Goal Setters &

Drifters

People who set Goals People who don’t

Know where they’re going (Proactive) Just float along (Reactive)

Have a Target to focus energy and effort on

Spend all their energy – mostly spinning wheels

Have a Purpose and a Cause Spend a lot of time wondering “What am I supposed to be doing?”

Have contentment and peace of mind knowing their efforts are moving them toward a goal

Heard to utter the phrase “Why do I even bother?” and “What is the point?”

State the Goal

Clarify your Goal in your mind & heart in such a way that it is simple to state and simple to understand

State it in the ‘Will Do’, not the ‘Want To’

Stating YOUR Goal to others is imparting information – NOT asking approval or belief

Set a Deadline

A Goal with a Deadline is a TARGET

Hitting a target requires aim

A Goal without a Deadline is a daydream, not a TARGET

Aim at nothing, & you will hit it almost every time

List the Benefits to Achieving the Goal

This is where you lay out the ‘carrot’.

List as many Benefits as you can possibly think of that you will receive from Achieving your Goal.

Law of Attraction Thoughts create realities Birds of a feather

Identify the ObstaclesDefeat the attitude that Obstacles are STOP SIGNS.

Obstacles & Impossible share some letters, NOT definitions

Add value & meaning to the accomplishment of your goal. (BBA)

List them so you can plan how to overcome them.

List the Skills you need to attain the Goal

This ‘Skill Inventory’ is crucial because any skill you lack will appear BEFORE it becomes a matter of success or failure.

‘Dr. Google’ &

‘Professor YouTube’

Identify the People, Groups, & Organizations that can assist

Do not be afraid or embarrassed to ask for HELP (Charity?)

Asking for a Hand UP is RESPECTED among high achievers, & leads to Mentors & Coaches.

Time not wasted ‘rediscovering’ something is time spent making progress toward accomplishing your Goal.

Develop a Plan

MAKE A PLAN NOW:

WHEN are you going to do the research?

WHEN are you going to talk to that Professor about mentoring you?

WHEN are you going to do the analysis of the demographics of your city to see if it will support your idea for a business?

WHAT? WHEN? HOW?

“Those who fail to plan – plan to fail.”-Dale Carnegie
