Setting goals is something that people only seem to do as a New Year's resolution. You know the ones: give up smoking, get fit, see friends more often. But if you've ever set yourself a New Year's resolution, you'll also know that they are terribly easy to break, and by the time February comes along it's been forgotten. But setting your goals down on paper is a great technique for getting work on cruise ships.

It is a matter of commitment. You have to make yourself committed to the task at hand, and this can be achieved by writing down your goals onto a piece of paper. This literally means writing something like:

"By March this year I'll have a job on a cruise ship."

This is what I did when I first set about finding work on cruise ships many years ago. I wrote down on a bit of paper that I would be working on a cruise ship in a few months time, and I set my heart on achieving that aim.

It may not sound like much, but it was a real motivator. I stuck it on my bedroom door so that I could read it every day, and it provided me with the motivation to get out there and find the work on cruise ships that I knew was out there.

Despite not having any experience, I figured that everyone has to start somewhere. It looked virtually impossible to me, but I knew that if I kept on motivating myself to look for work on cruise ships then I would be successful.

The road wasn't easy, and I experienced lots of setbacks. I spent a lot of hours looking for jobs, and although at the time I thought these were wasted, I now realize that it was all part of the process.

In the end I succeeded, and that note of paper that I scribbled down months before inspired me to success.

I soon managed to get a contract, and I even beat the time limit that I had set myself by a couple of months. And although it had been hard work, I didn't worry too much about all the hours that I had put in when I was cruising around the Maldives.

It seems simple, but writing your goals down means that you are making a real commitment to yourself. It is so easy to veer off course without the right dedication to find a job on a cruise ship, and it can be easy to give up along the way. The key is to persevere, to get through the obstacles in your way, and to set yourself the goals you need to succeed.

Write your goal down on a piece of paper to help you get work on cruise ships. Keep it close to you, maybe stick it somewhere you will see it every day, or even carry it around with you as a constant reminder.

Finding work on cruise ships can be done, but it is too easy to forget about your targets and your goals if you don't write them down. By writing them on a piece of paper, you are constantly reminded about what you are trying to do, what you have set your heart on achieving.

And when you get that job you've been hoping for, when you're cruising around some exotic part of the world, meeting some great people, and having the time of your life, you'll be glad that you made the decision to write down your goal and stick to it.
