<h2>A Life Style Assessment!</h2>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #ef1010;"><strong>L</strong></span>imiting yourself will only limit your lifestyle, wouldn’t you agree?</li>
<li><span style="color: #ef1010;"><strong>I</strong></span>s Stress holding you back from making lifestyle changes?</li>
<li><span style="color: #ef1010;"><strong>F</strong></span>inancial freedom is that the kind of lifestyle you want?</li>
<li><span style="color: #ef1010;"><strong>E</strong></span>veryone who wants to change their lifestyle sets goals, do you?</li>
<li><span style="color: #ef1010;"><strong>S</strong></span>o if you decide to change your lifestyle do you know how to?</li>
<li><span style="color: #ef1010;"><strong>T</strong></span>he changes in lifestyle you want are they for you and your family?</li>
<li><span style="color: #ef1010;"><strong>Y</strong></span>es we need a mentor to assist with achieving our lifestyle changes, do you have one?</li>
<li><span style="color: #ef1010;"><strong>L</strong></span>ifestyle changes come at a cost, are you willing to do what it takes to achieve?</li>
<li><span style="color: #ef1010;"><strong>E</strong></span>ven if you earn extra money can you use it wisely to make your lifestyle changes?</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://paydotcom.net/r/98870/PapyPaul/26544535/" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-58 alignleft" title="I Need A Lifestyle Change Now!" src="http://paulmara.name/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/I-need-a-change.gif" alt="" width="180" height="180" /></a>I believe that the word  <strong><em>&#8220;Lifestyle&#8221;</em></strong> is actually a generalisation. </p>
<p><strong>Why? </strong></p>
<p>Well one persons lifestyle may be great for them whereas someone else would consider it to be below par! </p>
<p>Just like beauty it is in the eye of the beholder. </p>
<p>So how do we decide as an individual what our lifestyle should be, firstly we should not see ourselves through the eyes of others but what you feel comfortable with that you can personally enjoy and share.</p>
<p><strong><em>There are many factors that come into play!</em></strong></p>
<h2>Here Are Some of the Important Ones;</h2>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #ef1010;"><strong>C</strong></span>ommitment to achieve for the right reasons</li>
<li><span style="color: #ef1010;"><strong>H</strong></span>elp, we all need some so in return we can help others</li>
<li><span style="color: #ef1010;"><strong>A</strong></span>ttitude is being able to accept the good along with the not so good</li>
<li><span style="color: #ef1010;"><strong>N</strong></span>o looking back, if you hold on to the past how can build a successful future</li>
<li><span style="color: #ef1010;"><strong>G</strong></span>etting back control of your life you need to be master of your money, not its slave</li>
<li><span style="color: #ef1010;"><strong>E</strong></span>ffort and time are your best friends when applied correctly and balanced</li>
<li><span style="color: #ef1010;"><strong>S</strong></span>etting attainable goals that can remain flexible and therefore easier to accomplish</li>
</ul>
<p>My wish is to offer assistance where possible to those of you who want to make <strong><em>&#8220;Lifestyle Changes&#8221;</em></strong> and introduce you to different ideas services and products, plus and its an important plus help you to maintain the motivation necessary to put in the time and the effort required on your road to success.</p>

<h1>First The Dream Continued</h1>
<p>A simple piece of advice, take a couple of minutes to review the last page <a href="http://paulmara.name/first-the-dream/" title="Go Back For A Couple Of Minutes and Review Your List">First The Dream</a> and see if you have covered all the different types of goals, after that you can move on.<br />
Paul Mara aka Papy Paul Mara</p>
<h2>TIME OUTS OVER</h2>
<p>Hi there how did you get on, was the “Time Out” long enough?<br />
&nbsp;<br />
NO!<br />
&nbsp;<br />
That’s fine just come back and review <a href="http://goal-setting-smart.com/paul-mara-believes-first-the-dream/" title="FIRST THE DREAM!">First The Dream</a> once you have your list.<br />
Did you get a chance to check out “<a href="http://6df07cph4cjt0xe40vqsxzp560.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=GOALSETTINGSMART" title="Become Goal Setting Smart Learn From The Professionals" target="_blank">Setting Goals Successfully</a>”?<br />
Not yet!<br />
&nbsp;<br />
That’s fine to, it is so important to get your GOALS correct so take your time but I advice you to have a look as soon as you can, you will be impressed.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Time to get back on track!</p>
<h2>LET’S GET SERIOUS!</h2>
<p>Now that you have your list, break it down into categories listed in the last post.</p>
<h2>CREATE AN OBJECTIVE!</h2>
<p>To determine how much you want these goals, write a short sentence to justify why you want each one.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
If you struggle with this then you really need to look closer at that goal, remember be flexible and either adjust it or eliminate it.</p>
<h2>I’M EXCITED!</h2>
<p>Look fantastic now! Well the next step is to give them a time factor, daily, weekly, monthly, 1 year, 3 years, 5 years and 10 years.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Remain flexible you can always change the date.<br />
<em><strong>This then becomes an objective!</strong></em></p>
<h2>ACT NOW!</h2>
<p>You must plan!<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Develop a “<strong>PLAN OF ACTION</strong>”.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Both Short-term and Long-term goals need you to start planning now, break them down into achievable steps.</p>
<h5>REMEMBER:</h5>
<p>The only way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time.</p>
<h2>PLANNING 4 PROSPERITY</h2>
<ol>
<li>Read you goals three times daily. (1st thing in the morning, lunchtime and last thing at night.)</li>
<li>Think of them often. (Place images where you will see them all the time)</li>
<li>Review your weekly “<strong>PLAN OF ACTION</strong>”. (Persistence overcomes resistance)</li>
<li>Stay “<strong>POSITIVE</strong>” by reading and listening to positive material. (The secret to your future success is hidden in your daily routine)</li>
<li>Believe that you have already achieved it. (<strong>Action – Focus – Belief</strong>)</li>
<li>Review goals fortnightly. (Be flexible, refocus improve and continually believe)</li>
<li>I f you have had success in the past use it to motivate yourself. (Experience breeds success)</li>
<li>Have faith &#8211; Faith removes limitation</li>
</ol>
<h4>REMEMBER:</h4>
<p> Your worst enemies or dream busters when it comes to goal setting and objectives are most likely to be your family or you’re so called best friends.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Only share your goals with people who will support you or happen to possibly be part of your goal (e.g. couples, husband and wife or business partners etc.) as they can affect the outcome both positively and negatively.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #ff9900;"><strong><em>GOAL SETTERS ARE WINNERS!</em></strong></span></h2>
<p>It has been proved time and again that those who actually write down their <strong>GOALS</strong> and <strong>OBJECTIVES</strong> then <strong>READ</strong> them at least <strong>THRICE</strong> daily create the <strong>SUCCESS</strong> they <strong>DESIRE</strong>.<br />
<span style="color: #ef1010;"><strong><em>SUCCESS TO YOU</em></strong></span></p>
<h5><span style="color: #ef1010;"><em>Have a fantastic <a href="http://goal-setting-smart.com/" title="Become Goal Setting Smart Learn From The Professionals" target="_blank">Goal Setting Smart</a> day and come back soon&#8230;</em></span><span style="color: #FF9900;"> Papy Paul</span></h5>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h6>Hi Folks, Paul Mara Here Again</h6>
<p> I first posted the following three articles beginning with FIRST THE DREAM on the 17th January 20011 then <a href="http://goal-setting-smart.com/paul-mara-believes-first-the-dream-continued/" title="FIRST THE DREAM (Continued)">FIRST THE DREAM contd!</a> posted the 8th of February 2011 Then I finished with <a href="http://goal-setting-smart.com/lifestyle/" title="YOUR LIFESTYLE">YOUR LIFESTYLE</a> posted the 15th of February 2011 on my personal blog <a href="http://paulmara.name/" title="One of my Personal Blogs" target="_blank">PaulMara.name</a> which I have now transferred here.<br />
I am sure you will enjoy these articles.<br />
<strong>Thank You</strong><br />
Paul Mara</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://6df07cph4cjt0xe40vqsxzp560.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=GOALSETTINGSMART" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-103" title="Goal Setting Smart First The Dream" src="http://goal-setting-smart.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Goal-Setting-Smart-Dreams.gif" alt="Goal Setting Smart First The Dream" width="468" height="60" /></a></p>
<h1>First The Dream</h1>
<p>Even though I am in my 60’s I still set goals that are fueled by my dreams and I was wondering how many people reading my posts in any of my blogs understand the importance of setting <strong>GOALS</strong> and being <strong>Goal Setting Smart</strong>.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
So what I have written is an outline for a quality product with far more precisions.<br />
Please take the time to read through this carefully take notes then purchase this exceptional product.<br />
All the best! Paul</p>
<h2>To Do The Incredible<br />
You Must <strong>FIRST DREAM</strong> the Impossible</h2>
<p>When we were children we dreamt large dreams, we knew no boundaries and the sky was the limit!<br />
<strong><em>True?</em></strong><br />
Have you ever asked yourself &#8220;<em><strong>What Happened To Those Dreams</strong></em>?&#8221;</p>
<h2>What Next</h2>
<p>Just sit down right now with a piece of paper and a pen or pencil and write down all the things you wanted as a child, most of us do remember some things, boys it was maybe a Fireman and girls maybe an Airline Hostess, whatever it was it was imprinted in your mind and you will be amazed at what you can recall.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
The same way you learnt to count and learnt the alphabet as a child we retained an unbelievable amount of knowledge and of course part of that were our dreams we had.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
So how did the list go?<br />
&nbsp;<br />
I’m sure you remembered some of those childhood dreams, if not all of them.<br />
<strong>Ok!</strong><br />
Now let’s reflect on what our goals are today for the future, if you already have some great, if not it’s time to start!<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Every person who reads this even if you have set goals already should look at the following list, just so as to get some ideas on what type of goal to put down and &#8220;Why Set a Goal&#8221;.</p>
<p>Read this list carefully and choose what you consider to be relevant to you personally.<br />
Goal setting is very personal!<br />
All your goals on your list must be tangible.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<strong>INITIALLY MAKE A LIST FROM EACH OF THE CATEGORIES:</strong></p>
<h4>PERSONAL GOALS:</h4>
<div id="attachment_175" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://paydotcom.net/r/56977/PapyPaul/26542606/" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-175 " title="Family Goal" src="http://paulmara.name/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/family-goal.gif" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Quality Family Time</p></div>
<p>Family – <em>Quality family time</em><br />
Financial – <em>Look at ways to increase your income</em><br />
Spiritual life – <em>Personal choice</em><br />
Health – <em>Healthy life style</em><br />
Marriage – <em>Time alone together</em><br />
Home – <em>Plant a vegetable garden</em><br />
Social – <em>Take your family out for dinner once a month (Not KFC)</em></p>
<h4>PROFESSIONAL GOALS:</h4>
<p>Mentor – <em>So Important To Your Success</em><br />
Learning / Education – <em>Home Study – Night Classes</em><br />
Business – <em>Begin Your Own Business</em><br />
Investments – <em>Investment Property</em><br />
Promotions – <em>Learn Techniques To Advertise Your Business</em></p>
<h4>SELF DEVELOPMENT GOALS:</h4>
<div id="attachment_177" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://paydotcom.net/r/56977/PapyPaul/26542606/" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-177 " title="Health Goal" src="http://paulmara.name/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/health-goal.gif" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Good Health is Important To Enjoying Life</p></div>
<p>Improving Quality of Life – <em>Reading Motivational Material</em><br />
Physical – <em>Exercise &#8211; Fitness</em><br />
Spiritual – <em>Personal Choice</em><br />
Intellectual – <em>Maybe Learn Another Language</em></p>
<h4>MATERIAL GOALS:</h4>
<p>Travel – <em>Family Holiday – Second Honeymoon</em><br />
Home – <em>Purchase Your Own Home</em><br />
Vehicles – <em>Family Car or People Mover</em><br />
Boats – <em>Speed Boat – Yacht</em><br />
Furniture – <em>New Lounge Suite</em><br />
Clothing – <em>New Clothes</em><br />
Jewellery &#8211; <em>A Pearl Necklace</em><br />
And anything else you want to add.</p>
<h4>TIME OUT:</h4>
<p>I believe it will be beneficial to your progress to take a break here and take the time to absorb everything you have read so far.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Read it several times with a notepad and pen in hand and take as many notes as possible!<br />
This is so important to your success!<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Look forward to sharing with you again very soon.<br />

<h2>First Quote Of The Year 2012 From Paul Mara</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-99 aligncenter" title="Quote Number 1 For 2012 From Paul Mara" src="http://papy-paul-mara.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Quote-3rd-Jan-2012.gif" alt="Quote Number 1 For 2012 From Paul Mara" width="500" height="31" /></p>

Bonne Année</p>
<p>My beautiful wife and I wish you all an especially Healthy, Prosperous and Happy 2012.</p>
<h2>Anecdote</h2>
<p>My First Christmas Present??<br />
Unfortunately 9 of my Blogs were hacked in the second week of December 2011 sadly by another low life of our online community who gets pleasure from making other peoples lives miserable.</p>
<p>Personally it’s not the first time for me, but what was upsetting was the difference between the hosting companies and their attitude.<br />
The last time I was hacked the company restored all 21 blogs and offered more security information.<br />
Not complaining just saying it is important to be careful when choosing your hosting company.</p>
<p>So what is in store for us in 2012???</p>
<p>Well I am a great follower of the Chinese Astrology and the following is what I have read about this Chinese New Year starting on the 23rd of January 2012</p>
<h2>Chinese New Year 2012 &#8211; The Year of The Dragon</h2>
<div id="attachment_40" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 210px"><img class="size-full wp-image-40" style="border: 4px solid black;" title="Black-Water-Dragon" src="http://papy-paul-mara.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Black-Water-Dragon.gif" alt="Chinese New Year 23rd January &quot;Year Of The Dragon&quot; (Black Water Dragon)" width="200" height="177" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Black Water Dragon???</p></div>
<p>I read that it is actually the Black Water Dragon, please inform me if this is incorrect, thanks!<br />
I believe the year 2012 is going to be one of the best years ever on the calendar.</p>
<p>Even though the Mayan believe that the end is nigh!<br />
<strong>Ummm?</strong><br />
I don&#8217;t make fun of what I don&#8217;t totally understand, leave well alone!<br />
Agreed?<br />
Your guess is as good as mine.</p>
<h2>Goodbye 11 &#8211; Thank Heaven</h2>
<p>Personally the last 14 months has been one of the toughest ever for our family, it has certainly been a proving ground for several members of our family including myself.<br />
It has made us a far stronger family which I believe will overcome whatever is thrown at us in the future.<br />
As the saying goes <a title="Great Song From The Past, Very Motivational" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYw1aNSfZls&amp;feature=related" target="_blank">“United We Stand Divided We Fall”</a>.</p>
<h2>Face Book Post Fun</h2>
<p>On the 31st of December 2011 I posted the following comment, surprisingly I got no feed back which is most unusual, anyway read on, then please feel free to leave a comment!</p>

<p>You have 365 days or 366 in a leap year to make resolutions.<br />

Make the &#8220;FIRST DAY&#8221; of the New Year a day to be thankful for Your Parents, Your Grandparents and your fore fathers.<br />
<strong>WHY?</strong><br />
Because without them you wouldn’t be here today.<br />
<strong>True?</strong><br />
At least a &#8220;Minutes Silence&#8221; in their memory once the festivities are over!<br />
Maybe at lunch or dinner on the &#8220;First Day&#8221; of the New Year!<br />
Post a list in 6 months of how many of &#8220;Your Resolutions&#8221; were successful, if you believe it and commit you will succeed.</p>

<h1>8 Tips For Success In Life</h1>
<p>Personal goal setting is one of the best things you can do if you truly desire to be successful in life.<br />
Sadly, only a small percentage of people actually make goals for themselves regularly.<br />
But those are the most successful people you will meet!<br />
Following are eight tips for success in life to help you use personal goal setting to achieve those things that are truly important to you.</p>
<ul>
<li>Smarter <a title="Get organized and gain focus on getting the right things done to achieve more success everyday!" href="http://6df07cph4cjt0xe40vqsxzp560.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=GOALSETTINGSMART" target="_blank">goal setting</a> means you must put your goals in writing, this will solidify them and make them very real.<br />
It also is the first step, and taking action is a key factor in reaching your goals.<br />
Writing them down also makes them more real.<br />
Unwritten goals with no game plan are really nothing more than wishes. And wishes don’t get you very far, but written goals will!</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>Prioritize goals especially when it comes to personal goal setting, it is essential that you <a title="Get organized and gain focus on getting the right things done to achieve more success everyday!" href="http://6df07cph4cjt0xe40vqsxzp560.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=GOALSETTINGSMART" target="_blank">prioritize your goals</a>.<br />
Decide which ones are the most crucial for you to achieve.<br />
Those are the ones on which you want to devote the most energy.<br />
Those that end up at the bottom of your list may not be truly important to you, and they can be addressed at a later date in time if needed.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>Write <a title="Goals On Track is a web-based tool that allows you to set goals and sub goals" href="http://6df07cph4cjt0xe40vqsxzp560.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=GOALSETTINGSMART" target="_blank">smart goals</a> down as positive statements.<br />
For example, rather than “lose 10 pounds” or “stop overeating”, you might write “reach the healthy weight of 10 pounds or 5 kilos” or “eat only until I’m satisfied”.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>Make your goals very clear and specific. With <a title="Web-based goal management and personal achievement software!" href="http://6df07cph4cjt0xe40vqsxzp560.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=GOALSETTINGSMART" target="_blank">personal goal setting</a>, if your goals are vague, you won’t likely succeed because you’re not really aiming at anything specific.<br />
An “iffy” goal is like throwing darts blind-folded (which I don’t recommend!).<br />
You might, by chance, hit the dart board but it is highly unlikely.<br />
Vague goals would be things such as “lose weight” or “make more money”.<br />
Make them more specific; for example “make $10,000 per month”.<br />
That way you can measure process and you will know exactly when you have reached your goal. (After all, “make more money” could mean that you’re earning $5 more per month, which probably isn’t what you are striving for, right?)</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>Create timelines specifically for reaching each of <a title="Get organized and gain focus on getting the right things done to achieve more success everyday!" href="http://6df07cph4cjt0xe40vqsxzp560.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=GOALSETTINGSMART" target="_blank">your goals</a>.<br />
Not having a clear time frame in mind is very similar to having vague goals; you may never reach it because you take forever getting there.<br />
Creating a timeline gives you a sense of urgency, and will help spur motivation. Urgency and motivation are two important factors in personal goal setting.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>Realistic goal setting, make sure your goals (and timelines) are realistic.<br />
For example, if you weight 250 pounds and your goal is to reach 150 pounds, you probably want to give yourself more than a month or two to reach your goal!<br />
Unrealistic goals and timelines are a quick path to failure when it comes to poor goal setting.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #00ff00;">Paul’s Perception</span></h3>
<p>Goals setting has been proved to be one of the easiest ways to accomplish or obtain whatever your heart desires.<br />
Your &#8220;Dreams&#8221; can become a reality!<br />
Dreams are the fuel you need to maintain your motivation to continue to achieve.<br />
Take the time to check out the information and make you own decision.<br />
Still not sure read the biography of someone you admire, I&#8217;m sure somewhere they will discuss their goals and or objectives in their lives.<br />
Set one &#8220;GOAL&#8221; today, make a positive change now!</p>
<h5><span style="color: #ef1010;">Yes! Goal Setting Does Make A difference! <strong><u><a href="http://6df07cph4cjt0xe40vqsxzp560.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=GOALSETTINGSMART" title="Become Goal Setting Smart Now! Find Out How Right Here..." target="_blank">Try It!</a></u></h5>

<h1>Goal Setting Success</h1>
<p>Lunch was a ball we were all buzzing and joking about different goals we each had it was a real bonding time as they say nowadays.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
As I think back I begin to realise the timing of every part of the course was perfection, real poetry in motion.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
In less than 4 hours on that morning we had become very tight knit as a class.<br />
What I didn’t tell you was we were all adults from 30 up to 50 years of age from diverse cultures.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
So it definitely was a major coup for them, but even more so for us, I thank them for that as I believe we all became more tolerant and better people for it!<br />
When we got back to class our guru was waiting we did our chant and began our trip down a new pathway for us.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
So as I mentioned we were given thirty minutes to read what we had written and then comment on every one else’s goals.</p>
<h2>Let The Fun Begin!</h2>
<p>In actual fact it was an eye opener to realise that in general everyone had similar and only slightly different goals.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Not one person made fun of anyone’s goals in fact that had nothing but positive input and some great ideas.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Everyone was hurriedly taking notes.</p>
<h2>What Are Smart Goals</h2>
<p>Our guru told us he felt that over the last three years we were the most responsive group and he traveled all over the world.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
He then asked us “What are smart goals?”<br />
We all looked at one another with curious gazes on our faces.<br />
“Well” he continued.<br />
No one said anything! Not a sound!<br />
“I thought you were a wise group of people”<br />
&nbsp;<br />
When we heard that w all started making comment and shared our ideas.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
He continued with “Well you are very close and from a certain point of view you could be correct, but I will tell you what a smart goal is ok!”</p>
<h2>Goals vs Objectives</h2>
<p>“Who knows what an objective is?”<br />
&nbsp;<br />
The average comment was “something you want to achieve” which he agreed to then asked us how it could be related to goal setting.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Being Kiwis goal setting was brand new to us and honestly we were a little out of our depth in the 70’s.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Our guru then became very interactive, “We covered goal setting and writing a statement about why we wanted that goal, so what next?” he retorted.<br />
He continued “You people need to answer this for it to be effective ok?”<br />
Still we looked at him blankly!<br />
&nbsp;<br />
“Come on! Think!”<br />
Then the youngest person said “I suppose we need to set a date?”<br />
“Very Good! He replied.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
“Ok let’s get on with it” he said quietly.<br />
“Firstly a goal is really in a broadened sense no specific, yes it is what you want, but and a big but, when and how, and therein lies the need for your goals to become objectives which are specific and measurable, that’s the difference, a radical difference which it is imperative for you to retain and enforce.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
I am sure you all understand now the difference, YES!”<br />
We all chanted together “Yes Sir! We were so all excited and enlightened.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
His next comment was that the more you write down goals and objectives the easier it will become.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Finally he finished by telling us that once you have set your goals and objectives put then to one side for al least seven days then come back to them, you will be surprised.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
I still do it today more than 30 years later!<br />
&nbsp;<br />
So that was my first and only lesson on goal setting and objectives, all those years ago and are still used today.</p>

<h1>Goal Setting Activities</h1>
<p>As I mentioned in the previous post our home work for that night was to write a list of goals based on our dreams.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
The outcome really surprised me, like I said I was a dreamer who had read a lot about the world and had already lived and worked in Tahiti and learnt the languages.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
The biggest surprise for me was some of the people doing the course had only managed to come up with a few things, whereas I had nearly 3 pages.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
We were firstly asked to read out our top 3 goals to everyone in the class.<br />
The whole class had written the same goal in the top 3 whether it was first second or third on their list.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Have a guess what it was?<br />
This may sound big headed but it wasn’t on my list.<br />
Their goal was “<strong>Make More Money</strong>.”</p>
<h2>Goal Setting Theory</h2>
<p>What I had written only differentiated slightly.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Maybe you can guess what I had written?<br />
&nbsp;<br />
I wrote “<strong>Learn techniques on how to make more money</strong>.”<br />
&nbsp;<br />
I know what you’re thinking, what’s the difference?<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Well folks I’m going to let you think about it while I continue.<br />
They really went full out on this course and they had an, I called him a goal setting guru come in.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Before passing any comments he asked us to spend 10 minutes to review our goals list and rewrite anything we thought may need changing.<br />
Where we were then asked to once again to share our top 3 goals with everyone.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<strong>Wow! </strong><br />
You could have knocked me over with a feather; every person had changed their “Make More Money” goal to something along the same lines as my goal.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
His immediate comment once everyone had finished was “Smart bunch you catch on quickly” he continued and pointed to me “So Paul why do you think they all changed that goal to something similar to yours?” my response was “I believe they realised that what they had written was what you might find on a wish list you would give to Santa”<br />
&nbsp;<br />
He laughed and said “Looks like the rest of the today is going to be real fun” he nodded his approval and then finished with “Thanks for that Paul.”<br />
The next step was very important but simple.</p>
<h2>What Are Smart Goals</h2>
<p>We were told to write one sentence on why we had set that goal, of course by this time everyone had added more goals to their lists as they began to understand the concept.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
If we couldn’t write something off the cuff then we were told you couldn’t consider it a goal that you could achieve as your belief wasn’t strong enough.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
What it did was remove random goals that maybe we all consider but weren’t really that important.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
I actually ended up removing nearly half a page off my list.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
It was time for a break so we were informed that after lunch would be a defining moment in goal setting activities.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
See you soon then you can find out what we learnt after lunch.</p>
<h3>Paul’s Perception</h3>
<p>Life is full of surprises no matter what age you are.<br />
I remember my youngest daughter when she was under 10 years of age telling me that she wanted her own business like me, she said “I don’t want to work for a pittance”<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Where did that come from?<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Well when they were very young I used to play Amway motivational tapes in the car all the time.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Of course now she is 23 years old very motivated and knows how to set goals and knows where she is going in life.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
They say you need to plant the seed, that’s fine, but the sooner you plant it the bigger and faster your &#8220;Dreams&#8221; will grow.</p>
