TO GOAL OR NOT TO GOAL IS NO LONGER THE QUESTION!

TO GOAL OR NOT TO GOAL IS NO LONGER THE QUESTION!
I left home at the age of 15, and as you can imagine I encountered trials and tribulations. The
things that turned my life around were, recognizing my fears, my God given gifts, learning how
to pray, set actionable goals, and having accountability. It took a while, but I finally got it right.
My mother introduced me to goal setting in 1982, I have since studied all the greats and added
my own secret sauce to make an achievement guaranteed recipe when followed to the tee. I
used it to become Chief Master Sergeant in the Air Force, a position that less than 1% of
women make and then a successful photography business, and now a speaking and coaching
business that will reach billions of people.
In the 50’s Harvard and Yale Universities both did studies on goal setting that have been
disputed. However, another study by Harvard MBA in 1979 that had the exact outcome as the
ones conducted in 1953 that were couldn’t be verified.
The study showed:  84% of students don’t set goals at all  13% had goals with no plans  3% had goals and plans
This study reviewed student’s accomplishments ten years later. And what do you know, the
13% that had goals had more money (made or paid) than those 84% with no goals.
The best part is the 3% with both written goals and plans were making ten times more than the
13% with written goals and no plans. (however, this information wasn’t verifiable).
Years apart several studies came up with the same information. Which leads me to believe the
first studies were true as well. Books like “Think and Grow Rich,” by Napoleon Hill that
interviewed many millionaires also attest to the fact that successful people set goals.
I needed to do a little more in setting goals to be successful. In any recipe the first thing to do is
get out the mixing bowl and ready your utensils. Getting ready is the same for goal setting. To
get ready you have to examine yourself and recognize your gift or purpose. Then you must
discover your fears, self-sabotaging habits and replace them with faith. Faith is built with words
of affirmation and belief in God’s promises.

We all have some kind of fear whether we recognize and admit it or not. A lot of times we know
what the fear is but will not admit that we know. Being in denial of our fears keeps us from
making progress. Some of us in the middle of a business can’t seem to make any progress, we
are stuck. It is only when we are sick and tired, of being sick and tired and truly ready for
change will we face our fears.
That is the first step in goal setting. That is the first thing you have to do to be successful in goal
setting and put yourself in the 3% that make ten times as much as those that don’t have all the
goal setting ingredients. I am putting together a workshop and webinar to coach goal setting
techniques and personal development. So, stay tuned.
The Masterful Purpose Goal and Daily Action Planner is available on Lulu Publishing and the
Guide will soon be available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Lulu. These are tools I created
to help me goal set and they may help you as well. So, check the out.
I am giving away the guide to the first 100 that want it, you just need to pay tax and shipping. I
want to make sure you are living your Masterful Purpose!
