We've all heard that setting goals is important. Teachers, coaches and leaders everywhere all share 'trite' but true statements about the power of goal setting.

We know that goal setting will help us. We mean to do it. But we don't.

How do we do this 'goal setting-thing' in a way that works?

Well, it helps to remember that the goal of goals is to increase energy, focus, momentum and hope around your future.

I've struggle with knowing but not doing, too. When I started my consulting business I was stressed out. I was excited about my future, but at the same time I was worried about it.

My focus and direction was all over the place. I felt confident and unsure of myself at the same time! This inner conflict and negatively impacted my energy, confidence and ability to fully enjoy the creation of my business.

There are two things that helped me settle down:

1. I finally acknowledged the stress and inner tension I was feeling. I stopped trying to hide it or ignore it. (It seemed to have less power and fade to the background when I faced it.)



2. Then I worked toward building my confidence by creating clear and specific goals. A plan. (Like many, I knew all about the importance of goal setting, I was just so busy, it took me a awhile to actually stop and do it!)

Over time, as a result of my concentration and focus, I found more motivation, more calm, more inspiration and more energy. The simple exercises, found in this complimentary goal setting workbook helped me, coach me.

Over time I found my balance. The process of working through my fears and using goal setting worksheets helped me move more confidently into the future. Free Goal Setting Worksheets Workbook, Download Here.

Here, I'll share a review of a great online book full of goal setting worksheets.

I looked at numerous programs and books to share as a resource for you. Many had goal setting worksheets, but were poorly written or too basic or were condescending or just too narrow.

Then I stumbled upon this really good resource: How to Set and Achieve A Goal: Complete Step-by-Step Tutorial.

This book it is so much more than traditional goal setting, which is why it works, and why I like it:

• The guide is comprehensive - addressing the whole person - much more than just goal setting worksheets, though there's plenty of that here too.
• This clear, thorough and yet concise, step-by-step guide is like having your own personal coach walk with you and guide you in a pragmatic and caring way - at 3% of the cost of a coach.
• The author, Arina Nikitina from Italy, helps you look at all areas of your life, pinpointing what's in and out of balance for you, with an online "wheel of life" exercise. This exercise helps clarify your #1 focus area.
• Arina emphasizes thinking about what's perfect for you. This is a perfect exercise - so important to think in terms of exactly what you want. (See my Perfect Career Worksheet section, under the Managing My Career section of this site.)
• You get 5 effective techniques for relaxation, including very effective 12 minute audio exercise for relaxation, an important part of thinking and living clear and on purpose.
• The emphasis on how we think and how to rid ourselves of negative thoughts is practical, especially where she focuses on the difference between 'artificial happy' 'looking at the facts' and 'negative thinking'.
• The goal setting steps are practical and the 9+ goal setting worksheets make sense and effectively move you along in the process.
• She uses many of the exercises I've used with clients in group settings: getting to the why, picking the most important goal and more...

  I've personally experienced how effective these goal setting exercises are because they help us calibrate, within ourselves, what we most want to accomplish. These processes help unleash the natural passion and energy within us that's required to get and keep momentum @ our goals.

• You'll get motivation techniques, management techniques, motivation quotes and a time management workbook, too. Comprehensive material.
• Please Note: The Software offer is a trial and costs additional if continued. I was not impressed with it. (It may be good, I just didn't find the offer for it compelling.)

In order to achieve any goal you have to adopt a solid way of thinking and take a conscious action toward accomplishing your dream.

Writing down the goal is not enough.

We lose steam or we pick too many goals and get overwhelmed or run out of time or our willpower dims over time.

Due to all these reasons you need a very strong motivator. Something that will pull you forward.

There's only one thing powerful enough to do that and it's a VISION.

Creating a vision is so powerful, so desirable, so compelling that it draws all your energy and motivation to it, and it is key. It has to become an obsession.

You have to feel something that a person finding an oasis in the middle of the desert would feel. Absolute excitement and complete determination. Then any goal becomes possible.

This eBook can be a key Guide for helping you build this type of excitement around your future. Review all the details about it here.

You'll get 27 proven techniques, 9 goal setting worksheets, and step-by-step success plan. Plus, the author includes additional 'freebies' that are solid.

You can trial the eBook for 7 days for a minimum fee.
