The ONE Thing

209. Proven Practices for Setting Goals as a Couple


Listen Later

What were you taught about setting goals as a kid?

If we’re taught anything, we’re usually taught to set goals around New Year’s. But now, as we head into the last quarter of the year, is actually the perfect time to start considering our goals for the upcoming year.

Gary Keller and Jay Papasan show us that, if you want to have great success, you have to have a bigger view of time — and you have to understand that the actions you take today may not have results until days or months down the road. So, in this episode, Jay and Wendy Papasan are going to share how they’ve been setting goals for years and how you can apply these simple practices into your own relationship and/or business, even if the other people in your world aren’t goal setters.

If you want to join us at our Goal-Setting Retreat Nov. 9th & 10th in Austin, TX, you can learn more at the1thing.com/event. And if you can’t make it to Austin this year, we’ll help you host your own retreat with the Kick Ass Guide® to Your Couples Goal Setting Retreat and the Goal Setting Retreat Master Course.

In this episode, you will learn...

  • [8:30] What a couple’s goal-setting retreat looks like
  • [12:10] The importance of getting in alignment with your life or business partner
  • [21:45] How to enlist the support of someone who is resistant to goal setting
  • [40:20] What you can do if there is a struggle around who will lead your couple’s goal-setting retreat
