Making Goals Worth Something

15 Jan 2009 Sterling (Jeremy Frandsen) 10 Comments

In the last post I talked about why Goals are Worthless and how to actual be in the proper mindset to even set a goal.  Now, it’s time to show you how to make the goals you set useful.

First thing to say is that I don’t call them goals anymore, I call them Fulfillment Targets.

Fulfillment Targets – an objective that will further your Definite Major Purpose and/or something that will bring more fulfillment to your life.

I believe that actually making your dreams appear in reality comes down to 4 steps.  Here is the strategy to designing your Ultimate Life to date:

1. Design your Definite Major Purpose

2. Set your Fulfillment Targets

Now, I want to discuss step 3 and 4.

Step 3 is to create a system that will allow you to do the one thing that most people don’t do with the ‘goals’ they have, which is TAKE ACTION.

In the following Video I’m going to show you the system I use to make sure I have my ACTION planned, so it doesn’t just get pushed aside by other daily, pressing needs.

VIDEO:


So, now that you have the system in place to make taking action simple and easy, all that is left is TAKING ACTION!

Strategy for Designing Your Ultimate Life:

1. Design your Definite Major Purpose

2. Set your Fulfillment Targets

3. Implement the Action Plan System

4. Take Action & follow the system

So, there you go.  That is the way I make sure that my dreams become a reality.  It will take some time to set up, but now you have what you need to make sure you never waste time setting a worthless goal.

What do you think?

[...] Goals are a Waste of Time Part 2 – with video! [...]


Great and useful video, Sterling. Thanks! Just wondering… is there a reason you chose Mindomo over Mindmeister? I’ve seen you guys recommend mindmeister before, I believe.


i was about to start a post like this


Any advice on how to learn Mindomo? I tried it out and could not get it to do anything like what’s featured in the video. I’m very bummed out.


,

Mindomo is more like Mindjet, in it’s look and functionality. The ONLY reason I use mindmeister is because Jay and I can use it at the SAME time. Mindmeister is ugly and cannot do very many things, really.

Hey JD, I use it EVERYDAY. It does exactly what I showed, as I was using it to create the video!


Hi Sterling,

Great video. I noticed you use Google Calendar versus something like Outlook. Is the idea to keep everything accessible via web versus your own desktop? Just curious because it makes sense and I am considering moving to Google Calendar for the same reason.

Thanks, Mike

Yes, the goal is to have as much as possible accessible through the web so I can be location independent. I can still have all my info and run my business regardless of if I’m in Belize or Utah or home in San Diego.


I use it constantly, I just went into Mindomo and started a new map and did some basic things and it is working just fine… You might want to talk to their customer service, it might be a setting you have.


Thanks Sterling,

I’ve learned a lot from you and Jay and really appreciat it. Have a great 2010.

Mike
