GOALS AND GOAL SETTING...Have you done yours for 2010?


Does goal setting really work? YOU BET IT DOES!
Cheryl and I have done our goal setting meeting every year for the last TEN years. We have done 30 day goals, then 60 day, 90 day, 6 month, 1 year, 5 year, 10 year and this year we are plotting out goals for a 20 year mark.
Several years ago one of our five year goals was to travel the world. To see the places most only dream of. Have we gotten to them all? Nope......but we did get to Hawaii, London, Barcelona, Malta, Nice France, Rome Italy, Naples Italy, Isle of Capri, Sorento Italy, Pisa and Florance. We would have never gotten out of Dallas, Texas had we not put a game plan together. We planned out our business, how to build it to a size that would afford those exotic places. In doing so, we became top ranking leaders with a company who gave a trip to the Mediterranean. So by putting together goals with action steps we built a team, one of the rewards was the trip..... I am totally convinced that we would have not made the rank had we not had a clear vision of where we were going and how we were going to get there. Your goals are like your GPS in your car, by defining your goals and knowing how you were going to acomplish that goal is the engine. The GPS by itself is not going to get you there, you must have the engine as well. Is this making sense?? OK lets get to work:

GOALS AND GOAL SETTING;
Nothing becomes DYNAMIC until it becomes SPECIFIC!
Be thankful, there's a lot to be thankful for. Look around you, you will never be given more until you become a good steward of what you have.
Look how far you have come and the good you have done....
What do you want to do? If you knew you couldn't fail, what would that be, what would you want to do then?
Who would you do it with?
Who do you want to share it with?
What would you want to see, where would you want to go?
What are you working towards? Maybe you've got something in your heart that you have a desire to do.....NOW'S THE TIME TO GET SPECFIC.........

BE SURE TO CHECK BACK TOMORROW FOR THE REST OF THE MAP, THE BLUEPRINT TO SETTING YOUR GOALS AND SETTING FORTH A GAME PLAN.....REMEMBER A GOAL IS A DREAM WRITTEN DOWN WITH A DATE TO ACHIEVE IT BY.....WRITE DOWN SOME GOALS AND CHECK BACK TOMORROW!!
