EFFECTIVE
GOAL
SETTING
WHY YOU SHOULD USE GOAL SET TING
INTRODUCTION
• According to Merriam-Webster a goal is: the
end toward which effort is directed.
• Goals are dreams and wants, except a goal
is more specific.
• The purpose of a goal is to give you
something to aim for, something that you long
to achieve.
• The goal should make your life better in some
way.
• Goals can be short-, mid- and long-term
http://eternalspiralbooks.com/success-habits 2
TYPES OF GOALS• Long-term Goals:
1-year goals, 5, 10 years.
• Mid-term Goals:
goals for the next 3 months, 6 months and
9 months
• Short-term Goals:
1-30 days from now
• Goals help you set priorities and keep
moving forward in your life
http://eternalspiralbooks.com/success-habits 3
"Time is life. To waste your time is to
waste your life; to manage your time
is to manage your life."
-- Alan lakein
How are you spending YOUR time?
http://eternalspiralbooks.com/success-habits 4
SETTING GOALS
• Learning how to set goals is as important as
knowing what the goal should contain.
• There are a number of different systems,
such as SMART goals, and FRAME of mind.
http://eternalspiralbooks.com/success-habits 5
SMART GOALS
• Specific-Be clear about what you want to
accomplish
• Measurable-Be sure you can measure your
goal in some way in order to be able to
track your progress
• Attainable-Make sure it is possible, with
effort, to achieve your goal
• Relevant-Make sure it is something
important to your life
• Time-bound-Set a deadine by which you
wish to accomplish the goal
http://eternalspiralbooks.com/success-habits 6
FRAME OF MIND
• Fantasize - Dream about your best life. Ask
yourself: what do you want to be doing in 1 year? 5
years? Who to you want to become?
• Reality - Fantasies can become reality, depending
on how much effort you are willing to put in
• Aim - Define your goal(s) by striking a balance
between Fantasy and Reality; set a high but
realistic goal you can achieve if you work at it
• Method – Create an action plan as to how you can
accomplish the goal. Don’t be afraid to ask for help
or take a course or get coaching if you need it.
• Evaluation – Track your results to see how you are
progressing. Don’t give up-learn from any mistakes
or setbacks.
http://eternalspiralbooks.com/success-habits 7
• Not having goals is a bit like driving cross-country
without a road map or GPS. Where are you
going? How do you plan to get there?
• If you have ever sat down on a Sunday evening
in front of a pile work and asked yourself, "What
happened to the entire weekend?" then you
need to set goals and priorities.
• Goals help you determine the right roads to take
to get where you want to go
http://eternalspiralbooks.com/success-habits 8
Do I Really Need to Set Goals?
SMARTER GOALS
• Evaluate-Track your progress regularly and
see how well or badly things are doing
• Review/Re-set-Remind yourself regularly of
what you are trying to accomplish. If you are
on track, great. If you are not, then it is time
to re-set the goal.
• Resetting can ensure that you don’t give up
completely and waste all of your hard work
• Reviewing can be done on your own, or with
a friend, colleague, or accountability partner
who is helping you with your goal
• An accountability partner can keep you on
track-that’s why they weigh in at Weight
Watchers-to be accountable to someone
http://eternalspiralbooks.com/success-habits 9
STEPS TOWARD SUCCESS-GO
FOR YOUR GOALS
• " The establishment of a clear and central
purpose or goal in life is the starting point
of all success." -- Brian Tracy
http://eternalspiralbooks.com/success-habits 10
1. SET GOALS
• Identify what is important to you. What do you want
to accomplish?
• What does your ideal life look like?
• Think in relation to:
• Job
• Family life
• Income
• Relationships
• Spiritual practice
• Home environment and location
• And so on
http://eternalspiralbooks.com/success-habits 11
2. IDENTIFY POSSIBLE STRATEGIES
OR OBJECTIVES TO REACH EACH
GOAL
• Make a list of what you feel are the best and most
effective ways of reaching the goals you have
already identified.
• For example, if you decide you want to live and work
in Ireland, what would you have to do in order to
make that a reality?
• Passport
• Work permit
• Jobs you could do
• And so on
http://eternalspiralbooks.com/success-habits 12
3. SELECT THE BEST
STRATEGIES
• Now that you have made a list of several
ways to achieve your goal, recognize which
of these strategies will work best for you.
• Should you try to do it all online?
• Or should you plan at least one trip to Ireland
to scope out the possibilities, get to know the
country, places to rent, and so on?
http://eternalspiralbooks.com/success-habits 13
4. CREATE ACTION STEPS FOR
EACH STRATEGY.
• Once you have listed your strategies, break them
down into action steps
• What detailed and specific things do you have to
do to accomplish each strategy s you can
ultimately reach your goal?
• For example, going to Ireland:
• Passport
• Airfare
• X days
• A list of possible job contacts
• A place to stay
• A budget for food and travel, and so on
http://eternalspiralbooks.com/success-habits 14
• "An unwritten want is a wish, a dream, a
never happen. The day you put your goal in
writing is the day it becomes a commitment
that will change your life. Are you ready?"
-- Tom Hopkins
http://eternalspiralbooks.com/success-habits 15
BE SURE YOUR GOALS
ARE YOUR OWN 1
• Setting goals is a means of identifying your aims
in life and mapping out how you are going to
accomplish them.
• Your goals should be your own, not what other
people want you to do, be, or become
• By writing down your goals you are committing
yourself to accomplishing them.
• Therefore, make sure that your goals are
important to YOU!
http://eternalspiralbooks.com/success-habits 16
BE SURE YOUR GOALS
ARE YOUR OWN 2
• Motivation and commitment are what make you
strive to achieve your goal
• They give you the push, desire, and
determination to complete all of the steps we
need to take to reach the goal.
• Motivation levels can go up and down. Once you
have your goal in mind, write your motivation
story as to why you want to achieve that goal.
http://eternalspiralbooks.com/success-habits 17
SAMPLE MOTIVATION
STORY
• A lot of what we do at Eternal Spiral Books is
motivated by helping others live their best life
and gain the skills they need to succeed.
• In terms of the money, it’s not to be rich and
famous, it is for dog rescue and fostering
children. We know the profits we make can
ease a great deal of suffering for the helpless.
• What motivates YOU to get out of bed in the
morning and work towards your goals?
http://eternalspiralbooks.com/success-habits 18
COMMITMENT 1
• Once you feel motivated, you should also feel
committed to achieving your goal, even though it
will require work, effort and sometimes sacrifice
• Commitment creates accountability-we promise
to undertake something, and keep at it until we
succeed
• What will be the consequences of not following
through and achieving the goal?
• For example, will there be a negative
consequence such a losing money, a job, your
reputation?
• If you quit your job to start your own business,
what happens if you are not committed to the
work involved in setting up and running it?
http://eternalspiralbooks.com/success-habits 19
COMMITMENT 2
• What will be the positive results of being
committed to your course of action?
• More money?
• Fame?
• A promotion?
• Motivation and commitment are specific to your
situation and life. Only YOU can set goals you
will be motivated to work on and committed
enough to stick to even when the going gets
tough.
• The more personal you make your motivation
and commitment to each goal, the more
motivated you will be to accomplish your goal.
http://eternalspiralbooks.com/success-habits 20
BE FLEXIBLE
• Be ready to re-adjust your goals and not give
up on them.
• If they are too easy, they won't be worthwhile.
• If they are too tough, you will start thinking
about giving up
• If your goal is a big one:
• Set small goals, deadlines and milestones.
• Small victories will all add up to big
successes.
http://eternalspiralbooks.com/success-habits 21
WHY WE DON’T ACHIEVE
OUR GOALS
• We don’t write them down
• We don’t track them
• They are not really ours, but someone else’s
• They are not specific enough
• They are not realistic
• You try to focus on too many at a time
• You don’t have a strategy and action steps
• You don’t have a friend or accountability partner to help
you track your progress
• You don’t have the skills or info you need at this time .
• You are not committed enough
• You quit, rather than re-set your goals.
http://eternalspiralbooks.com/success-habits 22
THE BENEFITS OF
SETTING GOALS
• Are more motivated
• Have a clear path
• Suffer less from stress and anxiety
• Concentrate better
• Show more self-confidence
• Perform better
• Feel happier
• Increase your self-esteem
• Become your best self
• Live your best life
http://eternalspiralbooks.com/success-habits 23
CONCLUSION
• SMART and FRAME goal setting can be 2 of
the most effective tools you can use to start
becoming your best self and living the life of
your dreams.
• If you’ve been feeling stuck in a rut, it’s time
to get into a whole new groove with more
effective goal setting and follow-through’
• To your success!
