Joy of Goals.com™

We have all taken some course or workshop that gave us the acronym “SMART” for goal setting -meaning that all goals should be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely.  This has apparently worked for many goal-setting gurus.  I would like to add some other descriptors to goal setting and those words would be:  JOY…FUN….DREAM. 

The reason why so many people do NOT set goals is because it is not fun or it is draining.   According to SMART, they have to be realistic.  I would agree, but I also think that we need to dream in order to truly push ourselves.  Too much of the time, we are safe with our intentions - why not be bold with your intentions?  Why not push yourself.  Why not set 3 different levels of goals. 

Why not have 101 goals - goals that could be achieved in the next year along with some lifetime goals - who knows, sometimes just writing it down, makes it become a reality.  We can “dream” about making a $1M in our lifetime, but once we write it down, it commits us - it may not have to be this year or next, but why not have making a million dollars a goal?

If you are ready to set some goals for 2010 and would like to have fun doing it, I would strongly encourage you to come to the Joy of Goals Workshop series on December 2/9/16 in St. Louis at The Soul Esteem Center.  Hope to see you there!

“I had just left my job as a television news producer. I stood up at the 2007 Joy of Goals and told the room I would have a new career this year, and I would become a mother. Today, October 22nd, I am the owner of Legacies to Remember. My business produces video legacies. People tell their life stories on video and we illustrate those stories with music, pictures and video. More importantly, I am expecting my first child in five weeks.

There are 3 main things I took from this seminar. Say your goals out loud because they are more likely to happen. Network with as many people as you can to help make your dreams and goals come true. And finally, never miss a ‘Joy of Goals”’seminar. It was inspiring, thought provoking and a great kick in the butt to get out there and conquer the world!!!
