Setting Personal Goal Philosophy
• Many people work hard, but don't get anywhere worthwhile.
• A key reason that they feel this way is:
– They haven't spent enough time thinking about what they want from life.
– Haven't set themselves formal goals.
– After all, would you set out on a major journey with no real idea of your
destination? Probably not!

Create "big picture”
11/9/2015 12

1. Consider what you want to achieve in your lifetime:
(or at least, by a significant and distant age in the future).
– It gives overall perspective, shapes all aspects of your decision making.
– Give a broad, balanced coverage of all important areas in your life.
– Set goals in categories of your own (important to you):
– Career - Financial
– Education - Family
– Artistic - Attitude
– Physical - Pleasure
– Public Service - What else?
11/9/2015 13

• Career
– What level do you want to reach in your career?
– What do you want to achieve?
• Financial
– How much do you want to earn, by what stage?
– How is this related to your career goals?
• Education
– Is there any knowledge you want to acquire in particular?
– What information and skills will you need to achieve other goals?
• Family
– Do you want to be a parent?
– How are you going to be a good parent?
– How do you want to be seen by a partner or members of your family?
• Artistic
– Do you want to achieve any artistic goals?
11/9/2015 14

• Attitude
– Is any part of your mindset holding you back?
– Is there any part of the way you behave upsets you?
(If so, set a goal to improve your behavior or find a solution to the problem.)
• Physical
– Are there any athletic goals that you want to achieve, or do you want good health deep
into old age? What steps are you going to take to achieve this?
• Pleasure
– How do you want to enjoy yourself?
• Public Service
– Do you want to make the world a better place? If so, how?
• What Else …………………… ?
– Do you want to achieve any other goals?

2. Spend some time Brainstorming these things.
3. Select goals in each category reflect what you want to do.
4. Trimming again to have a small number of really significant
goals that you can focus on.
• Make sure that goals are ones that you genuinely want to
achieve, not ones that your parents, family, or employers
might want.
(If you have a partner, you probably want to consider what he or she wants – however,
make sure that you also remain true to yourself!)

2. Create a one-year plan.
3. Develop six-month plan.

and experience.

Step 4: SMART Goals©
• Make your goals powerful by using the SMART technique.
• While there are plenty of variants, SMART usually stands
for:

Step 5: Guidelines for Setting Your Goals
1) State each goal as a positive statement:
 Express your goals positively .
 Example:
"Execute this technique well" Vs. "Don't make this stupid mistake."
2) Be precise:
 Set precise goals, putting in dates, times and amounts (to measure).
 To know you achieved goal and take satisfaction from achievement
11/9/2015 23

3) Set priorities:
 When you have several goals, give each a priority.
 Cause and Effect Model (Activity first, then Results).
 Helps to direct your attention to the most important ones.
4) Write goals down:
 This crystallizes them and gives them more force.
5) Keep operational goals small:
 Keep the low-level goals small and achievable.
 Keeping goals small and incremental gives more
opportunities for reward (Minor successors keep you
motivated).
11/9/2015 24

• Set performance goals, not outcome goals:
– Set goals over which you have as much control as possible.
– It can be disappointing to fail in achieving personal goal for
reasons beyond your control!
• In business:
– These reasons could be bad business environments or
unexpected effects of government policy.
• In sport:
– They could include poor judging, bad weather, injury, or just
plain bad luck.
– Keep control over the achievement of your goals, and draw
satisfaction from them.
11/9/2015 25

• Set realistic goals:
– It's important to set goals that you can achieve.
– All (for example, employers, parents, media, or society) can set unrealistic goals for
you.
– They will often do this in ignorance of your own desires and ambitions.
– It's also possible to set goals that are too difficult because:
• You might not appreciate obstacles.
• You might not understand quite how much skill you need to develop.

Achieving Goals
11/9/2015 27

Achieving Goals
• When you achieve a goal, take time to enjoy.
• Observe the progress that you've made towards other goals.
• With the experience of having achieved this goal, review the rest of your
goal plans:
– If you achieved the goal too easily, make your next goal harder.
– If the goal took a hard length of time to achieve, make the next goal a little
easier.
– If you learned something that would lead you to change other goals, do so.
– If you noticed a deficit in your skills despite achieving the goal, decide whether
to set goals to fix this.
11/9/2015 28

Achieving Goals
• Tip 1:
– Set yourself up for success when it comes to your goals.
• Tip 2:
• It's important to remember that failing to meet goals does not matter
much. “learn from experience”.
• Feed learned lessons back into the process of setting your next goals.
• Remember that your goals will change as time goes on.
• Adjust goals regularly to reflect growth in your knowledge and experience.
• If goals do not hold any attraction any longer, consider letting them go.

Example Personal Goals
• For her New Year's Resolution, Susan has decided to think
about what she really wants to do with her life.
• Her lifetime goals are as follows:
– Career – "To be managing editor of the magazine that I work for."
– Artistic – "To keep working on my illustration skills. Ultimately I want
to have my own show in our downtown gallery."
– Physical – "To run a marathon."
• Now that Susan has listed her lifetime goals, she then breaks
down each one into smaller, more manageable goals.
11/9/2015 30

• Let's take a closer look at how she might break down her lifetime career
goal – becoming managing editor of her magazine:
– Five-year goal: "Become deputy editor."
– One-year goal: "Volunteer for projects that the current Managing Editor is
heading up."
– Six-month goal: "Go back to school and finish my journalism degree."
– One-month goal: "Talk to the current managing editor to determine what
skills are needed to do the job."
– One-week goal: "Book the meeting with the Managing Editor."
• As you can see from this example, breaking big goals down into smaller,
more manageable goals makes it far easier to see how the goal will get
accomplished.
11/9/2015 31

• Tip:
• Use one of the successful tested template to
organize your goals.
11/9/2015 32

– Separating what's important from what's irrelevant, or a distraction.
– Motivating yourself.

11/9/2015 33

Summary
