Now let me give you a little simple formula for gold say okay we take two two-and-a-half hours on the weekend for the whole 10-year plan we don't have time for that tonight but let me get you started with a little simple formula mr. chef gave me and maybe this will be helpful first of all I've divided goals into two parts first is long-range long-range goals that's your dreams your dreams for the next 3 5 10 20 30 40 years actually the rest of your life your dreams you've got to keep dreaming ronald reagan president said to the joint session of Congress a few weeks ago the Republic is a dream and if we don't keep dreaming we will lose the Republic you're better future is a dream for yourself and for your family what do you want to go what do you want to do what do you want to be what do you want to see you've got the dream Dreams there's a Bible phrase that says without dreams and visions people perish you've got to have something to go for that inspires the heart and the soul dreams from the children of sanchez it says take the crumbs from starving soldiers they won't die take the bread from hungry children they will cry but without dreams we all will die You've got to dream don't lose your dreams for yourself for your future for your family the dreams of love and enterprise and travel and doing things becoming something unique on your journey here don't lose your dreams do some dreaming that's a long-range goals you've got to have those so that's number one here's the second part of goals short-range short range goals that's your goals for tomorrow this week this month this year the immediate future we call these confidence builders because if you set up something short range go for it get it lasts latch on to it work hard to accomplish it that starts building your strong feelings to go for your dreams Now I've divided goals into three categories here they are number one is economic that's your goals for money income business profits production economics make sure you've got your economics well-planned economics plays a major role in everybody's life economics is major which means that ought to be meticulously well planned for tomorrow this week this month this year long range what if you ask somebody tomorrow if you could see their meticulously well-planned list of economic goals what they'd probably say it's a you some kind of a nut you must be weird hey I found out what success is success is doing what the failures won't do make sure you've got your economics well-planned it'll put you in the top 5% one of the key little subjects we talked about on the weekend is the seven fundamentals for wealth and happiness and that's one of them well-planned economics it's a fundamental if you want to do well join the top 5% anybody in this room can join the top 5% if you will get now Here's the second category of goals things make a list of the things you want and on my list of things now I put everything little things as well as major things doesn't matter how small it is it goes on the list I used to just put major things cars homes I don't do that anymore I now load my list with everything everything and the reason is part of the fun of having a list is checking it off that's it . At the end of the day if you can go got it got it got it got it got it got it whatever it is right you get into the habit so load up your list the things you want now when you check off something major celebrate that's an important point to make celebrate your achievements live it up have a party when you read something you've worked for for a while see we all grow from two experiences one is called the pain of losing the other one is called the joy of winning we need both of them amplifying as much as you can which also means make losing pain full if you set up something fooled around didn't get it put it on yourself on the other side if you did get it congratulate yourself self-congratulations is a sign of maturity seeking congratulations is a sign of immaturity but hey winning and losing see that's what it's all about that's the name of the game now some people lead such mediocre lives at the end of the day they don't know whether they're winning or losing they got no clue guys just going through the day with his fingers crossed there's a better way ok Here's the third category of goals personal development but those goals together personal development goals that's your goal is to be stronger more decisive be a speaker be a leader learn a language all kinds of skills ok the whole weekend seminar was designed to improve all your skills so that you walk away more skillful and that's what you want the personal development skills that's what attracts that's what brings good things to your life the person you become more skillful now this is quite a package to work on economics things personal development for tomorrow this week this month this year long range okay that will get you started now here's the simple formula for setting goals it goes like this a work on your goals that step 1 work on them and i put the word work there deliberately setting goals is playing hard work I don't want the kids you haven't come here tonight to kitty chip it's work i know it's work that's why a lot of people just let it slide its work many people work hard on their job but they don't work hard on their future they just let that slide and the work involved is making plans i know most people don't I understand that but don't let that be you guys as well yeah you work where I work with the time you struggle home it's late you got to buy stuff watch a little TV get to bed you can set up half the night plan plan plan and the guys be good worker hard workers sincere but you've got to be better than sincere working hard you've got to be better than a good worker you got to be a good planner somebody once wisely said the people who fail to plan our planning to fail well set so work on your goals here step to write your goals down that's so important I teach my staff around the world put your goals in your journal because one of the major people you want to study is yourself so here's the list of goals i put together three weeks ago here's the list of goals i put together two years ago here's some of the changes I made rearrangement of my priorities i scratch these off I put these on I've gotten these study your accomplishment study what your desires are put them on paper writing down here's another reason for writing your goals down it shows you're serious about doing better and to do better you gotta get serious you don't have to be grim but you must be serious everybody hopes things will get better everybody hopes poor people hope that ought to tell you something it means the future does not get better by hope it gets better by plan i used to have the affliction called passive hope it's an affliction it's bad probably what's even worse than that is happy hope now that is really bad that's bad happy hope the guys 50 and he's broke and he still smile see that's not good so get serious about your goals put them on paper writing down there's all kinds his goals her goals their goals business goals financial goals financial independence goals family goals I mean there's so many things to work on this that if you don't get busy and work on it sure enough the time will pass and sure enough five years from now you'll wind up where you don't want to be wearing what you don't want to wear driving what you don't want to drive being what you don't want to be now is the time to fix it now here's the third step to your goals check the size of your goals and the kinds of goals how big they are what kind they are affects you and here's one of the important phrases of the evening your goals are affecting you whatever they are your goals affect your handshake your goals affect your attitude personality your goals affect the way you walk the way you talk the way you dress all day long were being affected by our goals now some people have goals but they have such lousy goal the effect is bad i asked a guy one time what are your goals for this month the guy said look if I could just scrape up enough money to pay these lousy bills that was these go i'm not saying it isn't the goal it's a goal but it's such a lousy goal the effect is bad you don't jump out of bed on Monday morning and say oh boy another chance to go to scrape up the money to pay my lousy bills so you don't do that usually say oh not another monday and some people have so given up on life they have joined the thank God it's Friday Club how sad sure those are the same people when life is over them will say thank God it's over her
