Goal Setting:-
It defines as an activity of selecting the objective an individual want to accomplish. It
involves preparation of action plan that are designed to motivate and guide a person towards

achieving a goal(Kuenze and et. al., 2021). Setting goal means person has committed their
feelings and action to attain that object.
Seven goals created by BRIAN:-
Brian has created seven step success formula that anyone can use it and achieve the
goals accordingly. The seven goals is as follows:-
 Decide what you want:- The first step is an individual should decide what they
want in life. It is necessary because without deciding individual does not achieve
anything in life.
 Write it down:- After deciding individual should write it down in detail and clearly.
If the goal is not written it is actually not a goal. It is just a wish and no efforts
behind it. This step increases the chances of achieving goal. Without writing it is just
an imagination in your mind and if the individual wants to achieve the goal then they
have to write it down.
 Set a deadline:- Individual should set a deadline for their goal. Deadline acts as an
forcing system in their mind. This motivates individuals to do the required things to
make goal comes true.
 Make a list:- Individual should make a list of all the things that they are going to do
to achieve the goal. They should write the activities that comes to their mind until
the list is complete.
 Organize your list:- Manage the list so prepared into plan. Individual have to decide
what they have to do first and so on. Decide what is important and what is not
important. Then write down the plan the same way the blueprint should create.
 Take action:- In this step individual should take actions on their plans. They have to
do something and keep doing but keeps them busy. Without taking action individual
cannot achieve the desired goal.
 Do something everyday:- Individual should do something every single day to
achieve their goal. They should develop a decision to do something that moves them
to attain their goal. The little efforts that individual makes on daily basis will lead
them to the path of achieving the goal.
