Setting Goals

 

A few months ago, I sat down with my bosses at CFRR (yes, it KILLS me to call LA my boss haha- jk, buddy!) and we went over my goals.  I set 3, 6 and 11 month goals for personal, career, and financials.  Well, I'm super pumped to announce that starting October 3rd, I will have reached one of my goals 9 MONTHS ahead of schedule - how awesome is that??!!!

As most of you know, I've worked a 40 hour per week job and have coached CrossFit in the evenings for quite some time.  Beginning Monday I'll be going part time at my office job and I'll get to do more of what I absolutely love - coach!!!  I feel that this opportunity is SUCH a blessing and I am extremely excited (can't you tell by all the !!!'s??) :-)

Here are a few tips to help you set your goals and, hopefully, achieve all that you desire!!! 

- WRITE DOWN THOSE GOALS!!!  Putting something in writing is like creating a contract with yourself.  Plus, when you actually SEE the goal in front of you, it will remind you what you need to do daily, to get there.

- MAKE SURE YOUR GOALS ARE REALISTIC. It's important that the time frame you set to achieve your goal is attainable, that way you don't become discouraged when you're not able to reach that particular goal.

- SET SHORT TERM and LONG TERM GOALS.  Short term goals allow you a sense of accomplishment on a more regular basis. If all of your goals are long term, you'll get discouraged quickly. Short term goals help you to stay on track.

- PRIORITIZE!!!!  Sort the goals you have written down in order of importance.

- REWARD YOURSELF!!!  Rewarding yourself when you reach a short term goal, will help you stay focused and motivated to reach those long term goals.  Plus, celebrating your accomplishment is FUN!!

Now......get out that paper and start writing out your goals!!! 

See it.  Believe it.  Achieve it.
