Alright then, so we have our 10 yr goals and thats great. So now as they say we are going to eat the elephant one bite at a time. (no elephants were harmed in the making of this course)

So, making 5 yr goals is now getting to be a bit more specific, a bit more personal and a bit more of a thinking exercise. Please remember though that 10 years is a long time and that's 120 months or about 500 weeks or times that we will evaluate and adjust the rudder, so keep it fun and approximate.

In setting 5 yr goals we agin want to start with the red pen and write MY 5 YEAR GOALS on another page and begin with the P,O,W,E and R as before, only this time we now to to think where we want to be midpoint between now and 10 yrs. This is where we now use our brains and have a bit of fun.

Example

One of my R goals is to earning 25K a month through all my ventures in 10 years, so at 60 my passive income will be 300K a year. I feel this is doable.

So my 5 yr goal is to earn 15K a month based on my ventures, Books, WA and web, courses, speaking,

Dont just automatically be halving your goals but think a little how you will be looking at 5 years.

Example

One of my R goals is to have a condo in Colorado in 10 yrs so we can visit my daughters who will be moving home in a few years.

My 5 yr goal is to be at a point where I can begin researching this goal.

This goal then will not be figured in my 1 yr plan. At 5 yrs and the following months it will be more specific though than just 'research a condo in Colorado'

Do you see how this works....

Dont forget again..

Once you have finished you need to just run each goal through a SMART test.

Is your goal Simple, Measurable, Achievable, Reasonable and Time-bound.

Go over each of your 10 yr goals and split it down into where you will be at 5 yrs, this is fun stuff. Can you see your dream coming alive, if you can't then please contact me for help at britman33@aol.com.

You need to be on board at this point or the rest of the course is pointless.

Congrats again if you have, are you feeling good, better about life........

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!!!
