Roll your sleeves up and go to work on moving down the path of getting what you want. Now that you have reviewed critical information about goal setting, you can dial back to your wants and select your top five. Spend time asking yourself a few hard questions about the top five wants you are prepared to shape into goals.
Do you truly desire this goal? Are you on fire about this goal?
Can you visualize yourself accomplishing this goal? Once you can see it, can you feel it?
How will your life be better when you make this goal a reality?
What obstacles do you foresee?
What will you need to learn, need to do in order to reach this goal?
Who will you look to for support?
“Life can be pulled by goals just as surely as it can be pushed by drives.”
Viktor Frankl
Next, determine where the goal fits. What section of your notebook should the goal come to life? You might see it impacting more than one section or even all of them but still place your goal in the one section you think is the best fit. Remember, these are just the first of many more to come so expect some sections might be empty on your first five.
Write out one goal to a page, leaving 10 blank pages behind the goal page for you to work out your strategies for accomplishing the goal. Include your answers to the above questions for each goal in your notebook.
Coaching yourself is the pathway to happiness and personal satisfaction. Coaching revolves around a combination of self-evaluation, personal responsibility, accountability and self-correction. It is a vital tool in that it will help your success ratio on the job and in your cherished or necessary relationships. As you learn to coach yourself you will have the opportunity to coach others. As the teacher you will be the student.
