1. Defining Your “Why”
and Selecting Your
30 Day Goals

2. We all want the same things:
★ To matter
★ To love and be loved
★ To be seen
★ To contribute
★ To connect
★ To belong
★ To achieve mastery
★ To be affirmed

3. Alignment:
Living in agreement with your
values and purpose.

4. Keys to Alignment
• Knowing your “why” can help you identify
your values and purpose.
• We don’t just want goals for goals sake.
• Pay attention to what resonates.
• Start (we’ll refine along the way).
• Show up/Get out of the stands and into the
arena.

5. Most Important Things
(MITs)
• We aren’t able to focus on too many things
at once.
• Choosing 3-4 MITs forcing ourselves to
prioritize before we feel the “crunch.”

6. Pick 3-4 MITs for the
next 30 days.

7. Master the
20 Minute Window
20 Minute Window
• Pomodoro technique.
• 20 minutes is effective.
• More frequent is usually better than a
longer duration.
• KISS (keep it simple, silly)

8. SMART Goals
• Specific
• Measurable
• Attainable
• Relevant
• Time-Bound

9. Specific
• What (What do I want to accomplish?)
• Why (Reason for accomplishing the goal)

10. Measurable
• How will you know it is accomplished?

11. Attainable
• Goal needs to be reasonable for the time
period given.

12. Relevant
• Does the goal relate to your “Why” or
your purpose in life?

13. Time-Bound
• Goal has a clear time period in which to be
completed.

14. Not SMART vs SMART?
• Work on my novel vs. add 5000 new words to the novel.
• Exercise regularly vs exercise for at least 30 minutes
three times a week.
• Expand my social circle vs. sign up for a new class.
• Declutter the house vs. clean out hall closet in an hour
and take the donations to Goodwill.

15. Plan for your stumbling
blocks
• Overwhelm
• Distraction
• Too many goals

16. Write one SMART
30-Day Goal for each
of your MITs.

17. Write 1-2 goals for
each MIT for the
upcoming week.

18. What’s next?
• ShareYour Goals
• Write DownYour Goals
• NoteYour Insights
• CelebrateYour Successes
