Gooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you set goals for yourself? What are they?

I thought I had it all figured out when it came to goals. Then I learned a powerful new way of looking at goals. This new definition flipped what I knew about goals and goal setting on its head.

When we make goals they usually include a specific number. Like pounds lost or money accumulated. Life Coach, Develyn Steele suggests that these are not goals. He says that they are results of goals. So all this time I thought I was setting goals. When in fact I've only been writing out the results I want. Coach Steele suggests that instead of saying "I want to lose 12 pounds." Change the wording to: "I want to learn to eat healthy, exercise and take care of my body." That seems more effective long term, more lasting. If you think about it. 10 pounds can go and come right back. But if you work towards healthy eating and exercising, the result will be weight loss.

How do we apply this to The 5 Habits of Money?

Instead of setting goals of becoming a millionaire. Set a goal of mastering The 5 Habits of Money. One Habit at a time. With each Habit you work on, you will be increasing your net worth, regular income, and passive income. You can still write out the results you want from mastering money through The 5 Habits. Like: The result I want is a one million dollar net worth in the next 5 years.

How have I applied this to my goals?

Original goal: Become a millionaire by sharing The 5 Habits of Money with as many people as possible.

New goal: Become the best speaker and author on The 5 Habits of Money.

necessary regular activities: 1. Practice and speak more often. 2. Write 3-5 pages a day to finish The 5 Habits of Money book. 3. Promote The 5 Habits of Money.

ACTIONS:

1. REWRITE YOUR GOALS ACCORDING TO THIS NEW DEFINITION OF A GOAL.

2. LIST THE RESULTS YOU WANT.

3. MAKE NOTE OF WHAT YOU NEED TO DO ON A REGULAR BASIS TO OBTAIN YOUR GOAL.

4. START NOW, KEEP GOING.
