What is Goal Setting and Dream Setting?

Goal Setting is something we all do. Whether it is get that job, promotion, date that person, or catch a fly bare handed. They are all goals, no matter how big or small.

Dream setting is dreaming about something that is far enough from you that you may not believe it yet, but you know that it may be possible.

What we need to do is combine the two. Essentially Goals need to be Dreams With Deadlines.

When you think of dreams they are typically extravagant, luxury, and fun. You don’t have dreams to be a bum or homeless. You want to be a millionaire and make your life successful. So when you think of your dreams don’t limit yourself.

The Steps to Dream Setting and Goal Setting

Lets start with dream setting. I want you to think of something that you REALLY want and desire. Something that you can say that is a true hearts desire. What that means is you are willing to do what it takes as long as it takes to achieve it. I don’t care how far out your dream setting may be to you. DO IT!

Now that you have your dream in mind, write it down. ON PAPER. Ill give you a minute……

………..

……………………

Ok, I know you wrote it down, because you are a leader and are setting an example for your life, family or kids. Lets Continue.

Once you have your dream written down on paper we are going to transition into goal setting. Some of you may already know, if you pay attention, that goals are dreams with deadlines. SO we are going to make a deadline for when you want to achieve your goal. It isn’t enough to just set a deadline, we have to envision ourselves living our goal out.

So Lets say 90 days from today. Whatever the day is. 90 from NOW. That will be our deadline.

It doesn’t matter if you think it is PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE to get it done in 90 days. I want you to follow through with this. Remember impossible stands for I’m Possible.

Write your goal out in present tense as if you are living it. Ill give you an example of mine.

I, Corey Otten, am sitting at my desk in my home office in Tucson, AZ, The Date is November 1, 2013 and I just logged in to the members area of my affiliate marketing account. I am looking at my affiliate earnings from October 1 to October 31 2013 and I see the total earnings at the bottom of the page. I breath in slowly, smile, and think to myself that this was incredibly easy to do. I feel the sun through my window and it feels like a breath of fresh air has just been put into my body. I look out the window and see my brand new car I paid for with cash to reward myself. I sit in it and can feel the leather, smell the new car smell, and feel the power of the engine. I believe now anything is possible

Every time I read this I get chills down my spine. You see, I come from a lower middle class family where money is always tight and you can’t do the things you want to all the time. I’ve been dead broke and not knowing how or where I will eat that night, but I made it through. Every time I read my goal I feel like it is more possible now than it was yesterday. Dream setting and Goal Setting are POWERFUL things we can do to mold our lives the way we want them molded. By writing your dream setting down and starting the goal setting process, you set yourself apart from 97% of the rest of the world. I congratulate you.

Read your goals EVERY DAY. Sometime 2-3 times a day. The reason you do this is you don’t want to lose sight of where you are at and where you want to go. You want your goals to move you forward ever when you may not feel you can.

Achieve Through Goal Setting and Dream Setting

It is absolutely necessary to go through the goal setting and dream setting process.

Don’t let your goal discourage you. Let it drive you. Move you forward. This reminds me of the famous quote. “Shoot for the moon, if you miss you’ll land among the stars”. Let that drive you to know that it is possible.

Even if you miss it by a mile, you are still on the right path to achieving your goals, whether it be financially, spiritually, or family. Something that has helped me achieve financial goals is the Empower Network. It is allowing me to write this blog right now and share it with you. I get paid to write awesome stuff that I love.
