Tom Harris is the founder/lead teacher of Life Planning Partners and works for Our Sunday Visitor as Human Resource Director. The presentation is called "Planting Seeds for Lifetime Achievement."
The desire is to learn techniques that will help us accomplish our goals. To establish goals that are big and worthy of pursuing and the steps that will allow us to get there.
John 10:10 "I've come that you may live life more abundantly."
Prov. 29:18 "Where there is no vision the people will parish."
Phil. 3:13 "Forgetting what is behind me and straining toward what is ahead."
Phil. 3:14 "I press toward the goal of the prize for the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."
Phil. 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
Why do people NOT set goals: (Brian Tracy)
- They think goals are not important
- They don't know how to set goals
- They have a fear of failure
- They have a fear of rejection
Only 3 % of people write down their goals!
Goal-Achieving Techniques:
- Proven Purpose: why are you wanting to reach this goal?
- Pray About It: is it bigger than you?
- Put it in Writing: those who do far exceed everyone else
- Research It: know what it is going to take
- Keeping it Secret: think it through before others tear it apart
- Measure It: how will you know you're making progress
- Celebrate It: recognize the completion and share it with others
- Subdivide It: make it manageable
- Visioning your Success: think about what it looks like and what it will feel like
- The Coach Connection: who is going to help you and encourage you
Family and Social Goals:
- What kind of seeds do you want to plant for your family?
- What kind of memories do you want to create today?
- What kind of areas beyond family would you like to explore ... in the community and beyond?
Career Goals:
- Are you satisfied with your current job/career?
- What can you do to become more satisfied?
- What changes can you make to enhance your career or satisfaction in your job?
Financial Goals:
- Are you satisfied with your current financial situation?
- What changes can you make to improve your financial status?
- What additional information do you need to feel in control of your finances?
- What steps can you take to reduce debt today?
Adventure Goals are those things that you want to do / feel / experience / learn in the future
Set a Bible Verse to Use for the Year!
Weekly Action Plans: it all requires movement!
Thanks Tom for helping to set the stage for goals for the upcoming year. It is a lot to think about and I for one will need more time to work out the details and be realistic in what and when goals can and should be accomplished.
