How would you like to increase the odds of achieving your goals? 你想有更多的机会实现你的目标吗?
Whether you desire to lose weight, create financial independence, build a healthy marriage, or raise responsible children, the formula for achieving any goal is the same. 不管你是想要减肥,实现经济独立,建立一个健康的婚姻,或养育富有责任感的孩子,实现任何目标的公式是一样的。
Here are 10 tips in sequential order that will help you increase the odds of achieving your goals:  (Each link is one of my related lessons.) 按顺序,这里有10个技巧将帮助你增加你达成目标的可能性:(每个链接是我的一个相关课程。)
1.  Identify what’s important to you! 1.确定对你来说什么是最重要的!
The only goals you will succeed in reaching are those that are truly important to you. 你会成功到达的唯一的目标是那些对你真正重要的目标。
If a goal is not meaningful or significant to you, you will quit when faced with obstacles. 对你来说，如果目标没有意义或不重要,当面对障碍时你会放弃。
Take 30 minutes and make a list of the things that are truly essential in your life; those that you highly value. 花30分钟,列出你生活中真正重要的东西,那些你高度重视的东西。
Then highlight the most important points on that list and set your goals. 然后在目标清单中强调最重要的点,并设定你的目标。
2.  Learn from those who have already achieved “your” goals. 2.从那些已经实现了“你”的目标的人学习。
Once you are clear on what you truly want to achieve, your next step is to learn what you need to know. 一旦你清楚你真正想要实现什么,下一步是学习你需要知道什么。
The best source of knowledge will come from those who have already reached goals similar to yours. 最好的知识来源，将来自那些已经达成和你目标类似的人群。
Identify people you respect and admire, who have achieved the goals you desire, and learn as much as you can from them. 确定你尊重和敬佩的人,那些取得了你渴望的目标的人,并尽可能多地向他们学习。
3.  Determine the person you need to become. 3.确定你需要成为的人。
Far too often people focus on what they need to do to achieve their goals and fail to consider who they must become. 人们往往关注他们需要做什么来达到他们的目标,没有考虑他们必须成为谁。
To accomplish something you have never accomplished before, you must be willing to do what you’ve never done before; 完成一些你之前从来没有完成的事,你必须愿意做你从未做过的,
go where you’ve never been before; become someone you’ve never been before. 去你从未到过的地方,成为和以前不一样的人。
As you learn from those who have achieved “your” goals, pay as much attention to their personal attributes and characteristics as you do to what they did to realize their goals. 当你从那些达成了“你的”目标的人身上学习,多关注他们的个人特质和特点,你就像他们为实现目标所做的一样，你也这么行动。
4.  Put together a plan. 4.建立一个计划。
After learning from and studying those who have been successful in reaching similar goals, your next step is to put together your plan. 在学习和研究那些已经成功实现类似的目标的人群后,下一步是制定你的计划。
You need to clearly outline what you need to do and when, step-by-step, and then reduce those steps into daily activities. 你需要明确规定,你需要做什么以及何时，然后一步一步的,在日常活动减少这些步骤。
Knowing exactly what you need to do every day is critical to achieving any worthwhile goal. 知道你每天需要做什么是实现任何有价值目标的关键。
5.  Ask, “Am I willing to pay the price required to achieve my goal? 5.问:“我是否愿意付出必要的代价实现我的目标?
After you complete your plan, be honest with yourself and determine if your goal is important enough to you that you will discipline yourself to do what’s required each day to achieve your goal. 在你完成你的计划后,诚实对待自己,确定你的目标是不是足够的重要，重要到你每天会训练自己做所需做的，来实现你的目标。
One of the biggest reasons people fail to reach their goals is because they are not willing to do what’s required over a sustained period of time.  How about you. 人们没能达到他们的目标，最大的一个原因,是因为他们不愿意做那些需要持续一段时间做的工作。你呢。
