GPS: Goal Planning Strategy

Words alone cannot express how excited I am that you are harnessing the power of your GPS (Goal Planning Strategy) during your 90 Day Run. I am more than confident that you will accomplish your goals, which are life-changing and remarkable in magnitude and degree. Your GPS will take you beyond merely writing down your goals; it will allow you to focus on the planning and strategy of accomplishing them, no matter what circumstances you face. The process of setting up your GPS is an exciting time. The techniques you learned about by reading my book, The GOAL Formula™, will come to life and help you to stay on track with your results as you monitor your performance on a daily basis. Starting your GPS is a great step but continuing to use it throughout your 90 Day Run will ensure that you stay on course. Remember, the following pages are merely templates for your path to greatness. The most important thing you can do is to take action. I want to encourage you to go after the life you have always wanted – personally and professionally. As your Goal Coach, I will be with you on your journey! Whether your goals are big or small, life-changing or life-saving, you too can improve your life when you start to Think GREAT. I wrote The GOAL Formula™ to share my proven techniques for accomplishing goals, during the most challenging circumstances. During my wife’s battle with cancer, we focused our attention on our goals as a way to provide us with constant motivation and inspiration. Designed to help you get started, to stay on track, and to accomplish the goals required for you to achieve a greater life, The GOAL Formula™ provides the formula necessary for success, personally and professionally. If we were able to do it when we were battling cancer, you can do it too. Divided into four powerful sections, The GOAL Formula™ pays careful attention to the parts necessary to get the results you need. Part I: The Big Picture – Helps you to develop your Big Picture and details the five steps to accomplish any goal. Part II: Time Mastery – Teaches you how to structure your time, especially during the next 90 days, so you are prepared to complete the big picture of your life. Part III: You Never Run Alone – Shows you the benefits of incorporating other people into your journey to accomplish your life-changing goals. Part IV: Your 90 Day Run Starts Now – Provides you an in-depth look at the GPS (Goal Planning Strategy), which keeps you on track to see your goals all the way through. Your 90-Day Power Journal transforms Part IV into your own GPS, allowing you to fully maximize your next 90 days, and accomplish your important goals. Although each goal is unique, they typically fall somewhere into five unique categories (the Fantastic Five). Accomplishing goals in one or more of these areas will help you to have a life that is remarkable in magnitude and degree. For most people, their definition of greatness can be found within these five goal categories. FAITH – Goals that allow you to pursue spiritual growth. Accomplishing Faith goals will allow you to rise beyond the purely material world and find a truer balance in your life. FAMILY & FRIENDS – Goals that enhance the meaningful relationships in your life. Accomplishing Family & Friends goals will give you a deeper feeling of love and belonging. FINANCIAL – Goals that involve building a career, increasing income, eliminating debt, and building financial security. Accomplishing Financial goals helps to build stability and gain peace of mind. FITNESS – Goals that involve improving your health through nutrition and fitness. Accomplishing Fitness goals will help you to live a longer, more enjoyable life. FUN – Goals that involve your personal interests. Accomplishing your Fun goals will add a new level of excitement to your life. Imagine how empowered you would feel to accomplish goals within one of these areas! Now imagine accomplishing goals in all of these areas! When you improve your life in one of these categories, it always gives you the confidence to start improving the others. Accomplishing life-changing goals always makes life worth living to the fullest. Millions of people are ready to accomplish the goals that will have this amazing impact in their lives, but most of them will never fully prepare themselves for accomplishing them.
