In fairness, I read the blogs, Ii listened to the podcasts, I watched the videos...and I did it with an open heart and I open mind.
Each time, I was hoping for something NEW. Something POWERFUL.
Here's the deal about goal setting - it's like bathing. Or riding a bike.
Once you know the fundamentals, there's only so much "new" you can put on it.
Doesn't matter what you call your process, doesn't matter what color/size book you put it in, doesn't matter if you learned about it on a free website or in a paid seminar.
The truth of the matter is that there are only 4 things you need to know:
1) If you don't write your goals down, and you don't review them daily, you are handicapping yourself. Both halves of this statement are an absolute must, so let's say it again: Write your goals down, review them daily.
2) You need to have a big enough "Why". Why do you want this goal? Why is it important to you. If you can't give a compelling why, you are handicapping yourself. If YOU don't care about your goals, no one else will.
3) You need a handful of people around you who have DONE it already, who are GREAT at it, and who are willing to hold you ACCOUNTABLE. I don't care if you call it a Mastermind or a Circle of Influence or "upping your friend game". The only way to become great is to be around great.
4) Take Action Daily. If you aren't working on your compelling goal every day, then it's not compelling. If you aren't willing to fail, you aren't willing to learn. Take Action, learn from your successes and failure, and then take MORE action.
Really, that's it.
If you are going to pay for classes, seminars, books or lessons on "how to set goals" then I just saved you a ton of time and money.
All kidding aside, you SHOULD pay for the right TOOLS.
- Write your goals in a journal.
- Pay to join a mastermind or get mentoring if you can't get that kind of mentorship for free.
- Buy whatever tool, app or widget that will keep you in front of your goals and on your mission.
But DO it.
Take Action.
