MOTIVATION & GOAL SETTINGValue = Goals = Behavior = Self-esteem

THERE ARE THREE TYPES OF PEOPLE

Ones that make things happen Those that let it happen And the ones that don’t know what

WHAT IS A GOAL? The object of a person's ambition or effort;

an aim or desired result Goals must be realistic – you can’t

lose 40 pounds in one month

Must prioritize – rank in order of importance you, can’t accomplish it all at once.

Do you have the resources you need to reach your goals (money, information, health, energy, skill, etc.).

THERE ARE 2 TYPES OF GOALS Long Term goals will

take months, years, all your life.

For example: graduate from college, become a pilot, lose ___ pounds, etc.

Short Term goal is achieved quickly (finish term paper, wash dishes, mail Christmas cards by Friday, etc.). They help you achieve your long term goals.
