Well, I hope you're getting a little bit excited about your goals, because pretty soon you're going to be clear on the goals that you have for the rest of your life. And you're going to be affected because you have those goals in front of you. So, let's get started with part one of our goal setting workshop. I'd like you to get your paper out. Again, if you don't already have it with you and get a new piece of paper, we're going to start something fresh, more or less. So we've talked about short term goals and long term goals.

Now, I want you to think about these slightly differently. Now, with your short term goals. I want you to think of those as your confidence builders. As you accomplish your short term goals. They should give you more energy into focusing on your long term goals, the more successes that you have with your short term goals. They're going to help aid you in accomplishing your long term goals, which you want to refer to or think of as your dreams.

To be a little more specific with short term and long term, I want you to think of short term as under five years, and long term is over five years. In the previous lesson, you categorize your goals into 135 and 10 years. So let's lump the one in three as your short term and the five and 10 as your long term. Now, there are different types of short term and long term goals. One is economic goals, to are your things, the things you want to own and possess. And three is your personal development.

We want to make a list of all of your short term and long term goals you can come up with on a sheet of paper, I want you to divide your list into short term and long term goals. And then we're going to break them up into these other three categories. So on that piece of paper on the left side, create a column for short term. And on the right side, create a column for long term, and then create an area for economic things and personal development. Now, you should already have a list of, let's say, 20 to 40 items for your goals in general, take what you wrote down on that list and transfer them over to this new piece of paper in this format, go ahead, push pause, and work on it. And we'll we'll come back to it later.

Don't worry if it's not as complete as you're hoping we will revisit. Now let's think a little bit more about these goals. Let's start with your economic goals. These are things like income, business profit, how much money do you want to make and by what date? How much money do you want to say? And by what date?

And what about investing? Have you thought about that? How much money would you like to invest? In by when? Go ahead, push, pause and write down your goals for today regarding your economic goals, your money goals. Did you know that only the top 5% of people make, keep and update their economic goals?

That should make you feel pretty good because you're on your way. Number two is things. What things do you want? What do you want to own? What do you want to possess. Again, transfer the items you made earlier on your previous piece of paper onto this new piece of paper under the category of things.

Press pause and make sure you've completed that as best possible. Okay, you know, it's fun as you list the major things you want to own and by win, what's good is as you accomplish these goals, check them off. This helps get you excited, it builds momentum and increases your confidence pushing you further toward accomplishing those long term term goals. And thirdly, personal development. Now think of the person who you want to become. What skills do you need to acquire?

What information do you need to have? What about you personally? How do you want to improve yourself? Maybe your habits, your personality, your health, push, pause and complete this section on personal development. Don't forget your short term and long term goals. Now, as we think more about personal development, what about books?

What books have you read recently? Or are you currently reading? Think about how often do you read? Do you read books for entertainment, or to improve yourself? I highly suggest make reading books a part of your goals. So what books can you think of that you'd like to start reading?

Alright, push pause again. add those to your list in personal development. Still regarding personal development, listen to what one of the greatest experts on personal development had to say about the topic. This is a fantastic quote, please understand it and try to live by it. It goes like you see on your screen, work harder on yourself than you do on your job. Because if you work hard on your job, you'll make a living, you'll make money you'll do okay.

However, if you work hard on yourself, you can make a fortune. Quite often you'll find that income rarely exceeds someone's personal development. That means rarely would someone be paid more than the value they bring to a company, organization or another person. Now let's take a look at all the goals you've just listed in the categories of economic things and personal development. Take a quick look and count. How many economic goals do you have?

How many thing goals do you have? And how many personal development goals do you have? Is it fairly balanced? Or do you have a lot more on one side than the other, especially take a look at your personal development account. If you don't have a lot of personal development goals, you want to maybe rethink that because it's the personal development goals that will feed the economic successes and the thing successes. And when it comes to these three categories, economic things and personal development, it's good to have goals for things, but we're going to focus on economic and personal development goals, because it is these goals that bring you success, real success.

And once you have success, you can make your own choices on what things you want to get. And as you work on a car Wishing your goals. Remember that we don't always succeed at the first attempt. That's just natural. Actually, it often takes us several tries to win. So, as you see some successes, and as you see some failures don't give up.

We grow from two things, the joy of winning, and the pain of losing. Be happy when you win, and learn from when you lose. But don't let losing defeat you. We all must lose at some point. Failure is a great teacher. And as you take a look at your goals, some may be relatively easy to accomplish, while others require time and effort.

Put a checkmark next to the goals that take time and effort. plan to celebrate once you accomplish these goals. How do you plan to celebrate when you reach some of those goals? Okay, now it's time to get to our worksheet. You've put a lot of hours On your scratch paper. Now we want to transfer these ideas into a more solid form, which is your worksheet.

And this worksheet is called your goal setting worksheet. Now refer to your notes, I want you to write your goals in the order of importance to you within their categories. Again, short term goals are under five years, and long term goals are over five years. Take a moment to assign the numbers with one being the most important and then go from there. Do this separately for short term and long term goals. Remember to make them SM ma RT goals, your SMART goals.

Later, you can make copies of this worksheet and enter your goals or you can keep a copy of all your written goals on a piece of paper. That's really up to you. So just to clarify again, here we have our goal setting worksheet. First, we start with our short term goals and I live About 15 goal areas for you, if you have more, just use another piece of paper or print this worksheet out again, make sure you have your goals and their due dates here. And this is your list of importance. So short term goal number one should be the most important goal for you here.

And then all the way down to 15 being the least important of all of these 15 goals. And I put only 10 areas because typically, people have fewer long term goals than short term. If you need more space and I provided here just print another copy. And don't forget, Goal number one for as long term is your highest priority goal. Now, once you finished this goal setting worksheet, no matter what you do, make sure you have these written down. Make sure you have your goals on a piece of paper, whether it's your own paper or this worksheet and put it somewhere visible where you can See it every day.

That way, it's always in the back of your mind. It's always present. So you're always conscious of working on those goals. Okay, ladies and gentlemen, I know it's a lot of work. But this is really the hardest lesson in all 12 of these core lessons. And it's also really important that you take the time to go through the the steps and complete them as best possible.

So let's recap what we went over in this particular lesson. One, we talked about economic goals, what are the money goals, the monetary goals that you want to the thing goals, those things that you want to own and possess and their personal development, those things where you want to become a better person tomorrow than you are today. For Don't forget to grow from your experiences, especially your failures. Yours make you stronger and they prepare you for future successes. Five, make sure you celebrate life isn't worth living unless you have fun, right? So when you do succeed, celebrate, do something special.

And finally, keep your goals visible, you've got to see him. Number one, you've got to write them down. And two, you've got to post them somewhere that you can always look at. Great. We've done a lot of work here. We still have a little bit more to do.

So let's get ready for the next section. Our workshop part two, which is based on goal strategy.
