2. Set a schedule with back up plan for any emergency
3. Use purposeful intent and emotional resiliency to keep yourself on track

7. 1. FIND AND
CLARIFY YOUR
"BEST" GOAL FOR
THE YEAR

8. “MAKE A MIGHTY EFFORT
AND CHOOSE FOR
YOURSELF A NOBLE GOAL”
• What goal will keep you
inspired when things get rough?
• Who do you know who has
already achieved that goal?
• What kinds of things do they
do?
• Pick one.
• Copy it.

9. NOBLE GOAL EXAMPLE
• Writing a book will keep me
inspired
• My sister-in-law has written three
books
• She rises at 5:00 a.m. and writes
every morning for an hour before
work
• I could do that
• I will start with three mornings a
week

10. WHAT NOBLE
GOAL DO YOU
WANT TO ACHIEVE
THIS YEAR?
YOUR
TURN!

11. WHAT EFFORT
WOULD GET YOU
STARTED?
YOUR
TURN!

12. 2. SET A SCHEDULE
WITH BACK UP
PLAN FOR ANY
EMERGENCY

13. SCHEDULE WITH THESE POINTS IN MIND
❑ Focus on identity not outcomes
❑ Count the wins not the misses
❑ Remember that done is better than perfect
This is what I mean…

14. IDENTITY
WHO WILL
YOU BE AS A
RESULY?

15. GROW
COUNT THE
WINS NOT THE
MISSES

16. ACT
DONE IS
BETTER THAN
PERFECT

17. SCHEDULE, SCHEDULE, SCHEDULE!
WHAT GETS
SCHEDULED GETS
DONE
WHAT GETS
WRITTEN DOWN
BECOMES REAL
WHAT YOU TELL
SOMEONE YOU WILL
DO, YOU ARE LIKELY
TO ACCOMPLISH
WHAT YOU MAKE
PUBLIC YOU STAY
ACCOUNTABLE TO

18. HOW WILL YOU
SCHEDULE A
REGULAR ACTION
FOR REACHING
YOUR NOBLE
GOAL?
YOUR
TURN!

19. WHAT COULD GO
WRONG?
HOW WILL YOU
GET BACK ON
TRACK?
YOUR
TURN!

20. USE A PLANNER TO HELP!

21. 3. USE PURPOSEFUL
INTENT AND
EMOTIONAL
RESILIENCY TO KEEP
YOURSELF ON
TRACK

22. INCREASE PURPOSE:
USE GATEWAY POINTS TO TRIGGER INTENT
Exercise more? Put your runners next to your bedExercise
Eat healthy snacks? Paste a picture of an apple on the fridgeEat
Play the guitar? Keep your guitar in front of the TVLearn
Stay off your phone? Put your phone in a drawer in another roomScreen time

23. EMOTIONAL
RESILIENCE
BUILDS
WHEN YOU
TELL
YOURSELF
THE RIGHT
STORY
What do people
who play the
guitar well do?
Practice regularly.
I am the type of
person who
practices the
guitar regularly.
I practice 15
minutes a day
before I go to
bed.
This week I
achieved my goal
three times.
I am aiming to
achieve it three
times again next
week.
My guitar playing
is improving daily!
Missed a day? I
will try again
tomorrow
Missed a week? I
will start again
Sunday

24. IF I MISSED
MY GOAL IT
IS BECAUSE IT
IS NOT EASY
TO START A
NEW HABIT –
Try again
Until it becomes
More regular with
Small, consistent actions
Many steps taken amount to great
distance travelled!

25. THIS IS THE KEY
Commit to the
process
Practice
patience

26. WHAT SMALL
CONSISTENT
ACTION CAN YOU
EASILY REPEAT?
YOUR
TURN!

27. LET’S RECAP!
Choose a noble goal and be prepared to put in effort to reach it
Copy someone who has already reached that goal – just one of the regular
actions
Schedule the time and provide yourself with a gateway trigger
Tell yourself the new story! Keep repeating it!
Any misses don’t matter, keep counting the wins and restart if you fall off track
Be patient with yourself and trust the process
Commitment doesn’t mean perfection, it means consistent small steps over time
