The Annual Goal Setting Workshop helps you live with intention and legacy. It guides you to recognize what is important in your life by identifying goals and themes that you wish to prioritize. It’s for anyone who wants to live a purposeful and meaningful life, including couples that want to work toward a common destination.

Great for:

•  People who want legacy, meaning and purpose in their life
•  People who are trying to draw closer to a significant other
•  People who have trouble recognizing opportunities or focusing on the things that are important to them
•  Anyone who is working on setting boundaries or has trouble saying “No” to things that keep them busy.

Each year, from mid-December through mid-January, something incredible happens. Contagious energy sweeps through the collective consciousness and invites each person to assess their year and look forward to the next with optimism. You don’t have to do a thing to have access to this energy. It is everywhere. Sometimes we listen to it and make a New Year’s Day resolution, other times we ignore it and let doubt get the best of us. Unfortunately, most people let the energy pass them by entirely.

Rather than do nothing, draw upon the new year momentum and maximize it. The Annual Goal Setting Workshop is a simple, yet powerful, process. It will solidify your legacy and create more purpose in your life 먹튀검증커뮤니티.

This exercise accelerates individuals toward a life lived well, with meaning, intention, and clarity. Decisions become easier with the help of your goals and especially your annual theme, which provides a basis for distinguishing opportunities from distractions. With this solid framework for getting in the right headspace, brainstorming goals, and selecting goals that fit, effective goal-setting goes from mysterious to easy.

Step 1: Celebrate the previous year’s achievements

The purpose of this step is two-fold. First, it’s good for legacy, as this becomes part of your personal history. Second, it puts you in a positive mindset of gratitude. This helps set a healthy foundation for positive goal planning.

Go crazy with this one. Write down as many things that you can possibly think of. More is always better when it comes to celebrations and gratitude.
Celebrations may include:

•  New traditions
•  Travel & trips
•  New people in your life
•  First-time milestones
•  Previous year’s accomplishments

 

Step 2: Summarize your previous year in one word

This helps you put a title on the previous year’s chapter and prepares you for crafting your next chapter, the upcoming year.

Make it personal. This becomes a staple in your legacy. It’s a way to reflect back on an entire year, and say “YES! This one thing is what my year was about!”

Keep it positive. If all you can think of is a tragedy, try to find the silver lining in it.

Examples:

•  Calling – when I heard my destiny calling me
•  Fatherhood – when I became a father
•  Adventure – the year I lived abroad

Step 3: Determine the theme for next year

What is this next year going to be about? Is it going to be about growth? Is it going to be about living with adventure? Is it going to be about working smarter? Figure out what this next year is going to mean for you. This will help you orient your goals and prioritize them.

Here are some of my own past themes:

•  Royal Identity ? embracing an attitude of abundance rather than scarcity
•  Modeling ? studying people with qualities, attitudes, and abilities that I want to have
•  Bold Action ? focusing on courage and bravery in my daily choices

Step 4: Set goals for the next year

How do you achieve your dreams? You can start by setting goals. Get excited and write your desires. Stretch and write things that seem just out of reach.

To maintain balance in your life set at least a couple goals in various categories. This is good for two reasons: it helps to maintain balance, and it helps to brainstorm goals within areas that you can grow.

Sample categories: Business/Career, Financial, Physical, Mindset/Education, Family, Spiritual, Lifestyle, Relationships.

Choose categories that work for you. I had one client that hated the words “Business” and “Lifestyle”, so those categories for him became “Contribution” and “Recreation”. Other categories I’ve seen in other people’s models include Travel, Environment, Mastery, Giving.

Two important guidelines for setting goals:

(1) Always start a goal with a VERB. This guarantees that your goal is action focused. It’s not what you want…it’s about what you do.

Examples:

•  START an online business
•  WRITE an ebook
•  SELL 10% more product volume

(2) Make sure to make it S.M.A.R.T

•  Specific ? Anyone can understand the goal.
•  Measurable ? You know when it’s accomplished.
•  Attainable ? You can do it. You are in control of the outcome.
•  Relevant ? It fits into your theme. It fits into who you are.
•  Time-bound ? It has a timeframe or due date.

Step 5: Choose your top priorities

Priorities help you understand what matters. Not all goals are equal. Some will greatly impact you, or the area of life you’ve categorized it in. You know what is most important, so trust yourself and choose.

Put a star next to each most important goal in each category. These are your top priorities. Then identify your top 3 overall goals with two stars. Finally, put a third star next to your most important goal.

Write a new list with your top goals, starting with the most important to the least important. This is called “force-ranking”.

Feeling stuck? One way to identify your top priority is to ask, “What goal, if accomplished, will make many of my other goals easier or unnecessary?”

Step 6: Identify behaviors to put your goals on auto-pilot

This is where dreams become reality. It’s putting legs to your goals. Ask yourself, “What behaviors do you need to create in your life to guarantee that I will accomplish my top priority goal?” You can substitute the word “behaviors” for “action items” or “next steps”.

Your behaviors could be daily behaviors (habits), weekly behaviors, monthly behaviors, or one-time behaviors.

For example, you may have a goal to “launch a side business”

•  One-time behavior: write a business plan
•  Daily behavior: block out 45 minutes daily to work on your side business
•  Weekly behavior: meet with an accountability partner or coach

Tips for coaches

•  Coaches can choose to take this whole exercise and facilitate it with a client over a 2-hour session or group workshop or they can have the client prep steps 1-5 and do step 6 as a follow-up session. Step 6 can be difficult to do on their own since habit formation doesn’t come naturally to most.
•  Encourage them to get into a good physiological state (rested and fed).
•  If they have a significant other in their life and their goal is oneness, this exercise is very powerful to do with a spouse or life partner.
•  Encourage your clients to block out an entire morning, afternoon, or evening. Though this can be done in 1 hour, it’s better to take time with it. One effective way to do this is to invite them with a calendar invite of 2 hours and then get them to commit to limiting their distractions during that time. Text them before a word of encouragement. And text them 1 hour after asking them how it went.
