Dialed in For Success, Episode 2: The Secret Life of Goals

You have to follow your calling. Don’t let fear stop you.

Review of last week’s Podcast

  1. I used to hate goal setting because the way it was taught to me was boring and I heard it again and again.  
  2. Standard Corpoarte Goal Setting:
    1. S.M.A.R.T. Goals
    2. Specific, Measurable, Attainable/Achievable, Realistic, Timebound
    3. The Law of Familiarity: Anything you are exposed to repeatedly, you tend to take for granted.

This Week’s Podcast

  1. Seth Godin interview really opened my eyes to goal setting secrets.
    1. Goals are a tool for keeping an agreement with yourself. They’re like a lever. They pry you into action. You don’t want to break a promise with yourself. It’s easier to achieve the goal than break the promise to yourself.
    2. The reason people don’t set goals is that once they write down the goal, they have to take responsibility for their lives and that scares them to death.
      1. Tracy Trost of  the Successful Life Mindset podcast calls it pre-quitting. “I’m going to fail so why try?”
      2. When you set your goals, the critics will come out. They have a vested interest in you NOT CHANGING
      3. Achieving goals has a snowball effect. Start small and use each victory as a steping stone to the next one.
