Another big reason why people fail with their goals is because they fail to review them consistently. In this lecture you will learn why this is a major pitfall of goal setting and what Goals and Showers have in common.

Another common pitfall of goal setting is setting and chasing too many goals at once. We all have limited resources, the most critical of which is time.

In this lecture we discuss the sweet spot of how many goals you should focus on at any given time and how that might vary depending on your season of life.

Going after too many goals at once can stretch you too thin and contribute to you achieving none of them.

Another mistake that causes most people to fail to achieve their goals is setting goals that are the wrong size.

In this lecture you will learn how to set goals that are in the "sweet spot", both in size and in respect to time. You will also learn what happens if you set goals that are either too big, too small or too far out.

I know, we have all been told we should right our goals down, but does it really make a difference? That is exactly what we explore in this lecture. We look at one particular study that studied that very thing.

You will discover the three advantages that writing your goals down gives you and why not writing them down is a big goal setting pitfall.

This lecture is about the reasons behind WHY you want to achieve your goals. Most of us have access to information at our fingertips with our computers an smartphones. The "how" of achieving our goals is rarely the problem. It comes down to wanting it bad enough which is what I call your "why" you want to achieve your goals.

Not spending enough time really getting clear on why you want to achieve your goal and making it compelling is one of our goal setting pitfalls.

Many people don't set goals because they are held back by a feeling of failure. What if I don't achieve it? But that all goes away when you learn the true value of goal setting.

This lecture will show you that whether or not you actually achieve the goal takes a back seat to the real power and purpose of goal setting.

This lecture will help you uncover your values. Those emotional states you seek to experience more of, or those emotional states you seek to avoid at all costs.

This is critical to understand because it serves as two targets, one that we move towards and one that we want to avoid. It is very important that you align your goals with your values or you will sabotage yourself along the way, or accomplish the wrong goals and still not be happy.

You will learn how to identify your top five toward goals as well as your top five away values and use them as we start to create your goals.

In Step 3 we get really clear about what it is we want most in life. You will be walked through a process that will help you decide which areas of your life you are going to focus on moving forward.

In this step we are going to start writing our goals. We are going to use the S.M.A.R.T.E.R. framework to ensure that our goals are written the right way. I will walk you through exactly how to write out your goals. But don't stop here. Now that we have our goals written down, it is critical that we head to the next section so that we can actually achieve them!
