Right, so we have set our 10 yr goals and we have given some thought to the halfway point.....Now it gets really fun...

When setting 1 yr goals we are now getting into some detail that will fill our PAP, the power action plan, we will be getting more specific as to what we want and we are thinking now just 12 months away.

This is a similar exercise to last except that you now have to set some targets that will seem possible. I don't mean you should set your bar any lower but earning 100K by next year may not be a great goal.

Get that red pen out and write MY ONE YEAR GOALS and get your POWER categories down again

Think SMART testing as you go.

This is now a look at where you are now and where you want to be in 12 months with regards to the 10 yr plan.

Example

My previous R goal of 25K a month in 10 yrs and 15K a month in 5 years is now that I want to be earning 6K a month in 1 yr, this is quite possible. I will now be working this in a 12 month and 46 week plan. Why 46 weeks we will discuss in the PAP course.

In your 1 yr plan you need to be thinking from both ends, where are you now and up to 12 months and also how will your 1 yr plan fit into the 5 yrs. Do you see, we are trying to fit our 1 yr plan somewhere between our situation now and the 5 yr plan.

You need to be on your way but it needs to be manageable, we are eating that elephane 1 bite at a time.

You will be referring to this 1 yr plan a lot as you build your power action plan.

Ok so go through again the P,O,W,E and the R and get the goals down

SMART test always......

So you should now have 3 pages, maybe more.

A 10 yr goal list

A 5 yr goal list

A 1 yr goal list

So lets look at immediate and action planning.......

Lol yeah. We both talked about it and mine goes into the mental aspect and more on obstacles and such with your goals, then his is the goal setting. Although mine does do goal setting as well. They are a tag team event.

Excellent in every respect, Mike! There's a saying: "If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there." Thanks for providing both a path and a guiding light.

WOW, what a powerful course. This is what I have been in need of for the last year or so.

I have been jumping around all over the place and not accomplishing a blasted thing. So, I am bowing up and getting things organized and my goals laid out with weekly plans so that I can progress.

THANK YOU for this valuable course. God Bless you richly. :-) Jerry Mc

What is an A4 notebook?
What is a "coppers jotter" (A7 notebook)?

In the US most people are used to sizes - - an 8.5 inch X 10.0 inch notebook is most common.
Smaller sizes/measurements are available.

You will need a notebook about the size of a regular sheet of paper. A lined common notebook. A copper jotter is the small flip type pad, this is your daily notetaker and pad that is with you for notes and ideas

How can we run them through s SMART test if you want them to be vague and not specific? They will fail because, "be fit and healthy in 10 years" isn't specific. Yes it is achievable, but no its not measureable, and only the person can say if it is realistic or not.

So how many do they need to pass for the SMART test then?

They can SMART test a vague goal absolutely. The goal at 10 years is vague by design as life changes and SMART testing at 10 is a futile exercise. If 'be fit and healthy in 10 years" is not specific at 10 this is ok as it becomes more specific at 5 and 1 and immediate. Getting goals down in a form that can be realised is a first step. I would not 'specifically' know the house I want in 10 but I know I want one. The S in SMART can also be Simple. The course is an exercise in getting these goals down on paper, this alone is major for most people.

Skyhorse, I have amended the 10yr goal SMART test with an addendum to specificity, thank you.

Ok, I forget that sometimes. I have studied goal setting for several years now and even have taught workshops about it. So sometimes I forget that others don't do what I do. Thanks!!!
