#87 - Since it is a brand new year I am going to talk about goal setting today.

Many see the new year as a blank slate. A time to set new goals and actually put some effort into making those goals a reality.

And since motivation is usually at a high at this time of year, let’s use that momentum to really make those resolutions stick.

I have been making a Goals List every year for the last 7 years. 

Before I started doing it, I just accepted whatever.  It has been a good life, but at that time I didn’t know I had a say in how things turned out or that it could be better.

So when I decided to give this goal-setting a try, I was shocked at how possible my goals were. 

I was also shocked when I realized I hadn’t been very deliberate about what I wanted in the past. 

It was like going to a restaurant and saying, “I would like some food please”. You’ll just get a blank stare, or whatever. 

You have to say what you want. 

The good news is that it is just a formula and it is a mindset thing.

And right now is a perfect time to start honing that mindset thing!

So, I am going to teach you how to go about setting your goals list.

You can use this technique for any timeframe. You can make a list of goals you want to accomplish this year, as I have done, or just one goal you want to achieve this month. 

You can make it as broad and general or as short and super-specific as you would like. The technique is the same. 

In order to reach your goals, follow this framework. It is an easy formula and you probably do most of the steps at some point, just not in an organized fashion. 

So let’s get deliberate and focused. 

Here are 7 things that I do to reach my goals every year.
