Most probably, you really have one goal. But since you're only one of the more than six billion souls inhabiting this planet, you will need to have several goals to help you achieve your ultimate goal. Thus, you will need to classify these several goals into (a) goals that will lead directly to the final goal, and (b) goals that will help in beating the odds that prevent you from realizing your final goal. The athlete, or members of a team should exude not only physical discipline, but also a combination of mental and emotional stability. The coach or team leader is tasked with the most ardent role of providing motivation and mental and physical conditioning to the members of the team. Be it a basketball, hockey, baseball or whatever type of sports it may be, the team members should be really given the proper and appropriate mental, emotional and physical conditioning and support they so dearly need. Employee Goal Setting If you are a boss or a manager and you have ambitious and great plans to accelerate the overall development and progress of your company or team, the first thing you would logically do is to make sure your employees are on the same sentiment as you are. The company would not move forward and achieve goals and targets if the team players, the workers or employees that make up the group are not participating or cooperating whole-heartedly. Or maybe you're into belief that nothing is happening with professionally; you're stuck with a profession that is really at variance with what you want. If this is so, then you may have missed the process of professional goal setting. You need to undergo with one now. There is also a possibility that you're having a hard time assessing whether the company you're working with, or even your personal career, is not working as it should be. For others, career goal setting is no more than a few minutes of talking it out with some friends, or silently thinking about it, albeit melancholy, over a bottle of beer. But the best way of setting your career goal is during your most rational periods. After all, what you are about to set is a career goal that either will spell disaster to your life, or will bring endless blessings. Life goals Life goals are goals or target outcomes that you want to achieve in your life. Life goals are commonly referred to as goals that help one person choose what path to take or help one define what he really wants to achieve in his life time. That sets life goals from the common and simple short-term goals you set everyday in your life.
