7 Goal-Setting Categories | Dave Ramsey

for your goals to have a long-term positive impact they have to include goals in virtually every area of your life now as we enter this part and really this whole lesson let me encourage you that many of you have seen some of these materials before and let me encourage you to take them back and talk to some of your team about some stuff like this goal-setting stuff that we're getting ready to wade into because people and again I see I've seen this stuff since I was 12 years old I grew up in the motivational sales world you know all those people that taught that stuff and have done such a wonderful job but I taught this lesson and a 42 year old guy with an MBA that works on my team with a master's in business came up to me afterwards Niko's that stuff never seen thing like that seemed life-changing and he was just he was just jazzed man like he had a conversion experience it was unbelievable and I'm like dude I've seen that my whole life how do you get an MBA and not see this is why I never see anything like it is incredible so don't just assume that everyone because you've seen it has seen it I'm always amazed at who hasn't looked at basic goal-setting and done that in every area of their life you need goals in your career everyone needs career goals everyone needs financial goals personal financial goals your business needs financial goals you need spiritual goals you need physical goals intellectual goals you need family goals and you need social goals written you need a goal in all of these areas now here's what normally happens with most of us now Zig Ziglar taught this for years and he called it the Wheel of Life as a matter of fact to this day if you go to Ziggler calm and you see the Wheel of Life you'll see the financial spoke is provided by our organization because we've been good friends with Zig when before he passed away and with Tom his son Gene SIG's wife is widowed and we still interact with that organization we think they're awesome people and so this has been taught for years Brian Tracy taught this everybody that I've ever seen teaches goal-setting teaches this wheel and these spokes on this wheel and what sig used to say and I love the saying he says everyone has a strength area and everybody has a weakness area and if you don't work on your weakness area at least to keep it somewhat strong basically you end up with one side of wheel flat and you have a flat tire and you drive a car at 70 miles an hour of the flat tire it's dangerous it makes a lot of noise and it's inefficient no problem and your life starts sounding like that I'm feeling like it's full of vibration it's unhealthy and the deal is you're going to do all of these or you're going to reap negative things called consequences in every one of these areas you have to do them now much like we did with the leadership idea probably you see some things on there that are you're naturally strong at and some areas that you naturally struggle with they don't come easy to you I have a friend who's really tall and thin and and running comes easy to him I run like a Chinese bulldog it's not pretty and it's this body this little Scottish body was not designed for distance running I run only so that I can eat I don't really you know some people eat to run I run so that I can eat that's it it's so physical I'm kind of medium on I I get it all I get the mental part of it I workout I do those things and I still struggle because I like those chocolate doughnuts you know it's just the reality of it so physical is kind of in the middle for me I got to tell you a financial career I for some reason I'm just well as people as always been easy for me I've always been able to make money and I've always been able to keep it but I've been always been able to make it last 12 years old at 27 yards to cut my dad said we had Junior Achievement Junior best be achieving something you got to get out there and do stuff I've always been able to make money one where even when I went broke I was making money pretty quick again after I went broke I just had a huge mess to clean up because I was stupid but I mean you can not you know I tried to out-earn my stupidity for years it didn't work so but I've always been a to make money of all the calls I take on the Dave Ramsey show it's the one that I that I have to fake I really am compassionate when people call because I've really been there when they're hurting and I really know how they feel and you go man he was just smart I like a minute ago and he suddenly flipped the switch and he's he's really gets those people yeah I really do because I really remember it I really remember being scared but there's one call I completely have to fake it and that's the guy that calls up and goes Dave I've been unemployed for two years two years that's what goes through my head what two freakin years what you know go get you one of those big leaf blower things rich people are afraid of leaves and I'll be employed in 20 minutes I mean I'd be doing something I do not get that one okay that one's just now I'm not being mean if that's you I intellectually understand but I've just I'd never struggle with that I always have been able to do something and I can't get there and so two freakin years what are you doing memorizing Oprah reruns there's got to be something out there somebody needs a dog walk somewhere you know it's got to be something something needs to be shoveled my goodness gracious I can find something to do it's amazing oh that's crazy so but anyway so you know that one part's easy for me I'll be transparent with you the one that if I don't write it down it never happens it is social and it's kind of a paradox cuz I love people like I love hanging out with y'all all week and sitting up here talking to people and you know hanging on your books or doing whatever being with you all week I little blast I get energy from that you know but these social things that Sharon gets me or you're standing around going what do you do I just shoot myself I just rather not know and if you want me to wear a tie let's forget it I only own a freakin high I got rid of them you have to wear a coat I don't even want to do that you know is it social thing what's the point social I just oh dry.if listen if I don't if I wasn't married I wouldn't even have any friends I mean all my friends would be at work because that's just that's all I I I love what I do I love the people I'll do it with and you know just standing around talking about nothing stuff really any gun it's just I don't get it I don't get it at all so but it's it's a weakness I'm not I'm not saying you're wrong if your social sharing is really social she's a little butterfly so it's wonderful but I just don't get it I and I have to write it down cuz you lie you know you tell people Church hey let's get together why you know and you live right there in church you know I mean it's like you know cuz you tell me what let's have lunch you didn't you know you knew you're one gonna happen why'd you tell them now let's never have lunch but good to see you you know I mean this right yes right yeah I asked me they said kid I have lunch with you sometimes I said no no radio show one o'clock now and I'll be willing to just I'm not mad about it I just don't eat in the kitchen before going there it's leftovers usually so it's you know I'm not social so we would write it down we actually made a list every year for the last several years of 10 to 12 people that we that we actually do want to spend time with them we actually like them especially Sharon but I their friends I like them and we write them down and we say all right this year you know at least once a month we're gonna have dinner with one of them there's 12 of them right but I always get them all done in the first quarter just so I can kind of get it over with you know it's like but at least I had a goal and at least I did something right you know and so you kind of got to do that with your physical as well you know you got to write it down you got to have a game plan grow your intellect grow your finance you know you better be intentional about your families entrepreneurs you'll lose them is you have a mistress called your business be careful she's an adulterous woman and she'll take your marriage be careful with that stuff and I hire because we love what we do and we love what we do we go whole hog and we look up it's 10 o'clock at night you didn't do dinner again no how do I get beat to the clock I can't believe it's that o'clock I'm sorry honey no you can't do that and you that occasionally if all you makes withdrawals you're what's known as in overdraft so you got to make some deposits in there you know balance this thing out and keep the run on it
