NATASCHA’S 10 COMMANDMENTS OF GOAL SETTING

NATASCHA’S 10 COMMANDMENTS OF GOAL SETTING

G (Decide to GET more out of life. What do you want to do? What do you want to be?)


O (Outline your steps) 1, 2, 3 4


A (Allow for advice but be selective on who you ask)


L (Learn your craft) you do this by – using resources available including people


S (Be specific, loose 10 lbs, a new house 4 bedrooms, a man/woman who has personality & success :-)


E (Encouragement) Apply this to yourself and have a cheering team. Find someone you trust that can offer you encouragement.


TT (Time to Think) – just think about where you are & how what you’ve done now is an accomplishment. Think about the improvements you’ve made. Every time you make a decision during the day, ask yourself this question, “Does it take me closer to, or further from my goal?” If the answer is “closer to,’ then you’ve made the right decision. If the answer is “further from,” well, you know what to do.


I (Internal Check) Assess the impact of this change.. Think of the ‘What IFs? What will happen if you achieve your goal? How will you feel if you do not? Are you willing to keep going if it takes you longer than you expected?


N (N - End date, Putting an end point on your goal gives you a clear target to work towards. (next week – 3 months, senior year) time management


G (Go for it!) – like Nike – just do it.
