power of goal-setting and why it's important to set and work toward
goals in your life. And how this Skillshare
lesson and are you re-imagined eBook can help support you on your
goal-setting journey. We will also talk through the
significance of the Trinity and more about the framework we provide by using

these activities will allow you to put
thoughts to paper and flush out your top goals and what you really

critical to this process. We share a common tool
using a bullet journal. Finally, ways Inspire,
where we will create the additional resources
to help you stay focused and on this
journey to a new you. So let's get started.
2. Lesson 2: Significance of the Trinity: Less than two. The significance of the Trinity
and schools of thought. Why the Trinity? In our e-book you re-imagined, we explore the power
of three to set a solid foundation for your goals and to
crystallize your vision. It helped frame
our work more from a practical perspective
rather than a religious one. This strategy helps you build a simple personal framework
to set your ideal goals. Create follow-through
techniques, practice re-calibration
and reflection. Throughout the eBook, we
introduced three individuals on their own journey of
goal-setting and vision boarding. They are prime examples of
leveraging these tools, driving action, and
achieve, achieving results. You will also review three schools of thought
to help you discover ways to stay focused on
accomplishing your own goals. Self-fulfilling prophecy, law of attraction, rule of 101010. We'd like to provide an overview of each of these schools
of thought as they will be helpful as you begin setting in accomplishing
your life's goals. First, there's the
law of attraction. One definition simply describes the law of attraction
as a philosophy, suggesting that
positive thoughts bring positive results
into a person's life. While negative thoughts
bring negative outcomes, we only attract that which we are in vibrational
harmony with. Anything else defies
the law of attraction. It's that easy. The law of attraction
teaches like attracts, like when you put forth
positive energy into the world, you will receive positive
results and return. Begin by thinking
positively about your own goals and dreams to
help bring them to reality. Vision boards can also be a mainstream tool
for manifesting those dreams with the idea that if you dream it,
you will achieve it. Next is self-fulfilling
prophecy. It highlights how your
thoughts and attitude make all the difference
in the world in predicting your future success. In 1948, Robert K. Merton coined the
term self-fulfilling prophecy to describe a false
definition of the situation. Evoking a behavior which makes the originally false
conception come true. There are two types of
self-fulfilling prophecies. Those that come from
self-imposed thoughts, and those that come from the expectations or the
influence of others. The famous Henry Ford quote, Whether you think you can or whether you think you
can't, you're right. This emphasizes
how much attitude determines success or failure. Be sure to have the
right attitude when it comes to believing you
can achieve your goals. Finally, let's touch
on the rule of 101010. Susie, author Suzi wells, popular businesswoman
and wife of Jack Welch, wrote a book, 10101010 minutes, ten months, and ten years, a life
of transforming idea. In it, she shares
her approach to an effective
decision-making concept. She says, and I quote, We all want to lead a
life of our own choosing. But in today's
accelerated world, is with competing priorities, information overload and
confounding options. We can easily find ourselves steered by impulse,
dress or expedience. End quote. Her book became a
New York Times and Wall Street Journal
bestseller in 2009. She shares her approach to every challenging situation by asking herself these
three questions. One, what are the consequences of my decision in ten minutes? To what are the consequences of my decision in ten months? And three, what are the consequences of my
decision in ten years? Today in life, we all deal with a tremendous amount of
stress and inflammation. We juggle multiple
priorities and even struggle with all that comes at us at any given moment in
our everyday lives. When faced with these situation, Welch uses the opportunity to ask herself those
three questions. Not only does it assist
her in deciding, but it also is a way
to share the why behind her decisions
with others in her life. The rule of 101010 is one way to break the situation
down and simplify the answers to the
direction you will need to take in getting to
where you want to go. Which school of thought
resonates with you? If one or all, be sure you start with
the right frame of mind, it can make all the difference.
3. Lesson 3: Overview of 3 Types of Goals: Lesson three, introduction
three types of goals. Outcome, behavioral and smart. For many, making a change or a new habit for productive and fulfilling life
can be difficult. While for others,
it can be simple. Either way, if you
plan to design or redesign your life and
start crushing your goals, you must first decide
you are worth it. Remember, mindset is everything. Roy Bennett, the author of the light and the heart stated, happiness depends on your
mindset and attitude. We talk about the
self-fulfilling prophecy and how much your attitude determines your success or failure in life. Once you have your
mindset and check, be crystal clear
on what you want, it's time to invest in yourself. And to do that, you must
focus on your goals. No matter how big or
small your goal is, it'll probably take
several steps to reach it. In some cases, you might choose a small goal that only takes a handful of tasks to complete. Other times, your ultimate
goal might be big and bold and lead you to a
new dynamic direction. You might be juggling different aspects of
the goal all at once. No matter the size, all goals benefit from
being broken down into individual bite-sized
steps or tasks. Don't forget to celebrate
both big and small wins. Changes, often hard. There'll be challenges
on your road to success. It's important to
take the time to celebrate each goal
along the way. And again, when you
reach your final goal. In upcoming three lessons, we will review three
types of goals, outcome goals, behavioral
goals, and smart goals. Let's take a look at each
together and walk through examples of each in order
to get you started.
4. Lesson 4: It's all about the Outcome: Lesson four, It's all
about the outcome. Stephen Covey
offers this advice. Always begin with
the end in mind. Make sure you begin the journey with a clear
sense of direction. First, write down
your life's goals. Decide what your
desired outcome looks like and the timeframe
you plan to achieve it. Then make a realistic list of action items
to get you there. After you have
exhausted your list by writing down everything
you want to achieve, be ready to flex those positivity muscles
around your goals. As you get specific around what you want to
accomplish in life, the word goal can have
several meanings. Maybe you want to lose a
specific amount of weight, or maybe you set your sights
and completing a marathon or consistently achieve
your monthly quota at work. These goals are all
examples of outcome goals. Whatever the
outcome, be sure you realize it will be a
journey and it will make, may take different
paths to get there. The specific actionable
steps to meet an outcome or behavioral goals, which we will explore
in our next lesson. For now, let's explain
more about outcome goals. You create outcome goals based on the results that you
were looking to achieve. Your goal posts or
your destination. Structure, outcome goals 0
in on the desired result. Here are a few tips to help you focus in on your outcome goals. One, lead with a purpose. It's important to know specifically why you
are doing something. Be honest with yourself and around the true purpose
of the outcome goal. Too. Don't forget to create
those smaller smart goals. Are your goals specific, measurable, attainable,
relevant, and time-based? Track your progress
consistently and regularly. For consider the adjustments
you might need to take. Recalibrating often
helps you narrow the focus and brings you closer
to achieving your goals. And five, celebrate
each small win and simply recognize you need to be patient
with yourself. Visualize your result and
capture the outcomes. Once a solid foundation
is in place, you can focus on
your smaller goals. They can be the secret
to your success. Connect those dots around your goals and keep
moving forward. Let's move on to identifying how to create
behavioral based goals. In the next lesson.
5. Lesson 5: Behavioral Goals: Lesson five, behavioral goals. What, why, and how. Behavioral goals can serve as a great compliment to
outcome-based goals. Outcome goals described
your desired outcome. Behavioral goals detail
how you will get there. A vacation destination may be the equivalent
of an outcome goal. While the detailed roadmap compares to the
behavioral goals. Without an actionable plan, we typically never
do what we need to do to actually achieve
our desired outcome. One of the challenges with traditional
outcome-based goals, there are often factors
that you will have little, if any, control over. For example, if I have
a goal of weight-loss, my metabolism may be
working against me, prohibiting me to
lose the weight. Even if I'm doing
everything right. Like daily exercise,
drinking more water, and eating nutritious
low calorie meals. Creating effective
behavioral based goals is the process of combining programmatic steps with learning behaviors to produce positive and life
transforming outcomes. They are designed to
move you from where you are to the place where you have identified
you want to go. When you set
behavioral based goals to complement your
outcome goals, you can supercharge
your ability to envision and create
your desired outcome. Since you're always in
control of your actions, behavioral goals can keep you focused and shielded from
any outside influence. Consider it this way. Outcome-based goal is to
find your destination. While behavioral goals
outline your strategy, you can use these
actionable strategies to become happier, healthier, insignificantly,
more productive. To achieve your desired outcome, you must challenge yourself with behavioral goals that include
evidence-based results. Reaching any goal larger, small, requires much more than just
identifying the end point. You need to create a
specific actionable plan. So you can avoid circling around haphazardly rather than taking direct steps towards your goal. When we do not have a
specific roadmap for how we were going to achieve
the desired outcome. We often fall into a
vicious cycle that looks like one step forward
and two steps back. When you create time
in your schedule to develop supportive
behavioral goals and habits, you create a routine of performing the actions
that are needed to bring you closer to your goal
one step at a time. Creating a clear
roadmap by using behavioral goals removes a
rigid focus on the outcomes, and pull replaces that with a more manageable and
trackable action steps. To be effective, these
behavioral goals need to be concrete and specific
rather than abstract. Consider making a list of
your wishes for the future. Work backwards. What
action steps do you need to take
consistently to get their create real detailed
roadmap with specific daily steps that will move you in the direction
you want to go. Setting solid strategic
behavioral goals that are clear and measurable, outlines the work
that needs to be done in order to get you
where you want to be. Remember to change any outcome. We first need to change your
behavior to be successful.
6. Lesson 6: S.M.A.R.T Goals: Lesson six, the
smarter the better. You may have heard the
acronym smart *** and ART as a mainstream tool
to better build goals. Let's define what each letter represents and dig more into this approach and how it is the key to
reliable achievement. Specific. Be as specific as you can be. If your goal is to meet
the man of your dreams, does he really have to be over six feet tall and have
a dimple on his chin. It's important to
have a clear target, but being too specific
may limit your options. Stick to the important
characteristics. The factors that are
critical to you. Losing weight is not
specific enough. Losing £15 within a six-month
period is very simple. Specific, measurable. If you can't measure it, how will you know
you've achieved it? How will you know if you
even are making progress? Some goals are easy to
quantify than others. For example, I can set a goal of making a difference through
my intention or actions. That goal would be hard
to quantify otherwise. So if I set a goal to 30 random acts of kindness
within ten weeks, that's easy to measure. Either I will do
it or I will not. Attainable. It's critical to believe you can and you will
achieve your goal. When you do, you will
pursue it with vigor, the shortest start small, and work towards the timeline
you set for yourself. Build upon those initial
wins to attain your goals. Be sure that you have all the
tools and resources needed, plus dedicate the time
to realistically do so. Setting a goal to start a
new business that next ten K per week within two months
is typically not attainable. You want to make sure you believe both on a conscious
and subconscious level, that the goal is attainable. Relevant. You must be passionate
about your goals and have a clear
framework for why it is important and how
your life will be different once the
goal is achieved. This is the time to change
your perspective and ask yourself what's in
it for me or with them. Is this approach
getting me where I want to be or need to be? The goals must be relevant. If you do not have the y, you want do the what, what you do want to lose weight. Random acts of kindness started business
or any other goal, you will decide to pursue it. Time-bound. Without a simple timeline, might find yourself waiting for a long time because you'll
be unlikely to ever get started having an endpoint date created, focus and urgency. Going back to my
weight loss example, losing £15 without setting a specific timeframe
is not effective. The time element is critical
to goal achievement. I chose to pinpoint
ten weeks and work backwards to determine whether I can do it
in that timeframe. Whatever school of thought, be sure to use an approach
that works for you.
7. Lesson 7: Goal Identification Activities: Lesson seven, Goal
Identification activities. It's time to
identify your goals. Let's use the next three Goal
Identification activities to begin to flush out your top outcome and
behavioral goals. Activity one, take out a
sheet of paper, or maybe two. If you have a lot of thoughts
around goal-setting, top of mind, pull the timer
on your watch or your iPhone, set it for three minutes. During this time, you will
brainstorm on everything that comes to mind related to the goals that you'd like
to accomplish this year. If you think it,
just write it down. If you think it's far-fetched, just write it down. Trust yourself. Let your mind, free flow. Capture all that
you are thinking. Are you ready? Now? Pause the lesson,
set your timer and start writing all your
thoughts down on your paper. Go. Welcome back. Well, how did that feel? Hope you have a
good long list of goals from the identification
of activity one. Now, what I want you to
do is look at that list. From that list, see
what services to the top are the ones that
resonate with you more. Get ready to pause this lesson one more time for
another minute or two. What I want you to
do is write down your top three goals
from that list. In activity one. These will be your first set of
outcome goals to tackle. Remember, you can do this. So by now, you should have had a long list of potential
and future outcome goals. That was activity one. Then you should have taken
the time and activity two to reflect on which will be your
top three outcome goals. You can go back to that
list later and add to it or pick additional goals
you want to attack later. But now for activity three, this is what I want you to do under each of
those three goals. Now it's time to identify at least three
specific behaviors or habits that will lead you toward each of
your outcome goals. These will be your
behavioral goals. As we learned in lesson five, without an actionable plan, we typically never do what we need to do to actually
achieve our desired outcome. Be as detailed as possible, and make sure your
behavioral goals are smart to are they specific? Are they measurable? Are they attainable, relevant, and timely, like
we covered in lesson six? Take some time to
pause one more time. Write out these
behavioral and smart, actionable steps underneath
each goal before you proceed.
8. Lesson 8: Reflection Activity: Lesson eight, reflection and
the benefit of journaling. I'm expecting you right now, you have your top three
outcome goals with the associated behavioral
goals captured and on display. Have you typed them
up yet, written out? If so, think about hanging
it up on your mirror, your nightstand, or
your refrigerator. Let's take some time to reflect before you get started
working on these goals. What excites you about
these top goals? I want to make sure you
take the time to document the commitments that you will make an order to move forward. Reflection time is a critical and important
step in this process. Many people face challenges
when setting goals, especially for the first time. It will not be easy. But dedication,
patience, and support. You can overcome
potential hurdles. Like wanting to quit too soon
or believing in yourself. Remember, mindset matters. Believe you can and you
will never give up. Considered journaling
each day on your accomplishments,
great or small. Capturing challenges, thoughts and feelings
is so important. If it's easier considered doing this with a friend
or family member. He or she can be your
accountability buddy. This way, you can
talk through and encourage each other
along your journey. Always take the time to
capture your progress. Bigger, small steps
along the way, whether it's daily,
weekly, and monthly. Be sure you either
celebrate or re-calibrate.
9. Lesson 9: Stay Inspired: Lesson nine, stay inspired. You've come to the end of our power of
goal-setting course. Before we part, Dr.
Yvonne and I want to leave you with ten tips for
your goals setting journey. One, Gleick, get clear
on your desired results. What do you really want
to achieve and why? To remember that we live
in a vibrational Universe. Energy goes where
attention flows. Create a powerful outcome goal, one that inspires you each day. Four, outline your
supporting behavioral goals. What do you need to consistently do to achieve
your outcome goal? Five, evaluate your outcome and behavioral goals to
make sure they're smart. Six, document your plan and
have accountability partner. Seven, set of
recurring meeting with your accountability partner to help each other stay focused. Eight, when you veer off track, step back, re-calibrate, and
reset your behavioral goals. Nine, create a
dynamic vision board. It doesn't matter if you decide to go digital
or traditional. Great pictures,
quotes, affirmations, and a personalization
are powerful and will help you
manifest your dream life. And finally, ten, believe in yourself and do not
let any person, place or thing getting your way. Please use your resources. Start with you re-imagined. The expanded edition
