that will be coming from erudite members of this forum,we will engage profitably,learn and be successful.

Op many never know that planning is like a seed , of which when planted  have it yiled at future, in some cases it could be weeks,month or yearly. I do tell people who uses the slogan no timeoo that there is always time, only we as humans that runs out of time not time running out us, example time is already here for a man at the age of 90years but can't compete for hundred meter rase or play football . That is the nature of any one who fail to plan with the time available, he will be there but performing the assignment will be impossible.one song writer if you want be a leader early plans is better, that is to say hard work must be put in plan to any plan to achieve it not by mere speculation we human run out of time even when time is available.

OP, you have made many points here but in planning, we should strategically map out ways how to achieve this goals of ours.
If anyone has to plan, such plan has to strategic because if it is not, it might be trying in fertility, this life is not just for the weak but for strong that are smart and also possess the strategy in making their dreams to come through, there are people who become rich today because they were able to understand the principles that are involved in wealth generation.
Success comes with abiding by many rules, most times if you can suffer the flesh, you can never be rich, being hardworking does not make you sometimes but knowing how to apply what you know into action can make you to be rich, making friends that knows more than you can help you too, in pursuit for wealth, being resilience, focused and keeping right company that you can learn new things from can explode your wealth experience.

There is a saying that says “No time to waste time”
I will say every time wasted is an opportunity waste because time is an opportunity to try again and the moment we waste it we may or not see that opportunity again.
I will also say Risk taking is another way of achieving goals. Sometimes there some risk we fear to take though we might fail in the process of taking that risk but as you said consistency is very important, if we fail and try again, we fail again we should have the strength to try again knowing our destination. In life nothing good comes easy if it comes easy know it’s not good enough. With this being said I will encourage us to never give up on our dreams and goals.

Life follows due process and steady planning is advised if a person wants to succeed. We don't just live by what life decides to throw at us. We have the right to our own decision making. They say success lies in our hands, we are responsible for whatsoever outcome, be it good or bad, we ought to pick the mantle and make things happen. All you mentioned are good tools to achieving greater things and falling wanting may not get you the required outcome as expected.

Newbies abeg, make una learn how to quote. This kind of post too long to quote everything. Una quote just dey make the thread look very boring to make comments, how una go just line up quote the entire post of the op, and una know say the post dey long. I mean no disrespect but make una try learn abeg.

Normally person wey no plan just dey plan to fail. Even silence sef na answer, so when you say you wan dey silent to some kind things, silence mean many things. This life don pass the level wen we go just sit down make thing dey happen to our favor, if you try am, life go just dish potorpotor give you chop. The first thing wey I see important if you wan make out something from this life na discipline first, before any other thing. Aside from planning.

Them say practice make perfect, but if you practice the wrong things make you know say you go still dey perfect for the wrong things  oo. So in as much as we dey plan make we still make sure say na the right thing wey we dey plan for.
