One Definition of Success
“To laugh often and much; to win the respect
of intelligent people and the affection of
children; … to appreciate beauty, to find
the best in others; to leave the world a little
better; whether by a healthy child or a garden
patch … to know even one life has breathed
easier because you have lived.
This is success.” Ralph Waldo Emerson

Definition of Success #2
“Be honest and work hard to get what you want.
Don’t take shortcuts; you are only cheating
yourself in the long run.
Success is not measured by money or fame,
but by how you feel about your own goals and
accomplishments and the time and effort you
put into them.”
Willie Stargell, Baseball Hall of Fame

Why Goals Are Important?
Goal = Dream + Action Steps + Target Date
Goals provide direction, a sense of accomplishment and
help you define your growth and development.
1. Roadmap - Would you drive to Los Angeles without one?
2. Recipe – Would you make the holiday dinner without them?
Why go through life without goals?
Goals are your roadmap for a successful education and life.

Copyright Protected
Goal Setting 101
Clearly define the challenge facing you.
What issue, problem or desire
are you trying to change or achieve?
Examples of misguided challenge definitions:
Low grade in class – Teacher does not like me vs. lack of effort
on your part?
Need more money – Quitting your job vs. talking to your boss
and doing extra work.

Copyright Protected
The Four Key Questions
Establish your goals by answering these questions:
1. Define the Challenge Why do I want it?
Define the desire or challenge facing you.
2. Goal What do I want?
Write down the goal you want to achieve.
3. Action Steps How will I get it?
Your specific step-by-step action plan to reach your goal.
4. Target Dates When do I want it?
The completion date to reach your goal.

Goal Setting 101
• It is very important to write down your Goal,
Action Steps and Target Date
• Use the positive, action-oriented words –
I can and I will in your goal statement and
with your action steps
• Read your goal(s) every day
• Stretch your abilities

Copyright Protected
Stretching Your Abilities
There is a big difference
between stretching
past your “comfort zone”
and setting unrealistic goals.
___________
Start with goals that stretch your capabilities
and then
build on your successes.

Copyright Protected
Dreams vs. Goals
Goal Setting is like shooting an arrow.
You may want to hit the target, but
if you don’t take action – shooting the arrow –
you only have a dream.
The difference between a
dream and a goal is
ACTION.
