Listen Later

People often ask me, “What goals do you think I should set?” but that’s a complicated question to answer without going deep with each person.

Instead, I’ll share with you the four different TYPES of goals that you can (AND SHOULD) set today! Best of all, they can be applied to any specific goal you want to tackle.

Quotes and Links from this Episode

1. Long Terms Goals, Specifically Annual Goals [03:35]

Sometimes, to set long-term, future goals, it’s best to explore your past. Try to answer these questions:

  1. What are some of your most significant accomplishments so far?
  2. Of your accomplishments, which ones made you most excited?
  3. Could you expand on those accomplishments and take them further? Could you build on them? If so, how?
  4. If that doesn’t work, try this one instead:

    “What does my life look like in 3-5 years?”

    2. Quarterly Goals and Action Goals [09:00]

    Practice breaking your annual goals down into 90-day segments.

    Only focus on 2-3 goals per quarter.

    [11:40]

    The next two goal types are based on Michael Hyatt’s Full Focus Planner, which you can learn more about here.

    3. Achievement Goals [11:50]

    Achievement goals tend to follow the S.M.A.R.T. goal framework:

    • Specific
    • Measurable
    • Action-oriented
    • Risky
    • Time-keyed
    • In my opinion, achievement Goals always work best when you have an award waiting at the end. Make it so good that you can’t wait to achieve your goal!

      4. Habit Goals [14:38]

      Break your bigger goals down into daily and weekly habits for better success and sustainability.
