"Humans work best when they have a sense of purpose. It doesn't seem to matter what it is, as long as there is one! Without a sense of purpose the Human lacks direction and meaning to life." Dr Steve Peters

Goals help us define what we desire, give us clarity about what we want to achieve and articulate a sense of purpose.

Goals are a way of making our vision and ambitions manageable and achievable.

In setting goals we state our intentions, based on the big picture of how we want our business or life to look.

Goal setting is an excellent mind management technique. Goals give us focus, determine our direction, and create the lens through which we look at business, life and it’s opportunities.

In short, goals help us manage our minds to make changes or improvements in business and life - by helping us cultivate the optimum mindset to take the actions to bring those changes into reality.

But how do we it?  How do we create goals that inspire and motivate us?

In episode 11 of the Changeability Podcast we talk about how to set goals that work.  By which we mean how to set goals you can achieve and you'll want to achieve.

Because there’s ways and means to do it – some popular, some quirky, some downright boring, some wrong (or at least we think they are) and the way we like to do it and probably a lot more besides.

We’re not claiming to have all the answers or the one method that trumps all others – but we do take a look at two different but complementary simple systems for setting goals - that you can put into practice straight away.

Plus there’s some other chitchat about how to set goals that work as well as one way that definitely doesn’t work!
