Goal setting is a powerful process for thinking about your ideal future, and for motivating yourself to turn your ideas [for the future] into reality. The process of setting goals helps you choose where you want to go in life. By knowing precisely what you want to achieve, you know where you should concentrate your efforts.  You'll also quickly spot the distractions that would otherwise lure you away from your intended direction/goal. Properly focused goals can be incredibly motivating, and as you get into the habit of setting and achieving them, you'll find that your self confidence improves and your vision grows. Goal setting techniques are used widely in business, sport, academic achievement and also in everyday life. They give you long term vision and short term motivation. They focus your quest of knowledge and help you to organise your time and your resources so that you can make the very most of your life.   By setting sharp, clearly defined goals, you can measure and take pride in the achievement of those goals. You can see forward progress in what might previously have seemed a long pointless grind. By setting goals, you will also raise your self confidence, as you recognise your ability and competence in achieving the goals that you have set.   From the Book ‘On the Shoulders of Giants' by Rhondalynn Korolak "You control your future, your destiny. What you think about comes about. By recording your dreams and goals on paper, you set in motion the process of becoming the person you most want to be.  Put your future in good hands – your own." ~ Mark Victor Hansen ~   You have to know what it is you are seeking to achieve in life otherwise it's too easy to drift aimlessly. Years pass like days and next thing you know 20 years have passed and you've still not finished that novel that you started to write, not gone back to school to get that degree, not sorted your financial affairs, never bothered to get around to learning a second language etc. There is one thing that we need to touch on in the context of goal setting – it is the distinction between goals and dreams. And it is this distinction that makes all the difference. Too often, traditional goal setting can seem like a very clinical exercise. Pick up any self-help or business book and it will tell you how to set SMART goals – specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time bound. While I agree with the necessity of these basic factors, I also think it is absolutely crucial to incorporate the element of "dreams" and the "imagination". By their very nature, dreams are illogical, irrational, non-sequential, without specific steps and difficult to measure. However, too many of us get limited in our goal setting by the constraints of our own imagination. We would all like to make an extra $100,000 a year but we have no powerful, compelling reason ‘WHY'. What exactly would you do with another $100,000? That is the critical question to ask yourself …   Connect with ‘what' or ‘why' and the ‘how' will make itself known to you in the most miraculous ways.   Even so, $100,000 is not a huge stretch in today's terms. But most never dare to aspire to double or triple their income. Why is that? The missing element is the realm of dreams and imagination. By its very nature, a dream is something that is potentially unrealistic. However, dreams are incredibly powerful and compelling because they are about who you are becoming, not who you are now. Dreams and imagination lie within the domain of the subconscious mind. By incorporating this additional element into the goal setting process, we connect to the infinite resourcefulness of the subconscious and ignite a passion that will inspire and drive us towards our goals. Financial Foreplay® Highlights: Define your Goals: 1.When setting goals it is very important to remember that your goals must be consistent with your values. 2. A goal can not contradict any of your other goals. For example, you can't buy a $750,000 house if your income goal is only $50,000 per year. This is called non-integrated thinking and will sabotage all of the hard work you put into your goals. Non-integrated thinking can also hamper your everyday thoughts as well. It pays dividends to continually strive to eliminate contradictory ideas from your thinking. 3. Develop goals in the 6 areas of life:                      Family and Home                    Financial and Career                    Spiritual and Ethical                    Physical and Health                    Social and Cultural                    Mental and Educational   Setting goals in each area of life will ensure a more balanced life as you begin to examine and change the fundamentals of everyday living. Setting goals in each area of live also helps in eliminating the non-integrated thinking we talked about in the 2nd step. 4. Write your goal in the positive instead of the negative. Work for what you want, not for what you want to leave behind. Part of the reason why we write down and examine our goals is to create a set of instructions for our subconscious mind to carry out. Your subconscious mind is a very efficient tool, it cannot determine right from wrong and it does not judge. It's only function is to carry out its instructions. The more positive instructions you give it, the more positive results you will get.  Thinking positively in everyday life will also help in your growth as a human being. Don't limit it to goal setting.   5. Write your goal out in great detail. You must give the subconscious mind a detailed set of instructions to work on. The more information you give it, the more clear the final outcome becomes. The more precise the outcome, the more efficient the subconscious mind can become.   6. By all means, make sure your goal is high enough.   7. This is the most important, writing down your goals creates the roadmap to your success. Although just the act of writing them down can set the process in motion, it is also extremely important to review your goals frequently. Remember, the more focused you are on your goals the more likely you are to accomplish them. Sometimes we realise we have to revise a goal as circumstances and other goals change. If you need to change a goal do not consider it a failure, consider it a victory as you had the insight to realise something needed adjustment.  MY RESULT Goal Setting Formula   Whilst you need the capacity to dream you also need to be able to move that vision from the ethereal to the material and that is where MY RESULT goal setting methodology comes in:   M          Measurable result. How will you know when you get there? What does the end step look like? Y            Why? For what purpose/intention do you want it? Do not be afraid to dream BIG here!   R            Realistic and achievable. Don't be afraid to set a longer-term goal that is a stretch or a challenge. E            Ecological – is it good for you, others and the planet? S            Specific, clear and concise goals – ensure you subconscious mind knows what it is working towards. U           You have it now. The goal must be written in the present, as if you have it now and signed by you. L             Looking toward your goal - not moving away from what you do not want. Action-oriented. T            Time bound - must have a specific achievement date.

I’m sharing how to succeed in what you want by setting SMART goals. Today we’re going to discuss New Year’s resolutions. It’s customary to pick things we’d like to accomplish by the end of the year, but oftentimes a few weeks into the year we fail miserably at it. We fail because we don’t set ourselves up for success in achieving those goals. To reach these goals, they need to be SMART goals.  SMART goals have five key elements: S- Specific. For example, you want to be faster, better, or increase something definitive. You don’t want vague objectives. Saying, “I want to lose weight” isn’t well-defined enough.  M- Measurable. How do you know if you’re succeeding? What measure are you using to determine success? You need to know whether you’re making progress.  A- Attainable. If you set a goal you can’t accomplish, what’s the point? You can break up a larger objective into smaller pieces that are easier to achieve. R- Realistic. This has to be something you can accomplish in your life, a feasible change. You need to be able to attain growth in your goal.  T- Timed. For example, “I’m going to lose 30 pounds by the end of April.” An easier way to do this is to ground yourself in why you want to reach this objective: “I’m going to lose 30 pounds by the end of April so I can enjoy better health.”  If you would like to talk more about SMART goals or other real estate topics, I would love to hear from you. Call or email me and we can go over any questions you may have.

It's not just a New Year but a New Decade! In today's episode I discuss with Author and Keynote Speaker Julie Gaver on how to create Resolutions that you can keep not only for this year but for a lifetime. She gives us actionable steps on how to create a life you love.

WHY IS GETTING HEALTHY SO HARD? How is it that we can be so good at setting and achieving our goals in every area of our life, but yet, continue to struggle over and over again when it comes to our health related goals? If you’re like most people, you’re successful at every area of your life except lingering health related issues. Maybe it’s an unhealthy weight, diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol, fatigue, mismanaged stress, or a lack of sleep. It’s something that lingers every year. How can this be? How is it that a successful person like yourself, who has a thriving business, family, and interpersonal life struggle with something as trivial as weight or sleep? THE ANSWER LIES IN GOAL SETTING. The truth is, that you already know everything there is to know about goal setting — that’s how you’ve become so successful in the first place. By applying these same principles to your health, you can have the healthiest year ever in 2018. Have you ever thought about what determines whether something happens or doesn’t happen in your life? The truth is, we never make time in our lives for things that are “shoulds”… WE ONLY HAVE TIME IN OUR LIFE FOR THINGS THAT ARE “MUSTS”. For example, you may think “I should be a better parent…a better father…. a better husband”. Shoulds never make it in our day to day activities. Only musts do. The things that you do every day are the things that you’ve made a must. My guess is there are things in your life right now that you want to change, but you’ve allowed yourself to tolerate them for way too long. You have the power to both create things that add to your life, and to take out the things that take away from your best life. ONLY SMART GOALS DONE. Each letter in the acronym SMART has a specific and powerful purpose. S: Specific. Clarity is power. Our brains are designed to crave simplicity and clarity. Complexity is the enemy of execution. The most important variable in goal setting is having a specific desired outcome already identified. M: Measurable. You can manage what you don’t measure. It’s very important to have specific milestone and measurements that you are tracking to measure your success. A: Achievable. If your goal is achievable, you will gain momentum. Momentum is one of the most important variables in goal achieving and breakthrough. R: Realistic. Achievable goals are important, but you also want them to be realistic so that you can capture quick wins. T: Timed. A goal without a timeframe is just an idea, a thought, or a wish. If goals don’t have timelines, they just don’t get done. We all need accountability, and setting a specific time limit to your goals can determine whether you achieve them or not. AND IT STARTS WITH POWERFUL DECISION MAKING. In order to move the needle in a massive way this year towards the healthiest version of yourself, you must master the steps to powerful decision making. First, know your target. Your target is your desired outcome. Get as specific as possible with what you want. Clarity is power – get crystal clear on your priorities. Second, know your why. Knowing your why provides you with purpose, and purpose gives you the drive to complete your goal. This is very, very critical. Because if you lose touch with why you want to achieve your goal, you won’t follow through. Then take massive action. Often times it’s not a lack of knowledge that prevents you from reaching a goal, it’s a lack of action. Taking

What do you value? What is the culture of your family? By clearly defining your values and setting goals based on those values, you will be able to align your life and achieve the things you want most.  This episode clearly outlines the way I set goals for myself and my family to reach our dreams.  You can too! Play In A New Window Download             Show Summary I grew up in a goal oriented family.  When I was young, my mom worked part time for Franklin Day Planners.  My parents were also big fans of Stephen Covey.  Franklin merged with Covey, and then it was Franklin Covey that my mom worked for.  I think i got my first Franklin Day Planner when I was about 10.   My parents taught me about how the Franklin Covey day planner worked.  You first determined what your values were, then you set long term goals based around those values.  You broke the long term goals down in to short term goals, and the short term goals got broken down into daily tasks.  Each built upon each other to help you reach those long term goals that coincided with what you personally value. My dad is also famous (well famous in our little world) for a talk he gives on The Wheel of Balance.  He talks about a wheel made up of 6 different areas Mental Social Physical Spiritual Family Work He talks about how each of these areas need balance in our lives.  If one of them is missing or one is inflated more that the rest, the wheel won’t turn smoothly.  We get stuck.  So as a youth, I set my values and long term goals based around these 6 areas.  And I still do today. Because of these goals, I was able to achieve just about anything I set my mind to as a teenager. For example - I value my testimony of Jesus Christ and His Gospel.  Some of my long-term goals I set when I was a youth was to Be worthy to enter the temple (for either marriage or before a mission) To be married in the temple Read cover to cover and gain a testimony of all 4 sets of scripture (Old Testament, New Testament, Book of Mormon, and Doctrine & Covenants) Get my Young Women Medallion Graduate from Seminary Then I would break those down into short term goals. So I would make a goal to read The Book of Mormon by a certain date Then my daily task was to read so many chapters each day. Those things fulfilled my “Spiritual” spoke on the wheel.  Other goals that I had that went along with my values were Maintain a certain GPA Go to Brigham Young University Participate in Swim Team Sing in the Choir Save X amount for college etc. Now that I am adult, my goals are a little bit different than they were when I was teenager, but my values are still pretty much the same. I wanted to pass on this same goal oriented life to my children, so In January we did a great family home evening where we set our Family Values and then set some goals in each area that we wanted to work on.   First we brainstormed a lot of different ideas, and then we voted and narrowed it down to 7 things. We are service oriented We are respectful We are optimistic We are learners We are self-reliant We are adventurous We are Christ-centered Under each of these 7 categories we listed a few things that we want to work on as a family. Some of these things I think we already do well, (like grow a garden, and going to church each week) and some things are things we agreed we need to work on (like being willing to try new foods and take shorter showers).   I made a 24x36 poster on my computer and had it printed at my local UPS store for about $4 and we hang it on the door between our kitchen and garage so that it is a constant reminder. (see below) This is a great exercise to do with your kids and figure what your family values and what goals you have and to figure out the culture of your family.   A few weeks ago on the 3in30 podcast, Host Rachel Nielsen interviewed  Chamaine Wollenzien of Wandering Families for Episode 40.  Chamaine said that the culture of her family is “We are a hiking family.”  Rachel posed the question “What is your family culture” out to her audience on social media  with a great response.  People responded “We are a reading family”  “We are a snuggling family”  “We are movie watching family” When I have thought about that question, I have really struggled with it.  Because we are a blended family, I feel like I have one culture when its just me and my kids and I have a different culture when I’m with my husband and his kids.  And when we are all together…I wasn’t really sure. But then I was able to look back at this exercise we did as a family and I can say that the thing that really brings us together is that “We are a Christ-Centered Family” and that really brought me a lot of peace. So now that it’s Back To School time again, now is a GREAT time to sit down by yourself or with your family and set some Values, Long Term Goals, Short Terms Goals, and maybe even break it down into daily tasks.  And Remember, Goals need to be S.M.A.R.T. SMART is a great acronym for setting goals S - Specific M - Measurable A - Attainable R - Realistic T - Time Bound S - Specific, set goals that are specific.  What is the outcome that you want?  Does it reflect your values? What do you hope to achieve by setting this goal? M - Measurable - how can you break it down.  Can you evaluate the progress you are making? A - Attainable, now this goes back to Podcast 15 and Redefining Success.  You need to make goals that you actually have control over.   R - Realistic - if you make a goal to be able fly of your own accord, it’s probably not very realistic, so make sure they are goals that you can realistically achieve T - Time Bound - set a time limit.  Set an end.   Now, I think it is a GREAT idea to not only set some goals that are attainable, but some some goals that REALLY stretch you.   That push your limits.  Maybe that’s a goal to increase your families income by a LOT, or to lose a lot of weight.  Something that is going to be tough. But also remember that you don’t need to be perfect at this.  And even if your time is up on your goal and you didn’t get all the way there, look back at the PROGRESS you’ve made and how much you were able to achieve by setting the goal, even if you didn’t make it all the way. As human beings we were not meant to stay stagnant.  We are meant to constantly be growing and learning.  When we get stagnant in our lives, we feel uncomfortable.  And while growth, from setting goals, can also be uncomfortable, that uncomfortability is worth it. Sometimes, we are afraid to set goals and to stretch ourselves out of fear of failure.  But don’t we automatically fail by not trying? We will discuss failure more in depth on another episode, but for now I just want you to understand that it’s ok to fail if you are trying.  You can just take that as evidence that what you tried didn’t work and you need to approach it another way.  You don’t need to make it mean anything more than that.  Make it mean something positive.  Don’t make it mean something negative about you.  But not trying it all is automatically failing and not quite achieving everything you wanted means you at least got part of the way there, and you learned and grew in the process and you just have more work to do. Rachel Hollis has a great practice in that she writes down 10 big goals in a notebook like she has already achieved them.  She writes them down (the same 10 big goals) every single day until she achieves them.  And she says that by writing them down every single day like they are already done, and putting those great vibes out into the universe, they ALWAYS come true.  By focusing on them every single day she is constantly working on them in subtle ways and her goals are always achieved. Right now my friend Monica Packer from the podcast About Progress is running a 30-day wake up challenge.  Her goal is to wake up by 6:30 every day so that she can be more productive in the day.  She’s broken down that down to what she needs to do at night in order to wake up earlier in the morning, and then what she needs to do in the morning, to make things a little bit easier.  She realizes that she may not be perfect at this, but like her podcast says, its not about perfection, it’s about progress! So I’d like to challenge you this week to set a goal you want to work on and post it to social media.  Tag me in the post and use the #livefromlovegoals Then take the time to write those big goals down EVERY SINGLE DAY and let’s see if they come true! Show Notes: Wake Up Challenge: AboutProgress.com Family Culture: 3in30podcast.com Our family values & goals My family sat down in January and decided what our family values are and things that we are already doing and can work on as a family.  I created this poster and it hangs on the door between our kitchen and garage as a constant reminder.

Setting Goals is the Key to Success 2nd of 5 At the root of all success is a vision and intention. We must learn to set achievable goals. I lead teams. I lead meetings. I teach leaders to lead. I can see the end result, because I have defined it clearly. I set a goal to be in shape. I have expressed the goal in terms of running a certain distance in a certain amount of time. I can't accomplish that goal without the following: The belief that I will succeed... A description of what it looks like when I have succeeded... A long-term vision... Short-term goals... A weekly schedule... A daily plan of action... That works for my work, as well as for my running. What about your work? What about your life? Goals are SMART! S = Specific M = Measurable A = Accountable R = Realistic T = Timed Note to the frantic and weary: The "A" for accountable provides the traction that makes goals work.

      Albert Einstein was smart. But you are too. Most of us are smart, but we don't have the fortitude to stay with our problems until we solve them. The same is true for our goals in most cases. Most of use have heard of SMART Goals and follow this methodology as the script when we create and write our goals. Do you set SMART Goals only to feel dumb when you don't achieve them?  Don't feel dumb, it's not that you aren't SMART, it's that SMART Goals don't go far enough. What are SMART Goals?  The methodology of SMART Goals was developed for setting business or management goals. SMART Goals are Specific Measurable Achievable (or Assignable) Realistic (or Relevant) Time-bound There are several interpretations for each of the letters, but the two most ambiguous are A and R. If A = Achievable  and R = Realistic, isn't that saying the same thing? If my goal is achievable, it must be realistic, right? If it isn't realistic, it most likely wouldn't be achievable. If we are thinking in a business or management mindset, a goal should be assignable. In other words, someone must be able to be assigned to complete it. There must, therefore, be certain tasks that someone must complete for the goal to be achieved. I think it would be smarter to make the A = Actionable, thereby making someone Accountable for completing the action. So maybe Accountable should be the A. Well, Realistic shouldn't be used for R if Achievable is the A. But if A is Actionable, Assignable or even Accountable, then R should be Realistic. Why? Your goals should be Achievable, wait, I mean Realistic. Well since they both are the same thing they should be either or both; Realistically Achievable. So, are you feeling dumb already. Don't!

  Click Below to Listen to Today's Show   Albert Einstein was smart. But you are too. Most of us are smart, but we don't have the fortitude to stay with our problems until we solve them. The same is true for our goals in most cases. Most of use have heard of SMART Goals and follow this methodology as the script when we create and write our goals. Do you set SMART Goals only to feel dumb when you don't achieve them?  Don't feel dumb, it's not that you aren't SMART, it's that SMART Goals don't go far enough. What are SMART Goals?  The methodology of SMART Goals was developed for setting business or management goals. SMART Goals are Specific Measurable Achievable (or Assignable) Realistic (or Relevant) Time-bound There are several interpretations for each of the letters, but the two most ambiguous are A and R. If A = Achievable  and R = Realistic, isn't that saying the same thing? If my goal is achievable, it must be realistic, right? If it isn't realistic, it most likely wouldn't be achievable. If we are thinking in a business or management mindset, a goal should be assignable. In other words, someone must be able to be assigned to complete it. There must, therefore, be certain tasks that someone must complete for the goal to be achieved. I think it would be smarter to make the A = Actionable, thereby making someone Accountable for completing the action. So maybe Accountable should be the A. Well, Realistic shouldn't be used for R if Achievable is the A. But if A is Actionable, Assignable or even Accountable, then R should be Realistic. Why? Your goals should be Achievable, wait, I mean Realistic. Well since they both are the same thing they should be either or both; Realistically Achievable. So, are you feeling dumb already. Don't! Even if you understand what SMART should stand for, it still isn't enough and you probably still feel dumb. You set SMART Goals. You followed SMART to the T. Your goals were set correctly by the SMART standards. But, you still aren't achieving your goals. You can't seem to get the goals your set. Why not? If my goals are SMART, then I must be dumb.

SMART Goals is a concept developed and popularized in 1987 to help people understand business goal concepts.  This concept defines the letters of SMART as: S = Specific - Setting goals that are very specific in their definition is key. M = Measurable - Goals should be measurable, in such a definative way so you can know when they are complete. A = Achievable/Attainable - Goals have to be believably achievable. There must be a way to define that done is done.  Did I achieve this goal. R = Realistic; this does not mean easy, but more to the point, not delusional You have to have the ability and the will to achieve the goal. T = Time-Bound, The goal should have a deadline. Goals Without a Deadline are just Dreams.  You must have a time commitment to complete the goal.  The Goal Getting Program uses SMART as the basis for the 9 Steps to Successful Goal Achievement, however, it is not a complete program.  It provides the goundwork for Effective Goal Setting.
