1. GOALS How To Set Them How To Make Them Happen

4. It is now December 2012 and you are walking down the street and bump into yourself!

6. Why Goals ?

7. Harvard class of 1979 3% had written goals and action plans 13 % had goals 84% had none In 1989 The 13% earned as much as the 84% The 3% earned 10x the 97%

9. So if they work, why don’t we set them? Don’t think its worthwhile. Don’t know how to set them. Don’t know how to implement them. Fear they may fail. Fear others may criticise them if they fail

11. The 7 Step Plan to Goal Achievement: 1. Write a SMART goal(s) for your life – all aspects! S Specific You must clearly define the goal in specific terms. M Measurable You must be able to measure your goal, so at to determine if you have been successful. A Attainable You must believe that you can attain or reach your goal. R Realistic Your goal must fall into the realms of realism. It has to conform to the natural laws of life. T Tangible Using your senses, you must be able to touch, taste, feel, see or hear it "Many people have a good aim in life, but for some reason they never pull the trigger!"

12. Set the reward that excites you Your reward will help you pass through the fear of failure. Any time you start having second thoughts or questioning what you are doing “ Always take the reward when it is due: when the goal has been achieved. Never take if it isn't due!”

13. 3. Identify any potential obstacles & set strategies to overcome these obstacles “ You must have long range goals to keep you from being frustrated by short range failures!"

14. 4. List your Action Steps Q: What is the easiest way to eat an elephant? Prioritised Clearly defined Identify any help / training required A target date set Ticked on completion "Goals without time limits are only wishes"

15. Write a positive affirmation to support your goal in the conscious & subconscious An affirmation is a positive, present tense statement that supports what you are trying to achieve. The quality of your affirmation is important. An OK affirmation includes the goal or the reward and includes “Yes”

16. 6. Reading the goal, repeating the affirmation out loud, visualising the goal, and visualising the reward with all your senses at least twice a day.

17. 7. Celebrate success!

18. What barriers are keeping you back: What negative thoughts are in the back of you mind? What is that wee small voice in your head saying: “ You're not good enough.” “ You don't have enough talent.” “ You don't have enough education/training.” Don't accept it. Don't listen to it. Forge ahead. Turn those negative thoughts into positive actions generating phenomenal results. Surround yourself with positive people

19. The Roger Bannister Story 6 th May 1954 – the first sub 4 minute mile run by Bannister 46 days later – John Landy ran a sub 4 minute mile End of 1957 – 16 runner logged a sub 4 minute mile To date – Over 955 runners run sub 4 minute miles . . . 4800+ times! "My body had long since exhausted all its energy, but it went on running just the same. The physical overdraft came only from greater willpower.”

20. Think BIG. Set challenging GOALS. Enlist the SUPPORT you need. OVERCOME your inertia. CHOOSE your beliefs BUILD Optimism MAKE your life.

21. "It's the ability to take more out of yourself than you've got.” Roger Bannister
