Goal Setting: Find What Works For You
Over the years I’ve been introduced to a handful of goal setting processes. After much trial and error I’ve discovered the trick is finding the one that resonates most with you.
1. SMART Goals
This is an acronym you’ve likely heard numerous times. SMART goals are:
Specific
Measurable
Attainable
Realistic
Time
Is a SMART goal really better than a non-SMART goal? For the most part yes. The realistic part perhaps not.
Do You Use Reviews?
Do you track and measure your progress towards your personal and/or business goals? Some of you may have groaned or zoned out. Tracking sounds very technical and… boring.
Why Bother with Reviews?
Perhaps you’ve heard this quote… “What we focus on expands.”
From what I’ve read about manifestation, when we give our brain (specifically, the Reticular Activating System) something to focus on, it goes in search of that thing in our physical world.
Let’s take this a step further. It’s really easy to get distracted from our goals. In order to keep our focus on what we want to have in our life (or to have more of in our life) we can use vision boards, for example, as a visual reminder of what we want to create.
In addition to this, we can monitor our progress on a regular basis. One way of doing this is a review.
Affordable Life Coach Training
Have you decided to become a life coach but have found the cost of coaching training prohibitive?
If so, you’re not alone. The tuition for an ICF accredited coach training program (ACTP), which are at least 125 hours in length, averages approx. $6355 US.1
Many prospective coaches don’t have access to that much money all at once.
