Fantasize - Dream your wildest dreams and ask yourself: what do you want to be doing in 1 year? 5 years? What kind of person do I want to be?

Reality - Fantasies can become

reality, depending on how hard you are willing to work for them.

Aim - Define your goal(s) by striking

a balance between Fantasy and Reality; set a high but realistic goal.

Method – Be truthful to yourself by

narrowing your choices or goals to the ones you really intend to accomplish. Don’t be afraid to ask for help.

Evaluation - Process the results, but

don’t make it the last step; evaluation should be on going.

Mistakes in Goal Setting The goal was not written down. Rewards for achieving the goals were not given.

Keep changing or switching goals with the weather

The person who set the goal has not told anyone else for added accountability, help and support.

So what did we learn

Summary Make sure the goal you are working for is something you

really want, not just something that sounds good. A goal can not contradict any of your other goals. Develop goals in the 6 areas of life:

Family and Home

Career and Finance

Spiritual and Ethical

Physical and Health

Social and Cultural

Mental and Educational

Write your goal in the positive instead of the negative.

Write your goal out in complete detail. By all means, make sure your goal is high enough. This is the most important, write down your goals.
