GOAL SETTING: HOW TO ACHIEVE MORE IN 90 DAYS THAN MOST PEOPLE DO IN A YEAR
The new year brings opportunity for a fresh start. To set new goals, to create a new you, to become the hero in your own movie and start living life on your own terms. It’s an opportunity to begin the journey into a place in our lives that we’ve never been before. For many, this beginning is also a pivotal period to lay the foundation for what the rest of the year will look like.
In the bestselling book, 7 Unstoppable Starting Powers, I discussed the effectiveness of the Principle of The First Advantage and how you can leverage the opportunities that comes with new beginnings. It’s a powerful tool that can be used by anyone to intentionally create bold, daring, and pleasurable experiences that become anchored in your mind, as well as that of key people in your life; especially those whom you have leadership responsibility over — family, career, business, etc.
As you create these ‘first’ experiences, you automatically create a frame of reference, and powerful anchors for subsequent experiences throughout the months and years ahead. For example, what you do on your first day in the new year, your first week, first month, first quarter, first day in office, first communications to your family, first email to your team, and so on. The Principle of the First Advantage helps you to recognize golden moments that can be leveraged to generate momentum and alter the trajectory of any area of life.
A study conducted by the British researchers, Gillian Cohen and Dorothy Faulkner found that 73 percent of vivid memories were either first-time experiences or unique events in our lives. In other words, we tend to remember events from the beginning of a phase of life rather than in later days or years.
Goal setting exercises done during transition periods, such as the beginning of a new year, offer incredible opportunity to leverage this principle to create and re-create the future.
There are many reasons people don’t set goals. And for many who do, they do it with little knowledge of how to set goals that are compelling enough to inspire and motivate them to keep going; even during the most challenging period of the year..
But setting goals doesn’t have to be tedious. With the appropriate guide and accountability systems, you will be able to craft meaningful goals, stay fired up, and execute relentlessly with a high chance of achieving those goals. This is why I created the Goal Setting Workbook that utilizes powerful tools for creating audacious goals in 7 key areas of life. It also includes the steps to translate those goals into reality. With this guide, you will achieve results faster than most people ever do in years.
