eViews Tell me about your work in goal-setting?Warwick OK. I was bumbling through life, not really achieving what I wanted to achieveor knowing what I wanted to achieve. And then finally it sort of dawned on me after Id heardfrom nearly everybody else, that if I had set goals, if I set goals for myself that I would be morefocused on achieving things. One of the key things that I read that really triggered this for mewas a book called Alice in Wonderland. And the section that I refer to is when Alice is lostin the forest and she stumbles across the Cheshire Cat. And she says to the Cheshire Cat, Im

lost. Which way should I go? And the Cheshire Cat says Where do you want to go? AndAlice says Well, it doesnt really matter, as long as I get somewhere. And the Cheshire Catsays, Well it doesnt matter which way you go! Thats what I found, for me, I wasnt reallygoing anywhere, and then finally I decided that I needed to do something, and the big thing forme was, I was obese. And I was very concerned that I was going to be a 30 year old heartattack victim. So what I did was... got a group of friends around me, told them that I wasconcerned about it, and that I wanted to lose weight and increase my health. And when it cameto goal setting, Im really focused... Theres three types of goals. Theres the dream goal, the

performance goal and the daily goal. Now by that, when your dream goal is... For me, forexample. I want to lose twenty kilos, so Ill wake up and think, yeah gonna lose twenty kilos.The performance goal is, OK, what do I have to do to lose twenty kilos. And that might be,Ive got to exercise certain times in the day or do a half hour walking every day, or maybe itsgoing to be Im only going to eat three meals a day and no chocolate bars or whatever. And

then theres the daily goal which is actually doing that, and actually refraining from eating poorfoods, etc. Now goal setting... There are some negative things when it comes to goal setting; ifyou set yourself a goal and youre so focused on it that you can be close-minded to other thingsthat happen. There may be some changes that happen in your life and you dont fluctuate tothat because youre so focused on the goal... Many sporting people get very focused on goals,and if they focus on a certain time for an event, thinking that that time will win, if there isanother time thats faster... Theyre focused on their time. And so thats usually what happenscause theyre... The mind is so powerful that they meet the goal that theyre focused on. Andother people dont like goals because they find it restrictive, whatever... but I... Im a very bigone for goals because my personal experience is that I was just floating without them. So whatI did and what I currently do is at any point in time have three major goals, that Im aiming for.

At the moment I have three major goals and they are: to have a certain income level with mybusiness, to have a certain level of accreditation with in the National Speakers Association ofAustralia. I currently have the third highest level and I want to have the second highest level.And the final one is for me to have a published book. Now theyre the three goals that I have,and what I do is I think about those, basically, every day. I have an affirmation that I gothrough and think about those goals. Now theyre effectively as I said, my dream goals.Theres other levels of the goals and what I have to do to that, so for, for example, for myaccreditation, whenever I do a presentation or do any work, I make sure I get a testimonial, awritten letter saying how wonderful they thought I was, because thats part of what I need to doto get that next level of accreditation. Also I need to go to a national conference, I need to do afew other things. So Im working on those and I put those in my diary and I have time plans forthem. The other things about goals is... frequently we hear people say that they need to beSMART which is an acronym for; they need to be specific, they need to be measurable, theyneed to be achievable, realistic, and timely. So if you have a goal, lets say Oh one day Imgoing to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, and then five years later its like, Oh yeah thats right, Iwant to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, its not really a goal, thats more a dream. By having it as agoal its when are you going to climb it by, what process are you going to put into place. Soits all about, bringing all your energies to focus on achieving your goals.eV Why is it that most people do so badly at reaching goals?W A lot of its focus, they lose focus. Everybodys life is busy. There is so muchhappening in everybodys life that what happens is they might have a goal, and then somethingwill get in the road of that. Maybe their goal might be they want to go on a holiday every year,and they put in their leave form with their boss, and their boss is like, Oh nows not a goodtime, weve got this such-and-such project on. Can you wait... a month? And then next monthits, Can you wait a month? And so different things get in their road, and people dont... inmy experience, people dont stand up for their goals. They dont fight for them. They let otherforces push them round a little bit. Also a lot of people dont set goals. They think they do, butits either a dream, or its a very loose goal. So when it comes time to making a decision aboutan action they need to take in their life, the goal is so far back in their mind that they dont actin its best interests. Also because, people will sit down and go, Oh, heres my goals, and

forget all about them. By revisiting them every week... is a good plan, they stay top of mind,they stay in your mind so you can make actions based on them. I mean, so many of us have hadNew Years resolutions where we say, Right, this year Im going to yufgyg! Usually its loseweight or get fit or give up smoking or whatever. Come February, youve forgotten all about it,life goes on and its not as important any more to you.

eV Once you reach a goal, whats the next step?W One thing that I would strongly encourage is to celebrate success. Once you have madeand reached that level, it is a real must to celebrate it. That way you are acknowledging it toyourself, youre acknowledging this level of achievement. What I used to do is, once Id hit agoal, Id instantly raise the bar. Set a higher goal. And then struggle towards it, andultimately... I would set the bar too high and I would not reach my goal, and then that woulddecrease my self esteem, decrease my self worth. I wasnt achieving what I had set for myselfso... a whole lot of negative things happened. Ive turned it around now so when I set my goalsI try and set them in nice little chunks that are achievable, follow that SMART formula wetalked about before, and then once you do achieve them, celebrate it! Do something nice foryourself whether its like, buying yourself something or, having a massage or something that

helps really acknowledge that youve made an achievement. What happens, as part of yoursubconscious, you enjoy that celebrating process, and so it gives you extra energy for you toreach the next goal because you know youre going to celebrate at the end of it. Then afteryouve celebrated that, and really acknowledged that youve achieved it, turn around, look at itand, OK, whats the next level? And it may be something completely different.eV I want to go back a couple of steps. You said when you finally decided that you wantedto get serious about losing weight, that you gathered some close friends together. How doesthat fit into the process? Why was that important?W It was important for me because I needed support. I knew I couldnt do it on my own. Iwas at a size where, if I could have done it on my own, I mean Id done so many diets, Iwouldve done it years ago. I realised that... there were going to be some tough times, and Idneed support from people to help me with issues I was facing. To when I felt like eating somefood that Id prefer not to, if I wanted a chocolate bar or something, if I could ring up a friendfirst and say, I want to eat a chocolate bar. Tell me not to or just... whatever. They could giveme support, that I didnt have at that time. Also it helps because I was able to share myproblems with them, I could then also share my success with them and... I think also, withsome of our goals, if we tell other people theyre no longer our secret. Frequently what I usedto do was set a goal and say, Right. Im going to do this, but not tell anyone, so when Inever did it, well it didnt really count. So by telling other people, I really want to do this andI seek your help, they could keep you honest I suppose.
