A goal is a dream with a deadline!


Write down Achieved  and attempted goals of last 12 months.


Now score your results 0/100


Analysis

Now look back over the last 12 months and write down what you could of done to have improved the results that you achieved.


Now the fun bit! 

GOAL STORM!!!!

Set 100 goals!


Categories 

This also helps you take an overview of your goals, balance  and main focus in life……up to this point.


Prioritise.

This part is critical. You need to be very honest and quite ruthless. You will be forced to make choices you wouldn’t normally make but this is the magic behind this task.


Prioritise all your goals in the order of which is most effective upon other goals, NOT in the order of which goal you want to achieve the most!!!!!


Top 10

Once you have all your goals honestly listed in the order of which goals are most effective upon the other goals you should have a clear top 10!


You are now going to focus only on your TOP TEN GOAL LIST!


Strategise.

Make a clear plan for each goal. Some might seem simple and you find it easy to make a plan. Some are not so simple like make 1,000,000. 


One good way to plan is to plan backwards. 

Imagine you have achieved the goal then look back and think how you got there. 


So you now have a plan for 2021!

TAKE ACTION!

Don’t stop!


There’s only two definite ways to fail. You give up or don’t start. 


Time warp! 

365 days


First look at the goals you achieved from the last 12 months.


Give yourself a big pat on the back!


Start again! 


Score your goals from 0/100


Analyse your results.

What could you of done better?


Goal Storm!

TOP TEN!

This year One of my goals Is to jump over a car in my buggy!


Another 2021 goal for me is to promote some of my other projects more. So check this out!
