How To Set Goals

well a new year is upon us what do you think what are you gonna do this year what's your life gonna look like you know when people are doing their debt free screams and when I talk to people who have done great things with their lives whether it's weight loss or change their marriage or built a business or a ministry or become successful in an area I almost always hear from those people that they they have a really big why they have a reason for doing the thing more than just doing the thing we got out of debt so we could change our family tree we got out of debt so that we could give more they didn't get out of debt just to get money you always got to have a big reason and the big reason is called having a vision you know first year but we're always taught to dream but not to be a dreamer dreamers don't do anything we want to have big dreams but dreams then when they turn into your Hawaii they become a vision and if you stop at just having a wise just having a vision you never really accomplished anything but that should be the the gas and the engine that causes things to move forward you have to have a big why a big vision a big starts with a dream and evolve Xin to a vision and then when it actually goes to work vision when it goes to work is called a goal and here we are with a new year upon us and you need to have big dreams that lead to clear vision a big Y that leads you into doing the details to win called goal-setting I'm not talking about namby-pamby with New Year's resolutions I'm talking about real goal setting goals that work when you set goals that are gonna work they have five components to them their first and second specific and they're measurable I want to lose weight well you'll never lose weight it is measurable but you're not specific I want to lose 30 pounds oh now we're on to something now it's specific and now it's measurable the next thing you ask yourself is when do I want to lose 30 pounds and how many different times do I want to do it maybe once is enough for some people you want to lose 30 pounds over the next 30 years that's a pound a year you can probably pull that off right see as soon as you put a time limit on your goal that's measurable in specific suddenly the math starts unfolding very naturally thirty pounds over three months for instance that's reasonable that's ten pounds a month that's doing half pounds a week immediately when you do that the next thing that will unfold in your brain is what has to be true for me to do that what has to be true for me to get out of debt what has to be true for me to increase the quality of my spiritual life what has to be true to lose thirty pounds what has to be true to increase my income two hundred thousand a year what has to be true that's not true today well you would change your caloric intake you'd lower the number of calories that you're taking in and you'd increase your water intake and you'd increase your aerobic activity we know that about losing weight and you have to you have to slow down how much you eat and you have to increase how much you exercise 100 percent of the time to lose weight that works unless you get sick that's the only way to lose weight right so you had no what you have to do goals that work also need to be your goals my wife wants me to lose weight yeah you never will my mother wants me to make more money you never will my father always wanted me to be a dentist he'll be a lousy one I don't want to go to your dentistry practice it's not a good thing so they need to be your goals and lastly and most importantly specific measurable have a time limit and they're your goals most important one is they have to be in writing in writing is the only way it works the Bible says in a back kick to to write the vision and make it plain when you write it down something happens and you need goals in several different areas of your life this year you need financial goals you need intellectual goals you're gonna read or take a class you need family goals you need your goals and physical goals any goals in your career and you need social goals when you put those on a map on a graph it looks like what Zig Ziglar used to call the Wheel of Life and you need to set goals in every one of those areas you can take control of these areas of your life you just have to make different decisions you have to have a good reason and then you have to follow the rules of goal-setting for instance you can take control of your money Winston Churchill said that mighty oaks start with small acres and the acorns mmm
