Goal Setting Process
Steps to Success

1 - Define It!

• Distinguish between long-term and short-term goals – create both!
• Describe your goal in as much detail as you can.
• Frame your intention with positive language
• Describe why this is important to you? How will it change your life?
• How long will it take to accomplish? Be as realistic as you can.
• Is this a SMART goal?

2 – Commit to It!

• Do you have enough enthusiasm to commit to achieving this goal? Is it important enough?
• What will your life be like when you accomplish it? Tell a story.
• How will you know when you’ve achieved it?
• How will others know you’ve achieved it?

3 – Examine limitations and obstacles

• What’s stopping you from achieving your goals?
• What resources do you need?
• What difficulties do you expect to encounter?

4 – Create a detailed action plan.

• Chunk it down – break each task into smaller, more managable tasks.
• Develop a targeted action plan – what are the major steps involved? How will you divide them up into smaller steps?
• Take action every day, no matter how small.
