Some years ago I listened to the Personal Power II audio course. Not so satisfied with my life, I was fascinated by the ability to improve it. In one lesson of the course, Anthony Robbins gives tips for setting goals for yourself in various areas of your life (financial/career, personal growth, possessions, experiences), so I ended up with a list of stuff I’d like to achieve. I did the course again after some months, writing again my goals list. The I basically forgot about it. Time passed, and I found one of those lists. I was surprised to see that I was able to reach some of my (absurd) goals in the meanwhile. Those goals that I set for myself and I reached are listed below (included some from the missing list that I can recall):
Career goals
Finish my master in Computer Science
Own a company
Have a band
Play live with my band
Material things goals
Own a Macbook pro
Own a vintage Yamaha XT
Misc goals
Have a stunning girlfriend
Travel to the USA (and I did it for free!)
Appear on TV (yeah, that was silly but who cares)
Tips for setting goals for yourself
Finding out that I already reached some simple goals I set some months ago was a nice surprise. I came out with another list that I’m refining with all the goals I want to reach in my life.
If you want to set goals for yourself, I can recommend Anthony Robbins’ way:
Organize goal setting into 4 buckets:
- Personal development goals
- Career/business/economic goals
- Toys/adventure goals
- Contribution goals
The fundamental thought for every region is to conceptualize for 5 minutes to create a rundown of objectives, then take 1 moment to dole out a time allotment to every objective, and afterward pick one essential objective and compose for 2 minutes concerning why it’s so imperative to accomplish it. So you’re successfully burning through 8 minutes in every zone, so you’re burning through 32 minutes complete (4 ranges x 8 minutes.).
For every bucket you should:
- Write down your goals
- Set a timeline for each of your goals (1, 5, 10 years or so…)
- Choose your most important one-year goal and write a paragraph about it
This helped me a lot!
