Goal Setting & Vision Boards

Goal Setting….

·  Why bother?

o  Goal setting is a powerful process for personal planning

o  Helps you to get more done in less time

o  Builds confidence

o  Helps to align you feelings, thoughts and actions in a powerful and positive way

·  Who does it?

o  Professional business people

o  Top-notch athletes

o  Young children!

o  Pretty much everybody!

·  Methods for goal setting

o  SMART goals

§  Specific; Measurable; Attainable ; Relevant ; Time-bound

·  For example, instead of having “to write a best selling book” as a goal, it is more powerful to say “To have my book completed by December 31, 2010.”

o  Tony Robbins method….a process to identify, clarify and integrate positive and powerful life goals for the near/mid and long term.

·  Tips for keeping goals

o  Make the right goals…ones that are in line with your core values

o  Get your friends involved!

o  Seek out mentors and role models

o  Look at them EVERY DAY….INSPIRE YOURSELF every day
