GOAL SETTING WORKSHEET PRINCE JOEL OBODE

DISCOVERING YOUr WHY? The two most important days of your life are the day you were born and the day you find out why. - Mark Twain Discovering your Why? is an essential step of progress in self-development, and is the key to unlocking your purpose. Those who discover their purpose in life become unstoppable, whilst those who lack clarity of purpose habitually find themselves stagnant in life. Unlocking your purpose allows you to focus clearly on what matters most to you. In order to achieve your goals you must realise and understand what s important to you, this is what will stimulate and inspire you to accomplish them. Knowing your purpose gives you a sense of direction and empowers you with the vision and hunger to succeed. I have picked out 10 questions to help you discover your Why?. When answering these questions be sure that this is what you want in life. Your purpose and desire may be unique so it is essential that you answer these questions honestly and by yourself. After answering these questions I hope you gain clarity on what your purpose is and what you want in life. Read through these answers frequently as the year progresses as it will play a key part in your journey of self-development. PAGE 2

SPECIFIC, MEASURABLE AND ATTAINABLE GOALS Life is short, fragile and does not wait for anyone. There will NEVER be a perfect time to pursue your dreams and goals. - Unknown Setting specific, measurable and attainable goals enables you to concentrate your effort and energy towards what matters most to you in life. With well-defined goals, there are no limits to the amount of success you can attain. The beauty in setting goals is that in order to achieve them you have to step out your comfort zone. Specific goals are direction signs that tell you where you need to turn next. They help you channel your efforts effectively and direct you to the steps necessary to reach your destination in life. Measurable goals help highlight and assess the rate at which you are progressing. They act as a measuring gauge, giving you an insight into what you ve accomplished, what you lack and how you can improve. Attainable goals are goals that are within reach and are not too difficult to achieve. Some people struggle to accomplish their goals simply because they aim too high. Not to say it s bad to be ambitious but it s important to balance ambition and realism. Make sure these goals are realistic and high enough to inspire you to grow. I have put together a table for you to write out specific, measurable and attainable goals. Make sure these goals are powerful and meaningful. They should be both long term and short term. These goals should also cover different areas of your life such as health, finances, education, relationships, business and lifestyle. PAGE 5

SPECIFIC, MEASURABLE AND ATTAINABLE GOALS If you go to work on your goals, your goals will go to work for on you. If you go to work on you plan, your plan will go to work on you. Whatever good things we build end up building us. - Jim Rohn GOAL WHY? TIME PERIOD 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 PAGE 6

PLANNING YOUR JOURNEY You were born to win, but to be a winner, you must plan to win,prepare to win, and expect to win. - Zig Ziglar So, you ve discovered your Why? and have set specific, measurable and attainable goals. Now you need to think about how you are going to achieve these goals. Goals without a plan can become daunting. It s like attempting to reach an unknown destination without a map. Not having a plan can result in you going off track and losing sight of your destination. A goal that should have taken you 6 months to achieve could end up taking more than a year simply because you didn t plan your steps. It s just like traveling to another city. If you don t plan your journey a trip of 2 hours can consequently end up taking 4 hours. Planning and preparation enables you to focus on important tasks that can direct you. On the next page, re-write your goals but this time try and write detailed steps needed take to achieve them. Devise a plan for your journey and carry out the steps for each goal until you reach them. You may not stick to the initial route along the way but some guidance is better than none at all. Take one day a week to assess your progress and make sure you re on track. Remember a goal without a plan is just a wish; you have to plan on your own success. PAGE 8
