INTRODUCTION

 "e# $ear%s E&e' (nce again yo)%re a*o)t to make yo)r ann)al set o+ "e#

$ear%s resol)tions' $o) ha&en%t achie&ed last year%s *)t %#hat the heck% yo)

say to yo)rsel+ as yo)%re a*o)t to commit to another set o+ resol)tions in the

name o+ tradition'

I+ this so)nds +amiliar to yo), yo) are not alone' Most people think a*o)t

their goals and dreams too cas)ally, e&ent)ally +orgetting a*o)t them *e+ore

the end o+ -an)ary'

$o) see, one o+ the reasons "e# $ear%s resol)tions +all thro)gh is that most

 people don%t take the time to make a #inning game plan +or achie&ing their

dreams' In +act, people spend more time planning their *irthday party than

designing their +)t)re'

In order to achie&e *ig goals, yo) need more than #ish+)l thinking and

sincere commitment to make it happen' $o) need a solid and pro&en process

that #ill s)pport yo) along the #ay'

The simple +o)r step process o)tlined in this #ork*ook is the res)lt

o+ my li+elong passion to identi+y the most e++ecti&e program in attaining *ig

goals'

In the last decade or so I ha&e achie&ed all my ma.or dreams )sing this

 process' I o*tained +inancial +reedom +rom e/cessi&e de*t in less than a year,

I completed an Ironman Triathlon and kicked my smoking ha*it in 0

STEP ONE: Your !ig #$Year Dream

: Dream no small dreams for they ha%e no &ower to mo%e the hearts of men:

 ; -ohann Wol+gang &on Goethe

Do yo) remem*er ho# easy it #as to kno# e/actly #hat yo) #ant #hen yo)

#ere yo)ng< =o# simple it #as to dream *ig and *elie&e #itho)t a do)*t

that yo) can achie&e anything<

Some#here along the path o+ li+e #e all *ecame distracted and lostconnection #ith o)r dreams' We ended )p reacting to circ)mstances and

meeting other people%s needs, rather than acting o)t o+ con&iction and #ith

clear direction'

The tr)th is that most o+ )s ha&e *een settling +or less +or too long' It is time

#e get *ack in to)ch #ith o)r innermost #ildest dreams and de&ise a ro)te

to +)l+ill them'

I )se the #ord %#ildest% +or a reason' Small dreams ha&e no po#er to dri&e

yo)r heart to its desire' There is no magic in small dreams' "o +)el +or

inspiration'

My li+e e/periences s)pport this' When I trained +or a short mini triathlon I

+o)nd mysel+ literally dragging my +eet to the gym #ith no energy' I missed

training sessions, contin)o)sly +o)nd e/c)ses and )ltimately 5)it'

The same happened #hen I tried to sa&e a relati&ely small amo)nt o+ money

+or an )ninspiring &acation' I simply didn4t ha&e the discipline to +ollo#

thro)gh'

It #as only #hen I allo#ed mysel+ to *e +ree o+ *o)ndaries and tr)ly +ollo#

my heart that I #as a*le to stick to my goals and keep mo&ing' In +act,

setting :)nimagina*le: goals, #hich are #orth stri&ing +or, makes the

 process easier, more +)n, and &ery m)ch imagina*le'

So my +irst message to yo) today is this? Dream @ig' Don%t limit yo)rsel+

and try to *e practical #ith yo)r choices o+ dreams' Possi*ilities are

)nlimited and more realistic than yo) think'

My second message is? 8oc)s' Most goal methods don%t #ork *eca)se too

many o+ )s try to change e&erything all at once' ()r systems do not respond

+a&ora*ly to e/cessi&e amo)nt o+ radical shi+ts, #hich )s)ally ca)se )s to

a*andon o)r grand dreams'

$ears o+ engagement in goal setting processes ha&e ta)ght me a great deal

a*o)t the *ene+its o+ +oc)sing on one *ig dream at a time' It is e/tremely

2and )nderstanda*ly3 tempting to go and p)rs)e all yo)r *ig dreams at once

 *)t in my e/perience that )s)ally translates into mediocre res)lts'

Instead, in this #ork*ook yo)%ll narro# yo)r list and +oc)s on one *ig

dream' @y immersing yo)rsel+ in only one area yo)%ll *e a*le to e/tract more

#isdom and en.oy the +inest 5)ality o+ +oc)sed attention'

I+ yo)%re #orrying that one dream might not *e eno)gh +or yo), then I

s)ggest yo) #ait )ntil yo) complete step t#o in this #ork*ook' E&ery *ig

dream has many s)*;goals that accompany it so yo)r plate #ill get +)ll

5)ite 5)ickly'

And, i+ at the end o+ step t#o yo) still think one dream is not eno)gh, then

simply shorten yo)r one year deadline' I did it s)ccess+)lly #ith my Ironman

Triathlon .o)rney and n)mero)s other goals completing them in 1;0 months'

Whate&er yo) decide, I enco)rage yo) to a&oid the temptation to m)ltitask

and, instead, +oc)s on one *ig dream at a time'

(, #ith that in mind, let%s get started'

The 5)estions on the ne/t page are designed to help yo) identi+y and clearly

de+ine yo)r *iggest dreams' $o)%ll then ha&e the opport)nity to choose one

area o+ yo)r li+e ; an area yo)%&e al#ays dreamt o+ taking to the ne/t le&el ;

and p)rs)e it #ell, #ith all yo)r heart and so)l'

En.oy'

STEP TWO: Your 1&ecific Goals In%entory

"Goals are dreams with deadlines." 

  ~Diana Schar+ =)nt

 "o# that yo)%&e tho)ght a*o)t #here yo) #ant to *e ! months do#n the

line, it%s time to shorten the scope and think a*o)t the *)ilding *locks o+

yo)r *ig dream'

=a&ing a clear &ision o+ yo)r dream is important *)t #itho)t the str)ct)re o+

#hat yo) need to do, yo)r chances o+ t)rning the dream into reality

are signi+icantly lo#er'

This is #here goals come in'

A *ig dream, s)ch as #riting a *ook, or *)ilding a ho)se can *e

o&er#helming, *)t i+ yo) *reak it do#n into a +e# components 2Write ta*le

o+ contents, Research +or a relia*le *)ilder, etc3 it *ecomes m)ch easier to

tackle'

Setting intermediate goals #ill also help yo) mark yo)r progress along the

trail' Achie&ing these *enchmark goals means yo)4ll ha&e +re5)ent &ictories

and *)ild yo)r moment)m #ith each one yo) complete'

In this step, yo)%ll de+ine the e/plicit and meas)ra*le res)lts o+ #hat yo)

#ant and set speci+ic time +rames to achie&e them'

$o) #ant to #rite yo)r goals in #ords that gi&e yo) a clear and concisemental image o+ their +inal res)lt' They also need to *e #ell 5)anti+ied,

Consider the +ollo#ing goal? "Im&ro%e my finances", and compare it to2

"!ring my credit card debt  to %ero ".

$o) get the pict)re'

astly, yo)4ll need to set a +irm deadline in

order to create a positi&e sense o+ )rgency'

(n Goal So+t#are, +or e/ample, I set a daily

co)nter that co)nts the days )ntil each goal4s

deadline'

(h, one more thing, .)st as +oc)sing on one dream at a time can make a *ig

di++erence, +oc)sing on one goal at a time can *e +ar more e++ecti&e' When

yo) try to take on many goals at once, yo) spread yo)r +oc)s and energy thin

to set yo)r goals in a se5)ential manner #ith month;to;month re&ie#s so

$OUT THE $UTHOR 

My story is *eing #ritten +rom many perspecti&es and enriched *y the

 people and places I enco)ntered along the #ay'

E&er since I remem*er mysel+ I #as intrig)ed #ith the endless possi*ilities

o+ sel+;e/pression' I simply see li+e as a playgro)nd to e/press o)r deepest

desires and e/periment #ith the percei&ed limits o+ the physical #orld'

ooking at my li+e, I ha&e come to realie that my li+e is not .)st one linear

contin)o)s .o)rney, *)t more o+ a recollection o+ di++erent .o)rneys and

e/periences' I4&e learned that it is de+initely not all a*o)t the destination, *)t

more a*o)t the .o)rney' And the greater the challenge, the more satis+ying

the .o)rney *ecomes'

We ha&e an incredi*le chance to create *ea)ti+)l things on this planet, a real

opport)nity to li&e li+e to the +)llest in a #orld +)ll o+ potential and #onder'

@)t, it can only happen i+ #e p)sh *eyond the com+ort one, +ace o)r +ears,and take the risks in&ol&ed in p)rsing #hat #e tr)ly #ant'
