The Right Time and Place for Goal Setting

In the Dynamic Transitioning program I emphasize the importance of completing the first three points BEFORE goal setting. There is a reason for this. The 7-Point Program prepares you for setting goals AND achieving them. First you'll complete the following: 1) Know Thyself, The Power of YOU; 2) Consider the Possibilities, The Power of Blue Sky; and 3) See Yourself Succeeding, the Power of Visioning. Point 4 is Plan The Work, Work The Plan, The Power of ACTION. This is extremely important. You must know who you are and open your mind to possibilities. You must be able to SEE yourself in action. You need strategy and then tactics.

I believe in goal setting. It is very powerful to put goals on paper and track yourself or your project or your team against the goals. It can be very motivating - and the satisfaction of completing goals is also motivating. I did it! feels great.

I came across this article in a blog today and wanted to share it with my readers. "People need a sense of purpose and meaning in their lives. Life without purpose is dissatisfying, even depressing. So the advice to set yourself clear life goals seems obvious good sense. Why then do so many give up on the goals they have set themselves? From New Year's resolutions to "new me" decisions, goal setting seems to lead to failure and resignation more often than success." It goes on to talk about goal setting. There are some good suggestions in the article. I encourage you to keep an open mind and continue learning. I'll do my best to bring more to you as well.
