Personal Goal Setting?
|
| The best way
to learn anything is... PRACTICE! And it's no different with setting goals. So... |
Want to know how to set goals?
Simple.
You just get started!
Yes, it helps if you know about setting smart goals.
Yes, it helps if you separate your life goals from your career goals objectives.
And, yes, it helps when you're setting personal goals if you know why you want to set your goals.
But setting goals all begins with writing goals - on a piece of paper, inside some goal-setting software or even on a web page like this! - AND THEN TAKING ACTION!
And making mistakes is okay, just as long as you get started! Your goal-setting will get better as you a) set goals b) achieve your goals and c) reflect on your personal goal-setting experience
So that's what this page is all about.
So please don't read any further UNLESS... unless you're prepared to:
Still interested? Great!
One extra incentive? Okay, everybody that submits their goals can download my free ebook called Goal Quotes :-)
Yes, achieving your goals starts here! Let's go!...
Okay, there's not much to learn here - by reading, anyway!
This here is an action page, y'see - a page where you think about and then set a personal goal or two!
Don't worry I'm going to lead by example and reveal my own personal goal setting ambitions for the month of August, 2009
But first, and if you need some help with setting personal goals, a little bit of blurb...
Ahem!
Okay, whether you follow David Dutch's goal-setting technique of Tower of Life (as shown on this personal goal setting page (opens in a new window)), whether you need to read some goal setting tips first (opens in a new window), or whether you're simply inspired by listening the music in the 'Personal Goal Setting YouTube video' below - it would be great if you could make your goals SMART goals; i.e. Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-based (see this smart goals page for more information - again, page opens in a new window).
(And if you still need help, then Brian Tracy's Goal Setting program is just the ticket!)
Please remember: this is not about career goals but it could be about life goals!
Remember, achieving goals starts with writing goals!
Remember, I said I would go first. :-O So here goes...
| SMART Goals | Personal Goal #1 | Personal Goal #2 |
| S - Specific | "Get visitors to this personal goal setting page to contribute 10 personal goal setting examples by the end of September, 2009!" | "Create at least 5 SMART goals (both personal & career goals) to take me up to the end of 2009, and post those goals onto this website by Sun. 9th August" |
| M - Measurable | Yes, no-one has written any goals as of today, 5th August 2009. And all the smart goals examples will be listed below for all to see and count! | Yes. 5 SMART goals written on the smart goals page. (Actually, I wrote them here - 1 day late!) |
| A - Achievable | Yes. (I hope!) So far, when I have asked people to make contributions to this site - see Your Story for examples - they have done so one at a time. But as I'm making this my goal... ;-) | I think so. It might sound a bit easy, actually, but these are going to my REAL goals for the rest of the year, so I don't want to rush them! But it's Wednesday now, too... |
| R - Relevant | Absolutely! Leading by example is my favoured form of leadership AND I think it helps all of us get into the habit of setting personal goals. So, tick to relevance! | Absolutely. I have to write my smart goals - show how to set goals - otherwise everyone here will think I'm a fraud! Lol. And my life will benefit from having these goals written down, too... |
| T - Timebased | Yes, it's Aug 5th now and my goal will be achieve if I have 10 contributions (other than mine) listed below by the date of Sept 30th, 2009. | Yes, today is Wednesday and I have to finish by Sunday. |
| And, why? | Well, look at the Relevance box, but if I can get 10 people to commit to achieving goals in their personal life by the end of September 2009 I will feel a great deal of satisfaction! I might even smile! :-D | More leading my example, I guess. And more needing to have some goals in my life that I feel accountable to. Heck, why not! |
See? That wasn't too painful (for me) was it! And I more or less wrote down my personal goals whilst listening to the video below - which lasts for about 10 minutes.
So now it's your turn!
Now you have to write down your smart goal example for all the world to see, and for you to commit to. (Why not bookmark the resulting page and revisit often, eh!)
You don't need me to do this, but I will give you a few goal setting freebies IF you tell us about your personal goals. Just make sure you provide your email address below. Thanks!
So
