Re: Keeping The Kinks Out Of Your Goal-Setting Plan By Josh Hinds

My big thing is making sure I've got solid "action items" included with my goals. For example, I'll have what I want to accomplish. Then the date I hope to achieve said item by. I like to include a "why statement" -- nothing to lengthy. But something that reminds me why it's worth the effort when I read it. Then I try to include real, specific action items that upon completion will move me closer towards the larger goal.

This keeps me plugged into the goal and working on it (which is what gets in the way most of the time -- other things occupy our time and the next thing we know that goal we wanted to accomplish is no where to be found). It helps to reduce the dreaded "out of sight, out of mind" that can happen as life gets busy. Also, it requires me to add new action items as old items are accomplished. The idea is that it helps to keep you plugged into the goal you've set.

I write more on the process in my book, It's Your Life, LIVE BIG -- I call it "Goal Cards... You can also just search for "Goal Cards Josh Hinds" in your favorite search engine and I'm sure it'll show you some articles where I've written more indepth on the topic.

Audrey Hepburn was a great role model in this regard and, not coincidentally, was treated famously well by the press. Kindness, tact, grace, poise, serene emotions, self-respect. Contagious qualities. She made them seem "cool" then, and still does.
Nice to see an article reminding us that "old-fashioned" values are actually timeless values! :-)

The unbundling of Eskom into the three sectors of Generation, Transmission, and Distribution is very necessary if the company is to see some efficiency.
Performance contracts can then be made to be signed by the sectors to guarantee that they perform as expected.
In the long run members of the various Unions will rather benefit.

Josh,
Do you have a goal setting format that you recommend or use? I know to write, date, sign, make obtainable, vocalize and visualize daily. But anything else I am missing?

It's hard to lose a dad who in our hearts should have stayed here a lot longer. But you learned what he wanted to teach you. He'd be proud of the man you are.

I agree. Being intentional, or striving to be at least can make all the difference. Just trying to live by choice, or chance as I say puts one ahead of their peers just because so few even keep a to do list, much less goals. Glad you enjoyed the post and thank you for sharing your thoughts on it :-)
