GOAL-SETTING by Elisha Mamman

Introduction

Life is about progress

We are given life to live
And we are to live progressively....

Movement and progress is a character of life
If you aren’t making progress you are having an issue with the life you have ...
All life form moves progressively Success is a major factor in all our lives
We all want to succeed in our lives
As student we want to succeed in our academics
As workers we want to succeed in our work
As parents we want to succeed with our family
As businessmen we want to succeed in business

Success is a choice
Success is key if life is going to be fun for you What is Success?

“Success is the progressively realization of a worthy ideal or goal~ earl nightingale

Meaning you cannot talk Success and not emphasis Goals
For me
“Success is the progress you are making in pursuit of your purpose ~ Elisha
So, why Goals?

Goals are major points in our journey to find fulfillment or accomplishments!

“A Goal is anything you set to achieve, attain or accomplish”
Note this!!

A goal is Anything You Set..
It is about you and you alone
It’s not about people , family or society
Goals are suppose to be
What you want to achieve
ITS ABOUT YOU .......

Can we go practical now!!!
And if you haven’t set a goal for 2018 is time for you to do that as we take a four step journey into GoalsettingLet me share why Goalsetting is important to me and how it became a passion for me 2006 Dec 31st
Working for exactly 12months at that time and was earning 35k per month ...
Born into a family of 8
Have a widowed mum and 3 younger ones about to enter polytechnic... a pastor and 2 elders sisters who are widows and an elder brother who was wayward

The only income Earner
The only source of money
My father pass 14 January 2006 before my first salary

And I am left to fend for a family of 9 with 35k That day as I prepare to cross over like most of you ... I decided for the first time in my life to decide on what I wanted to be and have in 2008-2012(5yrs)..

I planned it in my head but wrote it as a prayer and I was sure exactly what I wanted

1. Increased salary
2. Married
3. Honeymoon
4. Training abroad
5. Start building a house
6. Have a car
7. promotion
8. Grow my business
9. Save N180,000
10. Can’t remember
That 5yrs Goals from 2008 became my turning point because I didn’t know where the energy, motivation, discipline came from even when my goals wasn’t in view something inside me was pursuing it ....

By 2010 I had all my goals and more and the story took me here by practice

I have grown my net worth
I have made my home and marriage more interesting
I have built houses
I have traveled
I have made significant progress for my lifetime goal. In 2008, I got a car as a gift in January

In February I proposed to my fiancée

In March I got a raise

In April I got a promotion

In November I got married

In Nov I went for honeymoon in Dubai

In Dec I went for training abroad

In Dec I had 1 million saved

All in 2008 In 2008 bought the land 2010 bought a house where we dreamed

Bought a Jeep

Moved into the new house
I can tell you
The goals I wrote for 2013-2018

How they have been achieved

This is not because am smarter but because a life that’s designed is easy to live “You can’t live life by default and have the good things of life” Life is very interesting when you live by design

To design your life is to run your life on the basis of a plan. So many young people are gambling with their lives

“You can’t leave your life to chance and have your dream”. Do you know why you have a setting on your phone???

“The settings on your phone is simply provided for you to customize your phone so your phone reflects your choices and desires”

My question is this?

Are your lives reflecting your choices and Desires?

Do you have the thing you want or you have what offered?

Do you have what’s desired or what’s available? We all arrive the earth in our default setting most of us looking alike
But we possess a Mind and ability to be able to customize our lives so we can be filled with our wishes and desires Tonight.
GOALSETTING

I have a 4 step process I developed having observe my life and moving from point zero to where I am today....it’s a miracle of purpose not chance. The 4 D’s of Goal setting

1. Decide
2. Document

3. Design

4. Develop
 
“The greatest tragedy in life doesn’t lie in not reaching your goal, the tragedy lies in having no goal to reach ~ Benjamin Mays You cannot begin this journey with a major look at your life

You must go through the process of SELF DISCOVERY

Many of us still live to impress others by buying things we don’t need and impressing those we don’t love

If you don’t know who you are you won’t know what you want

“What you want is a reflection of who you Are” You see if you understand this point you will begin to have the things you desire not what’s available ...

“I don’t buy what’s available I buy what I desire and want “

I don’t buy cars for the second Value , I buy whatever car I desire so I can enjoy my life when I can” “Life is designed to be enjoyed not endured”

“Living is the best expression of life not money”

No 1. DECIDE

have you resolved what you want ...
Every major achievement begins with clarity
Knowing what you want and how much you want it...
“You can’t arrive at a destination that’s not defined~ EM

“You can’t shoot at a target you haven’t set~ EM

It begin with a decision and you must be so clear about what is it you want and it must be simple......

Whatever you want you must desire
To desire is to want intensely

Whatever you want must align with your believe
“What you believe you receive”

Why do you want what you want?
Is it to prove a point or to oppress a friend
You can’t be wanting things because of people

It’s about You... “You want a car in 2018”Or a house in 2018 Let’s work with those two

Or you want 1,000,000 Once you have decide a car or house is what you want or 1,000,000 Naira

You must to be next point

No.2 DOCUMENT

Write what you want down?

Writing is the first expression of believe in your goal
Your first act of Faith is to write down your goal...

So you must be specific about it

Let’s practice with a car now? Write down the car you want ? The first question is
which class?
Gclass, GL class, ML, Sclass, Eclass , Cclass, Bclass,

Which model?
C180
C230
C240
C300

Which year?
2000
2003
2008
2012
2017
G550 , GL

The next Matter is WHEN DO YOU WANT IT?
Deadline ... time of delivery “I have a Mercedes Benz C240 2012 model black on cream by December 12th 2018” What you want is specific
When you want it is clear
Is it achievable yes
Is it measurable yes If it’s money you want?

How much? When do you want it?

“I have N1,000,000 by October 12th 2018”

The amount can be measured
The time is clear You want a house?

Which type?

When?

Where?

“I have a 3bedroom duplex/bungalow in Enugu GRA, by 12th August 2018” You want a husband
You want a wife

What type?
When?

“I have a fair, slim and educated Igbo/Hausa/ Yoruba / Wife by July 12th 2018”
The importance of documenting is to establish that goal in your mind and subconscious Have you noticed When you want a participation thing so much
You begin to see it everywhere?? Document is key if you will achieve your goal

That you set a goal doesn’t mean you will reach that goal
But it guides your actions and thoughts., it motivates you in a particular direction That’s how you set your goals

It’s must be specific and clear
It must be exact if you know what you want This is How you Set it.

Design and develop is more about how to Reach it...

I was called to talk about setting it...
Thank you very much and God bless you all
