GOALS

Goals –
Part 3

# 9 Reward Yourself

Pre-flight instructions always inform you to put on your own oxygen mask before attempting to help others.

3 – C’s of achieving goals:
Commitment
Concentration
Courage


# 10 Maintain Personal integrity

It is personal integrity that fundamentally unites the other nine.
Don’t tarnish your goal by doing something so bush league as quitting just because things got difficult.

Values lay the groundwork for goals;
Goals lead to the fulfillment of your mission;
You mission leads to the realization of your life’s work – your legacy

If success is your destination, you will arrive there on a carriage called Planning pulled by a horse named Integrity.

Goals

# 5 Involve Others
Goals mean growth, and growth requires new knowledge.

# 6 Welcome Failure
Success cannot exist without failure as failure is part of the steering mechanism that drives you to success.

Failure measures your personal investment in this goal – it is a test of character, commitment, and courage.

We all live a life of close calls, belly flops, and missed opportunities. The truth is we’re all cowards, some are just bigger cowards than others. Your persistence in the face of failure and set back is a measure of your belief in yourself and your goal.

# 7 Purposeful Action
Dreams become reality through one simple mode of transportation: purposeful action. Intimidate your fears through purposeful goal-directed activity.

# 8 Inspect what you expect
Inspection actually expends time by helping to maintain focus.
Inspections are meant to revisit, revise and reinforce predetermined standards of performance.

GOALS - Part 1

I read this article by Gary Ryan Blair

Achieving a goal is like opening a combination lock.

Each of these 10 rules is a piece of the combination; each seamlessly integrates with the other nine; each one counts!

Success is the ability, first, to recognize opportunity; second, to form plans and strategies that leverage opportunity; and, third, to develop the necessary skills needed to execute those strategies.

# 1 Be Decisive
# 2 Stay Focused
# 3 Write Your Goals

6 important goal setting questions

1 Who will be involved in helping you achieve this goal?
2 What is the goal? What specifically do you want to accomplish?
3 Where are you now in relation to this goal?
4 When do you expect to achieve this goal?
5 How will you accomplish this goal?
6 Why do you want to achieve this goal?

# 4 Plan thoroughly
A short time spent in planning can save you a long time of regret and misery?
If at all possible, sleep on plans that are extremely difficult.
