Success doesn't come from what you do occasionally, but from what you do consistently. In this episode, I discuss effective strategies for setting and achieving healthy weight loss goals. I break down the SMART goal framework, explaining how to create goals that are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. I emphasize the importance of avoiding vague resolutions and instead setting clear, realistic objectives like losing a specific number of pounds within a defined period. I also cover ways to track progress without becoming obsessed, such as using apps like MyFitnessPal, taking body measurements, and monitoring non-scale victories.

Setting a goal is one thing but as it's been said, you get paid for done!  Listen to this episode, apply what you learn, and teach it to others. By the way, be sure to connect with me on Instagram!

Goals are essential in business, and you've likely been taught to set “SMART” goals. But are you actually achieving the goals you've set? In this episode, I'm sharing my simple method for setting, and achieving your goals.

Over the past four years as a widower, I have often been asked how I have managed to navigate my grief so well. I honestly don't believe I navigate grief better than most at all. From my perspective, it remains a ball of chaos, both externally and internally, and I feel it will always be that way to some extent. There are three things I believe I do well. First, I focus on living as my wife, Colleen, encouraged me. Second, I try to identify the details of my life for which I should and can be grateful. Third, I set SMART goals for my grief. Specifically, an organized method to set and achieve a goal through a realistic, step-by-step thought process. Let's discuss how setting SMART goals in grief can be a catalyst for walking more successfully with grief while attempting to find a way forward.

Are goals important and do you really need to set them? When you're building something like a blog, a brand, or a business, setting goals will actually help you find success faster. In today's episode, we're exploring how to set goals using the SMART goals system!

In this episode of the Bold Goal Crusher podcast, Sara Mayer encourages listeners to stop setting results and start setting achievable goals. Using her experiences in equestrian sport as an example, Sara highlights that rather than setting results (which are often influenced by factors out of our control), we should focus on goals related to our abilities and what we can control. She demonstrates that goals should be tied to dreamy aspirations, and with dedication, they can be achieved. This podcast encourages the listeners to stop chasing after results and instead, start working towards actionable goals with a clear path of execution. 00:11 Introduction to the Podcast 00:48 Understanding the Difference Between Goals and Results 01:09 The Pitfalls of Setting SMART Goals 01:21 How to Properly Set Goals 02:15 The Problem with Setting Results as Goals 03:04 Real-Life Example: Becoming a World Champion Equestrian 06:17 The Importance of Focusing on Activities and Lofty Goals 06:35 Conclusion and Invitation to Share Your Goals

Are you holding yourself back from your goals due to self-doubt? Learn how to overcome self-doubt by taking things one step at a time. In this podcast episode, Adam Hill discusses how to rise above limiting beliefs of self-doubt through incremental growth and goal setting. Listen in as Adam shares his story of how breaking through barriers can start with simple baby steps. He also explains how focusing on small wins and SMART goals can help you make steady progress towards your dreams. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: The paradox of self-doubt for high achievers  Reframing doubt as a signal rather than a barrier The story of Jesus walking on water and Peter's doubt Setting SMART goals for incremental improvement Celebrating small wins to build confidence Episode Highlights: [03:29] The Paradox of Self-Doubt for High Achievers Self-doubt is a natural response for those pursuing big goals. When we take on large challenges, self-doubt kicks in as a defense mechanism to make us question ourselves. The very nature of wanting to accomplish significant feats that are "far out there" will inherently cause doubt, since we have no track record of past success at that level. However, this doubt should not prevent action. While it's normal and expected to have uncertainty about lofty goals due to our human limitations, addressing doubt through strategies like incremental progress can help override it as a limiting factor and allow one to continue pursuing their dreams. [15:33] Conquering Doubt Through Baby Steps Adam shares how breaking down his big goal of an Ironman triathlon into small, incremental steps helped him overcome self-doubt and achieve what once seemed impossible. When he first set his sights on an Ironman, the 2.4 mile open water swim was his biggest fear due to being an inexperienced swimmer. Rather than let doubt paralyze him, Adam got strategic by breaking down the massive swim into mini-milestones like learning to float and then swim 25 yards continuously. By chipping away at his fears step-by-step, Adam was able to steadily build confidence through a sense of progress and small wins. Facing each manageable goal in turn helped Adam overcome doubt with determination and perseverance, ultimately gaining proof that he was capable of more than he imagined. [24:25] Setting SMART Goals for Incremental Improvement SMART stands for goals that are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound. Adam recommends breaking big goals down into smaller, SMART goals that can be accomplished within a 90-day period. For example, rather than a vague goal of "improve my swimming," one might set a goal of "Swim 100 yards without stopping in 30 days." Adam notes that setting clearly defined, short-term goals helps create a roadmap towards long-term success. It allows you to celebrate small wins that build confidence as you progress step-by-step towards your larger vision. Having time-bound goals also keeps you accountable and motivated to keep chipping away at limitations.

In this episode we discuss that when setting goals it is important to be realistic while still pushing the envelope. Setting goals you do not believe in is akin to admitting defeat from the start, so it is crucial to choose achievable goals. Goals with measurable criteria make it easier to determine whether you've achieved them and, if not, by how much you've fallen short. Merely stating that you want to be the 'best' or that you aim to 'do a lot' fails to provide concrete success metrics. SMART goals are defined as Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. Setting goals that do not align with this framework often leads to failure.

However, the traditional approach to goal setting often overlooks the importance of aligning objectives with personal values and the need for adaptability. In this article, we explore a transformative approach to goal setting, breaking it down into four key segments.1. The Art of Meaningful Goal SettingTo set truly meaningful goals, it's essential to align them with your core personal values. Start by identifying moments in your life when you felt the most fulfilled. What were you doing? Who were you with? Common threads in these experiences often point to your core values. For instance, if you consistently find fulfillment in helping others, this value should be at the forefront of your goals.Next, ensure that your goals align with these values. If one of your core values is community service, a goal might be to volunteer regularly or pursue a career in a field that allows you to give back to the community. A powerful example of this is the story of a high-flying lawyer who shifted to a lower-paying job at a non-profit organization, finding deeper satisfaction and alignment with her core value of ‘community service.'2. The Hidden Power of Micro-GoalsAchieving large goals can be daunting. Breaking them down into smaller, more manageable micro-goals can make the process less overwhelming and more achievable. For instance, if your goal is to run a marathon, start by training for shorter distances like a 5k and gradually work your way up.This method not only makes the goal seem more attainable but also leverages the psychological benefits of achieving small wins. Each micro-goal achieved releases dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with feelings of pleasure and motivation, fueling your drive to pursue the next step. A case study that exemplifies this is Support the Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1590358/support Closing of ReThinkBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

Most people float through life without direction. You must get clarity of focus before you can even begin setting goals. Robert Helms of The Real Estate Guys, a professional real estate investor, reveals a framework for goal-setting.  Goals should be SMART—Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-Based. I provide examples of two athletic goals that I failed to achieve this year. It's vital to surround yourself with the right people. Goals should be written down. It helps to set intermediate benchmarks within the goal. It's difficult to stretch more than 50% from year-to-year. Keep the goal achievable. Is your life destined or is your life made?

This is get rich education.   Keith Weinhold (00:01:52) - Welcome to GRE! From Toms River, New Jersey, to Hood River, Oregon, and across 188 nations worldwide. I'm Keith Weinhold and you are tuned in to get rich education. Now, why do you live the almost same routine that you live day in and day out? How are you spending your highest order in finite resource of your time? Maybe you're intentional, and maybe you don't really enjoy shoveling your snow or mowing your lawn all that much, but you do it just because it's the way that you've always done things, but at the cost of what higher order activities could you instead fill with that time? And that's exactly what a lot of people have never explored. I know that today's guest and I both admire the Robert Heinlein quote.   Keith Weinhold (00:02:40) - In the absence of clearly defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily trivia until ultimately we become enslaved by it. One other axiom that I find so frustratingly inconvenient, because it's simultaneously true, is that your growth happens outside of your comfort zone. So then you've got to get comfortable being uncomfortable. And once you do enough of that, you'll become so enamored of growth that you'll soon find yourself being uncomfortable when you get comfortable. The best version of you. It means constantly disrupting yourself. Well that's disruptive. Now, within real estate, I've had various goals, and you might too. If you work at a dissatisfying day job, you might have a passive cash flow goal through real estate so that you can replace your job income. That's a pretty common one. Now, when I made my first ever property, that first fourplex, I didn't have much of a financial goal then. I just knew that I was effectively living for free, supplemented by the other three rent incomes. And when I first bought that building, I didn't even know what cashflow meant.   Keith Weinhold (00:03:57) - But once I did snowballing my cash flows became a goal until I could use that to replace my day job. Once that was achieved, the goal became how many doors can I control? Because that's a measure of service and influence. And today, one strong real estate goal is reaching more people like you with this very show right here today, we're talking to an expert at setting goals and helping you live the life that you were meant to live. He has had a deep influence on me and my growth. In fact, if it weren't for him, Jerry might not even exist and you would not have even heard of me. That's how much. Let's talk about setting and achieving goals to get the outcome that you want for your life. Today's guest is a professional real estate investor with experience in nine states and six nations, and I have toured some of that property with him in person internationally. He is also taught real estate practices and appraisal at the college level, but you might know him as the host of the nationally syndicated radio show The Real Estate Guys, now in its 27th year of broadcast.   Keith Weinhold (00:05:10) - You know that I've recommended that show to you, the listener, today. It's great to give a warm welcome back to Robert Helms.   Robert Helms (00:05:19) - Hey, Keith. So good to see you.   Keith Weinhold (00:05:21) - Robert. It's good to see you too. But we're not here today to talk so much about real estate, because a lot of people use real estate to fuel their other goals in life outside the real estate world, you brought a keen awareness to the fact that most people just kind of go floating through life without any real direction. And I think we're all aware, Robert, that there is a gap between who we are and the most that we can be. So can you talk to us about how finding our trajectory can perhaps be an exercise in connecting these dots that we call goals?   Robert Helms (00:05:58) - Yeah, I love this topic, as you know, because if we're left to our own devices, human nature is we're just going to bounce from thing to thing, like a boat without a rudder. And we get excited about something and it's a shiny object and we go off and pursue that.   Robert Helms (00:06:11) - And maybe real estate is that thing for you. And then, you know, you've got all the rest of your life to contend with. And whether you're a full time real estate investor or a part time real estate investor, I've found that one of the great keys to be able to discipline yourself, to do the things necessary to get the results you want in your life, is to set goals. And goal setting is pretty simple, but at the same time, it's almost alarmingly simple because if it seems too easy, people don't do it right. And the crux of goal setting is to figure out what you want, and then put that down in a way that you can be driven towards the things you have to do to make those things happen.   Keith Weinhold (00:06:52) - Maybe before we talk more about ourselves and what each of us really wants, maybe we can talk about what we don't want. And so many of us, me included, are influenced in life by the people that we surround ourselves with. You and I are both familiar with the quote from the late business philosopher Jim Rohn.   Keith Weinhold (00:07:11) - You are the average of the five people that you spend the most time with. A lot of people probably wouldn't like to admit it, but the statistics are kind of alarming with how much time one spends around their co-workers versus how much time spends around their family and friends, and with influences from co-workers. And that temptation to maybe just go with the flow. You know, it's pretty interesting because your coworkers are not chosen by you. They're chosen by your employer. Now, maybe that's good because it opens you up to a new set of ideas and a new context for your life, and that might adjust the goals you set. But then on the other side, if you don't have that and you don't have those coworkers, maybe those coworkers can help keep you out of one think silo and just thinking all the same way. So you talk to us about the influences of other people in one's lives. As you think about the life that you want to create for yourself.   Robert Helms (00:08:01) - This is such an important topic. I'm glad you bring it up at the beginning here because it is subtle, right? We don't get shoved off course.   Robert Helms (00:08:10) - We get nudged off course little by little by little. One of those five people you spend the most time with says, hey, let's go out drinking Friday night. And you were thinking, well, I was going to work on a podcast or a chapter on my book, or I was going to, okay, I'll just go out drinking and before you know it, like, that's not a bad decision. You get to spend time hanging out and there's some time in your life you want to be able to hang out with friends. But I think it's important that you become very strategic about your time. Time is a zero sum game, and it's also the most interesting resource because once this minute is gone, it's never coming back. What we do with this minute, we get a chance to do once, whether that's an hour, a day, a week. But at the same time, what happens after this minute? Well, another one and another month and another week. And so time can get away from you.   Robert Helms (00:08:58) - And if you're strategic about it, this is the key to success. Just spending time with people that have you going places, having you looking at your future, excited about what's happening now, you know, you mentioned your coworkers and you don't get to pick them. And that's true. But that's true about your family too. So you don't want to just write off your family. But let's face it, we probably all have negative people in our lives, whether it's friends, lifelong friends, people from college, but sometimes people in our family. So it's not that you don't spend any time with those people. It's your strategic about how and where you spend time with those folks. And the influences in our life probably have more impact on how well we do in life than any other factor.   Keith Weinhold (00:09:44) - We talk about being strategic and intentional with goal setting. There isn't a have you here today is because you're an expert in helping people set goals and help define a mission for their life, so I'm sure a lot of people, Robert, have come to you with a pretty well known framework for setting goals, called the Smart Goal Framework.   Keith Weinhold (00:10:03) - That's an acronym that stands for the fact that goals should be specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time based. So now I do think about the Smart goal framework before I set a goal, but I'm sure not to muddy up goals with a mission and all personalizes for a moment to give a good example for the audience. Robert, you can let me know what you think about this. And this is something outside of real estate investing. But when it comes to physical training, I have this mission of longevity and lean musculature. But to me, that's only a mission because it's kind of fuzzy and hazy. And then I have goals within that. For example, I had a couple goals within that. This year. I failed at them both. By the way. One was to be under £180 by June 1st, and the other was to run uphill up this trail in under 40 minutes by the end of the season. To me, those two things were goals, the body weight in the running, both of which I failed at within this broader mission of longevity and lean musculature.   Keith Weinhold (00:11:02) - So what are your thoughts about the Smart Goal Framework? Does that help people set goals and get them where they want to be?   Robert Helms (00:11:08) - Yeah, 100%, because just wanting something like, I want to be healthier or I want to be richer, those are great sentiments, but those aren't goals. What makes it a goal is the things you mentioned in the Smart framework works great. There's kind of the 101, which is if you've never set goals before, there's three things to focus on. The first is that a goal has to be specific and measurable. If you can't measure it, you don't know whether or not you hit it. So when you talk about something like your health and being lean, well, there's a couple of metrics in there. Percentage of body fat is a number and it's measurable how much weight you want to gain or lose is a number. And it's measurable. So that will help you instead of just I want to be lean. It's how lean do I want to be. And of course you might seek some counsel in that regard, either from a trainer or a doctor or someone to say, what's a good, healthy weight for me and so on.   Robert Helms (00:12:00) - So that's the specific part, which is also measurable. I kind of put that in as one thing, and the second is having a time deadline, a time limit or a deadline. So the best way to think of those two things is how much buy win, and your example of being able to do a specific amount of time metric by a certain date. That's exactly right, specific and measurable and with a time limit. And then the third thing is that to be effective, goals have to be written down. If you don't write down your goals, they're worth the paper they're written on. And it's not just so you won't forget. It's that something magical happens when we take pen to paper and writing it down. Using your computer, keyboard or voice to text is not the same as getting a good old fashioned pen or pencil and writing out your goals. Now that's the 101 write to take it. Beyond that, there are some few things in the smart model. It's either attainable or achievable for the A, and what that means is it has to be somewhat realistic.   Robert Helms (00:13:03) - You don't want to put limits on yourself, but if you say, well, you know, Robert, I made $50,000 this year and next year I'm going to make 5 million. Okay, well that's possible. People do that. There are people that go from 50,000 to 5 million. It's just not very likely. So unless you have some information that would show why that would happen, a much better way to think about it is how much can I stretch and still make the goal? If you made $50,000 a year for the last three years, Zig Ziglar says you can stretch to about 50% $75,000. That's a stretch, but it's realistic. So that's the attainable part, and it is a great framework. Now the other part, which is awesome when you're talking about how do I affect what I'm going to do. This is the crux of golf setting. There are two types of goals. If we were to narrow it down, there are outcome goals. That's how it's going to be at the end.   Robert Helms (00:13:56) - And then an even more important there are activity goals. So let's say you're in real estate sales and you want to sell 20 houses in 2024. That's a great goal. That's an outcome goal. At the end of 2024, I want to have listed and sold 20 houses. Okay, so January 2nd, when you get back, you know from your celebrating January 1st, what do you do? It's nebulous to say, well, gosh, to get to 20 houses by the end of the year. So what you do is you break down those 20 houses, that outcome goal into the specific steps necessary, and it would be different depending on every goal, right? It would be different for health than it was for relationships, than it was for your income. But to use this example, you might say, well, in order to sell 20 houses. Maybe I have to list 30 houses. Okay. To list 30 houses, I have to talk to 60 people. Okay, well, to talk to 60 people, I got to get 200 people on my list and so on and so forth.   Robert Helms (00:14:56) - Until you break it down to the actual activity, you can do January 2nd. So it might look like this. On January 2nd, I have to talk to four new people. I have to send out emails or letters or postcards to ten new people. And if I do that, if I do those two things, following the numbers all the way to the end of the year, that should result in my 20 houses. Now, how do you know what those numbers are? That's from your practice. You've done this before. If you're brand new in the business, you would get counsel from folks that are already doing that. Back to the five people you spend the most time with, right? Surround yourself with folks that have already done what you want to do, and then break down the outcome goal into the activities necessary to achieve the goal.   Keith Weinhold (00:15:40) - Oh, this is great step by step guidance. After I knew I failed at those two goals I shared with you, Artemis tried to reassure myself and tell myself that, well, you know, a lot of people don't even set concrete goals, so I ought to be okay about it because I've definitely ended up more fit.   Keith Weinhold (00:15:54) - But then at the same time, I don't always want to be comparing myself to normalcy or that's just a recipe for mediocrity. But maybe just here, as the introductory beginner goal setter that I am, I would have been more successful had I written them down, and had I made more intermediate steps in order to reach those two goals that I told you about? So I learned a little something there. I'm your host, Keith Weinhold, with Robert Helms of the Real Estate Guys. More on goals when we come back. You're listening to get Rich education. Render this a specific expert with income property, you need Ridge Lending Group and MLS for 256.

Ridge lending group.com. You know, I'll just tell you, for the most passive part of my real estate investing, personally, I put my own dollars with Freedom Family Investments because their funds pay me a stream of regular cash flow in returns are better than a bank savings account up to 12%.   Keith Weinhold (00:17:22) - Their minimums are as low as 25 K. You don't even need to be accredited for some of them. It's all backed by real estate, and I kind of love how the tax benefit of doing this can offset capital gains and your W-2 jobs income. They've always given me exactly their stated return paid on time. So it's steady income, no surprises while I'm sleeping or just doing the things I love. For a little insider tip, I've invested in their power fund to get going on that text family to 66866. Oh, and this isn't a solicitation. If you want to invest where I do, just go ahead and text family to six, 686, six.   Robert Kiyosaki (00:18:09) - This is our rich dad. Poor dad. Author Robert Kiyosaki. Listen to get Rich education with Keith whine old Dot Prichard, Adrienne.   Keith Weinhold (00:18:27) - Welcome back to get Rich education. We're talking with Robert Helms of the Real Estate Guys about goals or not talking so much about real estate today because many people use real estate in order to fuel their other goals in life.   Keith Weinhold (00:18:40) - So many people just go floating through life without many goals. I could do a better job with my goal framework myself, as I think you just learned there, Robert. I think some people, they might be dismissive of goals because some people have the mindset where they're thinking, well, I'm just ordained to live a life like this, or I'm just destined to live a life like this. I don't know that our audience necessarily thinks that way, but I'd like to get your input on this. We recently had an Instagram poll over on our Instagram page, and the poll was simple are you destined or are you made? And 75% of respondents chose that they are made rather than that they are destined. So what are your thoughts with regard to that as we set goals for this trajectory in our life?   Robert Helms (00:19:28) - That is a world class question. We always say, if you want great answers, you have to ask great questions. And that's a great question and something people don't think about. There are folks that believe that they are completely self-made and that it's up to them.   Robert Helms (00:19:40) - If it's to be, it's up to me and I completely respect that. And then there are folks that believe that no something is written on my heart. Something tugs towards me. I have a destiny. I have a life work that I need to pursue, and I respect that as well. So we for years have done an annual goal setting retreat that we call Create Your Future. But people wrestle with this, and I kind of witnessed the same thing. About three quarters of the people resonate with Create Your Future. But the very first evening of the event, I also submit to the attendees that if you feel called, if you feel like I have a destiny, but I'm not clear about it, then I just suggest that they reframe the entire event by the original title we use, which was Discover Your Destiny. So whether you believe that there is a destiny, a calling for you, or you've got to figure it out, this process of thinking about your goals, breaking them down to action steps, making sure they're in alignment with your vision, having that mission that you talked about, right.   Robert Helms (00:20:45) - All those things will serve you kind of either way.   Keith Weinhold (00:20:49) - Yeah, that's a rather deep existential question that I think some people need to figure out, I would imagine, before they develop their goals. So now that we've talked about mission and goals somewhat, Robert, can you tell us about some of your more successful people and some real success cases you've seen with people that have actually achieved goals and gotten this life satisfaction about becoming the most that they can be?   Robert Helms (00:21:14) - I love that the reason I keep doing this part of my life is because of the results people get. It's absolutely astounding. We've watched people go from modest means to incredible success, and not just monetarily, although that certainly happened. One of my favorites is a young gentleman who was dragged along to this, the goal setting event we do every year by his dad. His dad had been through a four years, brought his son and his son was kind of lackadaisical, had a job that paid okay, but he was living in a home. He was £50 overweight, just kind of plodding through life.   Robert Helms (00:21:51) - After three years. This guy was a brand new guy and he has completely changed his life. He's fit as can be. He found the woman of his dreams, which was something he thought might never happen. He's no longer working at a job that he just deals with. He loves his career like everything has changed and he gives credit to that, to finding this clarity. So here's the essence of goal setting. Your two best friends are clarity and focus. You have to get clear on exactly specifically what you want and the steps to get there. Most people are not clear. They're vague, they're nebulous. They kind of know what they want to do, but they aren't sure. And so you need a process to help you uncover and get that clarity. And then once you have that clarity, focus, right? Tracy says. And this is a deep one. All of life is the study of attention. What you think about comes about, said Earl Nightingale. And so the point is, what if we focus on something? Think about in your life, you've had some experience that's been successful.   Robert Helms (00:22:59) - It's probably because you put a lot of focus into that, a lot of attention. Sure. I remember all those years ago when we were talking about, hey, you said, I'm thinking about starting a podcast, and I'm like, awesome, right? And I was encouraging of it. I was thrilled you'd thought you'd already recorded a couple episodes. Yeah. And so many guys or gals come up and say they want to start a podcast, and most never do. But because you had the passion for it and you were committed to it and you did all the hard work, right? Those first several episodes where you got six or 7 or 10 listeners, you can't get to the first million until you get to the first ten. And this is what life is. It's focusing on the things that you want in your life. Instead of spending our focused time on distractions, things that the advertisers in our life want us to do, things that those friends that maybe like us but don't necessarily have our best interests at heart.   Robert Helms (00:23:54) - They want us to come to you. So there's a lot to figuring out who you want to be when you grow up. But if you'll take the time to figure that out and then work towards it, it's extraordinary what can happen now as far as success stories, I'll tell one more story because this is a reality check. It's not all happy high notes four years ago. At the end of the Create Your Future Goals retreat, I had a gentleman come up to me, pretty well-known guy, and so I won't mention who it is. But he said, Robert, you don't know this about me, but you saved my marriage this weekend. He said, I came with my wife. She was really reluctant to come. We were on the verge of divorce and we spent our time to separate parts of the room. But as you recommended, we came together Saturday night for dinner and we just connected like we haven't in years. And I saw this guy a couple weeks ago thrilled with his marriage, with everything that's like, awesome.   Robert Helms (00:24:49) - Now, I have to tell you, the other part of the story, which is that same evening, I talked to another gentleman who came up to me and he said, I'd like to talk to you about something. My wife and I came to this event and we both played full out, and we took all the notes and we really got clear on on what we want to have and be and do in our lives. And we've made the decision that we're going to get a divorce. I'm like, wow. So here's my point. If that was in their trajectory, if the best thing for them really was to separate, like, how soon would you want to know that versus the other couple that for all those reasons, they have strife and challenges in their marriage, but when they really looked at who they were and who they were becoming, they figured out they were much stronger together. So all that to say that when you get into the tough stuff, right, that squishy part of your heart and your soul, that stuff will come up for you.   Robert Helms (00:25:42) - You know, at the event, we put Kleenex out everywhere and people are like, what is a cold going around? Like, no, you. May need this. You may not. But I will tell you most people, if to get it done right, you have to be emotional because emotion is what will create motion, and that motion in your life will change your life.   Keith Weinhold (00:26:01) - Well, you talked about how clarity is an early step and wow, that's astounding for a couple to get the clarity that they want, amend things or a couple to get the clarity that they should end things. So we talked about goals kind of the back end and everyone knows what goals are. But kind of on that front end in the clarity, in winnowing down toward your goals. Can you speak to us more about that clarity piece? Because really, I think that's what a lot of people lack, because it probably takes some real vision.   Robert Helms (00:26:30) - Boy sure does. And it's the part I think, that people don't teach.   Robert Helms (00:26:33) - So the simple part of goal setting, you know, the Smart goals that works, but it it assumes you already know what you want. And so at our workshop the first day, we don't spend a minute on goal setting. And people are like, isn't this a goal setting workshop? Yeah, there's a whole bunch of stuff you have to do before you can set goals, right? And so I'll give the listeners some nuggets. The first is to get clear on who you are. Now, that sounds too vague and too big of a question, but specifically your principles and values that govern your life. And I've discovered that most people have about a half a dozen. There's about a half a dozen things that you value that really, really matter to you. And I don't even want to prime the pump. I don't even want to put words out. So people jump into that. Oh yeah, that sounds good. Instead, you have to spend some time alone or with some awesome music, or how whatever's best for you to get in that state, and then really delve deep on to the things that matter in your life.   Robert Helms (00:27:36) - What principles guide your life? What's super important to you? If you could only have 2 or 3 things in your life, what would they be? And then you start to get clear on really what matters. Because most of us are busy. We're busy doing all kinds of different things. And busy is not necessarily the path to success. Sometimes you have to take things off your plate in order to do more. As we like to say, you have to say no to the good in order to say yes to the great right. And most busy people really need to do some changes in that regard. First, the things that maybe you've been doing but you really aren't suited to or you don't enjoy doing, you offload those things. You learn how to delegate some of that. And then if you can spend time thinking through what matters to you as a person independent of real estate or your career, or even your family life, just the values and principles that guide you now you start to open up to that clarity, and then we take you through a whole bunch of exercises to imagine what life would be.   Robert Helms (00:28:38) - And, you know, pay attention to things that you are good at. Most people don't give themselves enough credit for their skill sets, and there's two schools of thought in personal development getting better as a person. One is I'm going to do an assessment and this is really important, do an assessment of where you're at. And as Jim Collins said in his book, Good to Great, confront the Brutal facts. If you're messing up somewhere, admit it. This is just between you and yourself, right? So admit where things aren't going. So are where maybe you're not as skilled as you like to be, or you don't have the experience that you want. And then you take an assessment of the places that you're pretty good at. You know, we don't like to pat ourselves on the back publicly, but in the privacy of your own mind, figure out, hey, there are some things that I'm skilled at. Either I have learned and developed the skill. I'm naturally drawn towards a behavior that's positive, whatever that might be for you, and then school of thought number one is I'm going to look at all the things I'm not very good at and try to get better at them.   Robert Helms (00:29:37) - And if I do that, that'll make me a better person. And that's true. The second school of thought is I'm going to do the same exact assessment, except I'm going to look at the things that I'm really good at and I'm going to design my life. So that's what I spend my time doing and the things I'm not good at. I find out how to have somebody else do those things. You can probably tell from my energy that's the school of thought I subscribe to, but both will work. But if you will focus on your unique talents and gifts and those things you are destined to be, then that's how you become the next best version of you.   Keith Weinhold (00:30:12) - Oh, these are key pieces in finding the clarity that you need to go ahead and set goals. We all become victims of weapons of mass destruction. Robert. Oftentimes I joke about how I can't believe how much stuff I get done when my iPhone is over on the charger because I can't be on the iPhone at all. So every year you host the Goals Retreat, an in-person event so a person doesn't have weapons of mass destruction, and they can really be focused.   Keith Weinhold (00:30:40) - And it's important that this is done in person. It's a hands on workshop in a focused environment. You've got a lot of great testimonials about it, and even people that repeat and show up year after year, people that become teary eyed for what you brought out of them, people that say that their lives have been changed forever. So tell us about how one can attend your goals retreat.   Robert Helms (00:30:59) - What's coming up the second weekend of the new year. It's a great time to be thinking about your future as we're at the beginning of the year when 2024 is a blank canvas and it happens in Dallas, Texas, we picked a hotel that is really conducive to having little nooks and crannies and places that you could go because there is instruction, but there's also times where you're going to go journal and answer questions and think and be alone. And it's a beautiful place. So you get some inspiration in that regard. It takes two and a half days. So we started about 5:00 in the afternoon on Friday and go till 10 or 1030 that night.   Robert Helms (00:31:33) - A lot of people are traveling in a day, so that's about as much as we can get people to pay attention before they start to nod off. But then the next day, Saturday, it's all day from, you know, 730 breakfast till 1030 at night. And then Sunday kind of 8:00 in the morning for breakfast until 6:00 at night. And then we have our afterglow reception. And, you know, I used to do this, Keith, in three hours and in three hours I could teach a lot about how to set goals and how to ask those questions. But then I'd have to send you home to do it. And a few people would, and most people wouldn't. So now in the two and a half days, you will get a ton done. Your missions, your values, your purpose. You'll answer more than 250 questions, and you'll do it in writing and you'll get some great, great stuff. Some of it you'll go, yeah, of course. And other times you'll be absolutely surprised at what happened when you put pen to paper.   Robert Helms (00:32:27) - And then on Sunday, it's really a workshop to turn those goals into action plan. So you leave not confused, not vague, but crystal clear. You obviously can't get every single thing done on every goal. In two and a half days. There's some homework, but you're going to have enough done that you'll have that momentum. So if people are interested in that, that sounds interesting to you. All you have to do is go to Goals retreat.com goals retreat.com and you can learn all about the Create Your Future 2024 goals. Retreat.   Keith Weinhold (00:32:58) - Invest in future. You. You're worth it Robert. It's been valuable. Thanks so much for coming out to the show.   Robert Helms (00:33:05) - Great to see you, Keith. Thanks for having me. I wish everybody out there a wonderful 2024.   Keith Weinhold (00:33:16) - Oh yeah, great stuff from Robert Helms. As usual to review Smart goals are specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time based. Even if it's your personal goal and you know that you won't forget that goal, it has been shown to increase your success.   Keith Weinhold (00:33:33) - If you write down your goals old school style with a pen and paper, let's review a few other things that you learned there. When you set a goal, set intermediate benchmarks within it. That's something that I need to work on personally. But before you even set goals, you'd have to know that they are the right goals. And that means that you need to get clarity of vision first. That comes with understanding your principles and values, and then you can spend your life being in the lane that you enjoy because you've helped figure out what that was in our discussion about. Are you destined versus are you made? Earlier in my life, I believed I was destined and now I believe I am made. Back when my high school classmates voted me as the most quiet and shy student, and then later I'd go on to host basically a talk show here. Well, that was my pivot point. To know that you make yourself, if you're still wrestling with the you are destined versus you are made conundrum, perhaps you can adopt the belief that you were destined to make yourself the best you that you can be, and there you've got both in one, the real estate guys host a number of world class, in-person events.   Keith Weinhold (00:34:50) - I would know because I've attended a number of them myself, from a real estate syndication event to a summit cruise to real estate field trips. But among them, all their goals retreat is their highest rated event, and it's only held annually. If it sounds interesting to you again. Goals retreat.com major thanks to Robert Helms today.

Time management is a myth. You cannot manage time. Time, just ticks by. It doesn't care about you, doesn't care what your goals are, it just keeps going. It marches on. You cannot get more time. There is no such thing as more time. There is only 24 hours in a day. There is only seven days in a week. That's all the time there will be this year, next year, the year after.What you can do though is learn how to allocate your time properly, have a clear plan and clear goals.Check out this episode of the podcast to get all the tools to really get you planning properly
