Though
being Entrepreneurs wasn’t one of our original life goals, it quickly
became one when we realized there was a void in the market for a
journal/diary that served as a goal setter which could be updated and
changed throughout your life.
We got the idea for this
book when my husband and I got married last year. One of the things we
talked about before we got married was what our goals and dreams where.
I had written on a piece of paper my 101 life goals and
Terry
wanted to do the same. After looking around at various bookstores and gift
shops we realized there weren’t any books geared for doing this. We saw
many books telling you to write down your goals; but no books actually to
write them in. That is how
this “first of its kind” book was born!
My personal experience is
after I write down one of my goals; it is always there in my subconscious
mind in my day-today life. The feeling I get when I complete one more of
my goals, is an overwhelming sense of accomplishment and personal growth
follows. I’ve been doing this since attending a personal enhancement
seminar in 1996. I had written down 101 life goals and of these I have
accomplished 40 to date.
The underlying message is
“why wait” so lets get started. Firstly, you will need to sit down and
think about all of the things that you have always wanted. Use your
imagination and let your dreams take you where they want to go. During
this process you will have to keep in mind that you will need a PURPOSE
(goal), then an ACTION STRATEGY (how to achieve this purpose), then record
your ACCOMPLISHMENT (congratulations!).
You may spend one afternoon
writing all your 101 goals and dreams, or this may take you a year or a
lifetime to complete. You may want to leave a few goals open to add in the
future. Do what works for you. By looking back on your journal of
completed lifetime achievements you will have a greater sense of
confidence in your ability to complete future achievements! Everyone has
dreams and goals throughout their life; there are no age restrictions. The
only thing that changes are the goals and dreams as you go through the
different stages in your life. Remember
this is your life; enjoy the journey!
