Goal Setting 101

“If you are not making the progress you would like to make and are capable of

making, it is simply because your goals are not clearly

defined.”- Paul J. Meyer

Goal Setting Sucks!

• It actually works!

• We often work on the goals of others.

• Too much setting, not enough action.

• Often acts outside of the purpose for our

lives.

• Most goals are about what we want to

have, do, or accomplish.

• Goal Setting should be about who we

want to become.

What is Success?

• Progressive • Realization • Worthwhile• Predetermined• Personal • Goal

“Goal setting begins with an awareness of where you are right now and a desire to change the future.”

- SOS Leadership Seeds of Success Program

• A prelude to action.

• A course to take.

• An expression of your strengths.
