Goal setting Jim Rohn simple formula for goal-setting
1) divided goals into two parts
Goal setting: first is long range long range goals
that's your dreams, for the next 3, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 years, actually the rest of your life,
you've got to keep dreaming Ronald Reagan presidents said to the joint session of Congress "the Republic is a dream, and if we don't keep dreaming we will lose the Republic".
your future is a dream, for yourself, and for your family, Where you want to go? what do you want to do? what do you want to be? what do you want to see? you've got to dream dreams
there's a Bible phrase that says "without dreams and visions people perish" you've got to have something to go for, that inspires the heart and the soul.
without dreams, we all will die
you've got to dream, don't lose your dream for yourself, for your future, for your family, the dreams of love, and enterprise, and travel, and doing things, becoming something unique on your journey here.
Goal setting: the second part short-range goals
that's your goals for tomorrow, this week, this month, this year, the immediate future, we call these confidence builders because if you set up something short-range, go for it get it work hard to accomplish it, that starts building your strong feelings, to go for your dreams,
now I've
2) divided goals into three categories here they are
- number one is Economic: your goals for money, income, make sure you've got your economics well-planned, economics plays a major role in everybody's life, economics is major, which means it ought to be meticulously well planned for tomorrow, this week, this month, this year.
make sure you've got your economics well planned if you want to join the top 5%
- the second category of goals, make a list of the things you want, and on my list of things now, I put everything, little things as well as major things, it doesn't matter how small it is, it goes on my list, I used to just put major things, (cars, homes...) I don't do that anymore, I now load my list with everything, and the reason is part of the fun of having a list is, checking it off at the end of the day if
when you check off something major celebrate, that's an important point to make, celebrate your achievements, live it up, have a party when you reach something you've worked for, for awhile, see we all grow from two experiences, one is called the pain of losing, the other one is called the joy of winning, we need both of them amplify them as much as you can which also means, make losing painfully, if you set up something, food around didn't get it, put it on yourself. on the other side, if you did get it, congratulate yourself, self-congratulations is a sign of maturity.
- the third category personal development, put those goals together, personal development goals, that's your goal is to be stronger, more decisive via speaker, be a leader, learn a language, all kinds of skills the personal development skills, that's what brings good things to your life, the person you've become, more skillful.
3) the simple formula for setting goals
it goes like this,
Step 1: Work on your goals. setting goals is plain hard work, you've got to be a good planner, somebody once wisely said, 'the people who fail to plan, are planning to fail' so work on your goals.
step 2: write your goals down that's so important, I teach my staff around the world, put your goals in your journal because one of the major people you want to study, is, yourself say, here's the list of goals I put together three weeks ago, here's the list of goals I put together two years ago, here's some of the changes I made, rearrange me of my priorities, I scratched these off, I put these on, I've gotten these study, your accomplished, study what your desires are, put them on paper, write them down, here's another reason for writing your goals down, it shows you're serious, get serious, about your goals , put them on paper write them down.
step 3: check the size of your goals and the kinds of goals, how big they are ,what kind they are affects you, and here's one of the important phrases, your goals are affecting you whatever they are, your goals affect your handshake, your goals affect your attitude, personality your goals affect the way you walk, the way you talk, the way you dress, all day long, we're being affected by our goals, now some people have goals, but they have such lousy goal the effect is bad,
I asked a guy one time what are your goals for this month the guy said, look if I could just scrape up
enough money to pay these lousy bills, that was He's goal, I'm not saying it isn't the goal, it's a goal, but it's such a lousy goal, the effect is bad, you don't jump out of bed on Monday morning and
say oh boy another chance to go out and scrape up the money to pay my lousy bills, so you don't do that, usually you say oh not another Monday. and some people have so given up on life they have joined the thank God it's Friday club, how sad surely, those are the same people when
life is over for them, They will say thank God it's over.
