- 22. The Power ofthe Written Word • When you write things down, it sets of a chain of events that will change your life forever • Until you write a goal down on paper, it’s just a wish FUN FACT: • Writing down your goals is like a road map for your subconscious mind—it speaks directly to it and without you even knowing it, your brain starts working on how to help you manifest what you’ve just written down!

Small Successes Alongthe Way • Break down your bigger goal • Small steps lead to success • Overcommitting and under-delivering • Stay positive and realistic • Measureable • Goals should include a GPA: Goal, Plan, and Action steps • Celebrate small victories, no victory is too small • Once you start tasting the nectar of success—you will want more

Editor's Notes
- #10 Based on today’s format, we may not be able to discuss but I want you to take a moment to think about these questions. In the chat box go ahead and maybe shoot over what you think.
- #12 Seek your own sources of motivation that are not extrinsically or externally motivated: What keeps you pushing and working hard when you feel like you have nothing left? Is there a particular quote, or person, or even a song that can speak right to your heart? Use that internal fire—stoke it often and keep working. Give your work an emotional connection—make it more than the physical—invest in yourself by investing in your efforts with your whole heart
- #13 2 minute video about motivation.
- #17 Depending on where you are when it comes to health.
- #18 We are really going to focus on the last 4 that are highlighted in bold.
- #19 A lot of these are or related to lifestyle factors What are the reasons? Or The WHY behind setting these goals or achieving these things
- #20 Are you ok with failure? Keep this in the back of your mind as we continue.
- #21 Participants will write down their answers in their books and share out with a partner. Facilitate brief discussion
- #22 Remember what I mentioned about New Year’s resolutions. NEW YEAR, NEW ME!!! Is it really a new you? Did you molecular or cellular structure change over night to make you a completely different person? Did you change your name from Mary to Pam?
- #23 How many of you have written down your goals before? Have you often seen yourself referring back to your written goals to see if you have accomplished them or have they changed.
- #24 By embedding smaller benchmarks along the way to a larger goal, you feel good about yourself and ultimately want to keep going. Keep in mind—the crazier the goal, the bigger the goal, the better. The crazier the goal you want to achieve the pool of people working to achieve it actually smaller, therefore the liklihood of you succeeding is actually higher! I love the concept of SMART Goals, but I believe we need to take it a bit further. There have been some articles and people that suggest SMART goals are not the end all and be all of goal setting and that in some environments like business and other places where change occurs that they can be problematic. Not only do businesses change and adapt to life and the environment, so do we. Also, when we come to personal goals or our life, we tend to want things to happen immediately. We want that job promotion, that raise, or - when we start a diet or new exercise plan we want result NOW! However, deep down we know that things do not just happen with the snap of our fingers! I know I am guilty of this. But to truly be successful in achieving our goals and lifestyle changes it takes time and we need some PATIENCE!
- #26 Have we all heard of BHAG? Let’s find a big goal we want to achieve. And then break those down into SMART Goals and then apply the idea of Patience into rolling up the small goals into the big goal.
- #28 I mentioned failure a few slides back. The whole concept of Patience allows for us to correct course should I initial action plan fail or hit a road block. People are often afraid of the word failure and it instills fear or lack of follow through Take risks! Try new things, be a visionary.
- #29 Goals should test your limits—if it were easy, everyone would do it. The objective of working hard to achieve something is that you cultivate resiliency, wherewithal, and perseverance BY working through it
- #30 Top 3 are Cognitive Bottom 2 are Behavior People relapse Maintenance is challenging, when we think of people losing weight (large amounts) and keeping it off, this is an area of primary focus.
