Today's episode is a bit different from our usual format. As I look ahead to the next year of our Mastermind program, it's crucial to focus on setting and achieving our life goals. To help you with this process, I've compiled a list of 21 insightful questions that will guide you in setting extraordinary, meaningful goals aligned with your values and vision. Grab a pen and paper, and get ready to do a deep dive.
Let's set the right goals for the life you truly want to lead.
Tune in, take notes, and let's get started on this transformative journey!
21 Questions:
- What is it that you really, REALLY want? Dig deep…
- What is the SPECIFIC outcome you're looking for?
- What is the PAIN for you of NOT achieving your goal?
- Is this goal in line with your life vision/overall life-plan? (Don't know - what does your gut tell you?)
- Is this goal in line with your values? (Unsure? Ask yourself what’s REALLY important to you in life - will this goal help you achieve more of that?)
- Are the goals something YOU truly want, or are they something you think you SHOULD have or SHOULD be doing?(Tip: If it is a SHOULD, it may be someone else's dream…)
- When you think about your goal does it give you a sense of deep contentment or 'rightness', happiness and/or excitement? (If so, these are good signs that it’s a healthy goal.)
- If you could have the goal RIGHT NOW – would you take it? (If not, why not? What issues are there?)
- How does this goal fit into your life/lifestyle? (Time/effort/commitments/who else might be impacted?)
- Can YOU start & maintain this goal/outcome? (ie. Do you have complete control over achieving it?)
- How will making this change affect other aspects of your life? (ie. What else might you need to deal with?)
- What's good about your CURRENT SITUATION? (ie. What's the benefit of staying right where you are?) Then ask, how can I keep those good aspects while STILL making this change?
- WHAT might you have to give up/stop doing to achieve this goal? (Essentially, what’s the price of making this change – and are you willing to pay it?)
- If there was something important around achieving this goal (to help you succeed, or that could get in the way) that you haven't mentioned yet, what would it be?
- WHO will you have to BE to achieve this goal?
- Is your goal the right size to be working on?
- Too big? Break down into smaller goals. Too small? Fit into a larger goal.
- What would be the MINIMUM/Super-Easy level of goal to achieve?
- What would be your TARGET level of goal to achieve?
- What would be your EXTRAORDINARY level of goal to achieve?
