How many times have you broken a New Year Resolution? How many goals have you set for yourself, only to never achieve them?
For years I would set goals and about a month or less later… they would be kicked to the way side, distracted by life.
Today I was listening to my good friend Rachel O’Brien-Eddy as she talked about, The Ulitimate Guide to Goal Setting.
I got a copy of her free CD and downloaded it onto my ipod so that I can listen to it on my run.
The insight she shares on just how powerful goal setting is, had me rethinking my goals and what I am doing to achieve them.
Let’s be honest… we all have a desire to want more in our lives. More family time. More money. More time. More control over our life.
But how many of us develop goals to make this happen?
What is our game plan? What has to be done daily to achieve our goals? I call these the non-negotiable. They have to be done before your head hits the pillow at night.
The Secret to Goal Setting
I think Rachel said is best in her free audio download. Set goals that are congruent with your believe.
Goal Setting Plan of Action
First thing you need to do is set a goal for yourself? What do you want to achieve?
There are four main areas of our lives that we set goals in:
- Family
- Personal
- Professional
- Other
Create your dream goal and then create the non-negotiable’s that need to be done to achieve this goal.
Daily actions. I give a few examples in the video.
Give yourself a time frame. Most of us work well when we have some structure around our goals. Helps us to maintain focus.
You absolutely have the ability right now to change your life. You just have to choose to do so.

Great story on your video about setting goals. I assume that the 3 pennies were moved only when he found someone to agree to a presentation or to a meeting? Hey I got my goal this month, and I am really working hard like you, to achieve it. Thanks for telling it like it needs to be told!
Hey Jaye, In the beginning it was if he just spoke to someone about his opportunity. At some point when you talk to 21 people a week, 84 people a month.. someone is bound to want to hear a presentation and join your opportunity.
