CREATE YOUR 

LIFE’S VISION STATEMENT 

• Write a short paragraph for how you want your life to be. 

Make it short and easy to commit to memory. This 

statement will be the guiding force behind your future 

choices. 

• You may want to go a step further and create a vision 

board that represents different aspects of your life. 

Post it near your work space so you see it daily. 


CREATE YOUR 

PERSONAL MISSION STATEMENT 

• Write a short paragraph describing how you plan to 

contribute to the world. Again, make this short and easy 

to remember. These activities may be a part of your 

life’s work or how you plan to volunteer in your 

community. 

• Gaining clarity on how you want to spend your time will 

help you focus on your REAL priorities throughout the 

year. 


CREATE 50 BIG 

LIFE GOALS FOR 2018 

• Create a mind map of your goals. Include goals for each area 

of your life: Spiritual, Personal Growth, Relationships, 

Business/Career, Health, Family, Money/Finances and Fun & 

Recreation. 

• Be artistic and make this fun! This map will be your path for 

success in 2018! 

• Some goals will be easier to achieve then others, but they 

need to be BIG enough to make you stretch beyond your 

accustomed to zone. 


CHOOSE YOUR TOP 5 BIG GOALS 

FROM YOUR LIST 

• Examine your list. Ask yourself these 2 questions for each goal: 

• Is this what my heart truly desires 

• Why? 

• Once you identify your top goals, ignore the rest of your list until 

these 5 goals are completed. 

• Eliminate any goals that do not resonate with your heart’s desires 

• Fully commit your time and focus to these 5 goals 


MAKE YOUR GOALS 

S.M.A.R.T. 

• Goals should be simplistically written and clearly defined. 

• Specific is the What, Why and How of your goal 

• Measurability breaks the goal into smaller chunky pieces 

• Achievability is having the knowledge, skills and abilities to 

complete the goal 

• Results focused shows an outcome once the goal is 

completed or implemented 

• Time-bound creates a timeframe for completion 


S.M.A.R.T. GOAL WORKSHEET 

State your goal: 

1. Specific: What will the goal accomplish? How and why will it be accomplished? 

2. Measureable: What 2 indicators will validate the goal was achieved? 

3. Achievable: Is it possible? Have other’s successfully done it? Do you have the 

knowledge, skills and resources to get the job done? Will achieving the goal challenge 

you and not defeat you? 

4. Results: What is the benefit of accomplishing the goal? What outcome will be gained by 

achieving the goal? 

5. Time-bound: What is the due date? What urgency exists? Is this goal isolated or are 

there other tasks that need to be completed first?

SET A NONFOOD BASED REWARD FOR 

CELEBRATING YOUR ACHIEVEMENTS 

• Rewards drive motivation 

• Choose something that you wouldn’t ordinarily spend 

money on to increase your enthusiasm and 

commitment to the goal 

• If the goal is large, choose smaller rewards for meeting 

smaller milestones to keep you on track 


UNLOCK YOUR POTENTIAL 

• Examine any fears associated with completing a goals 

• Create positive affirmations to combat those fears, repeat daily 

• Eliminate distractions 

• Create a workable strategy to cut out distractions from your 

daily routine – email, social media, noise, etc. 

• Schedule your priorities 

• Get rid of busy work 


BUILD A TEAM 

• No one ever achieved greatness on their own, it takes a 

team 

• Add people to your team who you can delegate to – hire a VA 

• Add people who complement your skills – staff your 

weaknesses 

• Add someone you can be accountable to like a coach or mentor 


CHOOSE YOUR INNER CIRCLE WISELY 

• Let’s face it, not everyone gets the entrepreneurial 

mindset or lifestyle 

• Choose to surround yourself with people who will encourage 

the pursuit of your dream 

• Choose people who have growth mindset and impact you in a 

positive way 

• Choose people who energize you rather than drain energy 

from you 


CREATE A GROWTH PLAN 

• We don’t grow without taking intentional actions 

• Create a reading plan 

• Sign up for conferences/workshops that support your goals 

• Make a list of new habits or skills to learn 

• Schedule time to think and plan 

• Make self-care a priority 


BONUS: LIVE OUT YOUR SIX 

1. Choose to embrace a positive attitude despite 

circumstances 

2. Be intentional with your words and actions 

3. Develop good thinking habits and practice daily 

4. Demonstrate gratitude for people and opportunities 

regularly 

5. Boldly live out your values and faith 

6. Invest in and strengthen personal & business relationships 


BONUS: MAP IT OUT 

• Take your top five goals and chunk them into smaller 

goals. If your goals will take you a year to complete, 

break it into 4 quarters, then from there break it down 

in to monthly, weekly and daily tasks. 

• Create a chart that lists your goals, your timelines, your 

”Why” and your rewards. 

• Give up your “to-do” list and start plugging in your 

priorities into your calendar. 


BONUS: WHAT ARE YOU 

WILLING TO SACRIFICE? 

• Pursuit of a dream takes sacrifice. What are you willing 

to give up to achieve your goals? 

• TV time? 

• Recreations time? 

• Family time? 

• Acknowledge there is a cost and determine the price 

you are willing to pay.
