How to Create Powerful Passionate Goals That Excite and Motivate You
By Carol Dodsley
So how can you make your goals passionate, exciting and achievable? The biggest mistake that people make when setting goals is forgetting to check in with their emotions to see what the goals mean to them and make sure that they are filling the right emotional needs.
If your goals do not excite you, do not fill your emotional needs or fill you with a passion it is very likely that you will not follow through and make them happen.
When you set your goals are they your own goals or goals that you have been given to achieve? If they are your own goals make sure they are goals that mean something to you and that you really want and are excited about. Are they goals other people expect you to achieve? if so then so be it, sometimes we do have to do things we are not so sure we want to do, but no matter whether your goals are set by you or are ones you have been asked to achieve, do you want to achieve them? do they resonate with you and make you feel excited? do you believe in the goals and want to make them happen? If the answer is no to any of these questions you are setting yourself up to fail.
If you want to achieve every goal you set then you have to believe in it, you have to make it exciting to you, you have to know why you have the goal and what benefits achieving it will give you, if you don't do this you will be fighting yourself every inch of the way and making life hard when you could simply change an aspect of your goal to fit it to your own values and beliefs and make it exciting to you. Then you will be ready to do everything in your power to achieve it because you want to achieve it, you feel passionate about achieving it and excited.
Always write your goals down, and make sure that you give them detail, once you have written them down take a step back and look at them and ask yourself
1. How will I feel when I achieve this goal? - if you can answer with positive excited feelings about achieving your goal, if you know you will feel great, happy, significant, excited when you achieve the goal then it is a good goal and you will achieve it.
2. How will I feel if I don't achieve this goal? -if you answer disappointed, unhappy, sad, to this question, again you know that you have a good goal something you want to achieve, because not achieving it will make you feel bad. If you answer with words like not bothered, it doesn't matter, its not that important, then there is something wrong with your goal and you don't really want to achieve it so you need to look at it again. If you don't need to achieve it, choose another goal that will give you positive feelings and excitement, if you do still have to achieve the goal irrespective of whether you want to or not, then look for and find ways of making it more exciting and fun for you, perhaps you can look at the end result instead of the goal, perhaps you can find fun ways of taking the steps to achieve the goal, perhaps there are new things you can learn from this goal and that will give you other opportunities that do make you feel excited?
Always find the positive, the fun and excitement of achieving a goal before you start to take the steps towards achieving it, change goals that don't excite you or change the process and end results and find the excitement before you start turning your journey into a slog.
Every goal is your goal whether you choose it or someone chooses (ie: your boss) it for you and you can make every goal exciting and fun - you alone choose the outcomes of your goals and you alone can make them fun or hard work.
If you want to create your dream life and create your dream goals that are filled with passion, excitement and fun, both when you achieve them and also all the way to achieving them and you want to remove blockages, fears, worries along the way (which we all have from time to time)why not attend a life changing inspirational life design workshop with choose changes or partner with us and we will help you to create your dream life.

Your 12-Month Success Plan
By Ryan Eliason
In a moment I am going to invite you to map out the next 12 months of your life and business. This is one of the most important and powerful things you can do to increase profit and enjoy a life that you love - one that is balanced and that honors both business and personal needs. We will be planning time for "free days", "work days", and "working on your business - or strategy days".
Michael Gerber introduced a very important time management concept in his popular book, "The E-Myth Revisited - Why Most Small Businesses Don't Work and What To Do About It". Mr. Gerber explained the importance of "working on your business" versus "working in your business".
One of my strengths as a coach is supporting people who get so caught up in the day-to-day that they fail to be strategic and effective enough in developing their business or life to its true potential. There is a key distinction between working "in" your business and working "on" your business. Working "in" your business or "in" your life is what most people do most of the time: returning phone calls and e-mails, making sales calls, taking out the trash, feeding the cat, etc.
Working "on" your business or "on" your life are those things like working with a coach, creating a 5-year strategic plan, systematically evaluating your current strategies, setting goals for the day or the week, participating in a workshop, reading a book that increases your knowledge in a useful area, etc. Planning your 12-month calendar is a "working on" your business and life activity. These types of activities are usually not urgent, but are very important. In fact, these activities are usually the most important factors of success. They are too often neglected because the urgent (and often not important) activities dominate our schedules. Spending more time working "on" your business and "on" your life will increase your overall effectiveness dramatically.
PLAN YOUR 12 MONTH CALENDAR
Step 1 - Schedule a block of time to plan the next 12 months. This project will take at least a couple of hours, not counting the errand to pick up supplies.
Step 2 - Go down to Office Max, Staples, or your local office supply store and pick up a 12 month "at a glance" calendar. Mine is 16" x 12", which seems to be a good size. You may need to purchase two - one for the rest of 2009 and one for 2010. If you get the dry erase type of calendar, then also pick up at least 3 colors of dry erase markers. If you get a regular paper calendar, then pick up some little sticky circles (dots) of at least 3 colors.
Step 3 - Decide how long you want your weekends to be, and what days of the week you will take as your "Free Days". Personally, I take 3-day weekends (Friday through Sunday). You might prefer to take 2-day weekends, or 3-day weekends (Saturday through Monday). It's up to you. What do you want?
____________
Step 4 - Decide how many vacations you would like to take and for how long. Personally, I am taking 14 weeks vacation during the next 12 months. What would you like to take? ____________
Step 5 - Decide how many "Strategy Days" per month you would like to be working on your business vs. in your business. I recommend at least 4 days per month, or 1 day per week. Your Goal ___________
Step 6 - Choose a color for each of the following categories:
1. "Free Day" = vacation day, weekend, personal day, family day, goof-off day, get personal stuff done day, etc. Color: _______
2. "Business Day" = working in your business day, seeing clients, the day-to-day of running your business. Color: ________
3. "Strategy Day" = working on your business day, these are days for doing all the important but not urgent things like planning, strategizing, marketing, personal and professional development, "sharpening the saw", etc. Color: _______
4. You might have an additional category that is unique to your business and life. Color: _______
Step 7 - First, go through and put in the "Free Days" by marking those days with the color you have chosen for this purpose. Most people do this in the opposite order: first they put in their work days, then they try to fit in everything else with what's left over. You are going to reverse this process. First, put in your "Free Days", then put in your "Strategy Days", then put in your "Business Days". Again, do it in this order - 1) Free Days; 2) Strategy Days; 3) Business Days.
Step 8 - Once you have mapped out your year and you feel satisfied with your plan, I invite you to make the following three commitments:
1. Commit to fulfilling your "Free Days" with satisfying personal activities.
2. Commit to working your your business during "Strategic Days" to increase your profitability.
3. Commit to making your business successful within the time frame that you have allotted for working.
WORKING HOURS
The one piece we have left out is what your "start" and "stop" time will be for your "Strategy" and "Working" days.
Step 1 - What would you like your working yours to be? Write down your intended "Start" and "Stop" times here:
1. Start: _________
2. Stop: _________
Step 2 - What would you need to take care of in order to consistently follow through on your intended start and stop times?
Step 3 - Now, I invite you to make a commitment to yourself to start and stop on the schedule you have created for yourself.
Enjoy our 12-month planning process. It can be fun.
