WEEK SIX

Welcome to Week Six of the Jim Rohn One-Year Success Plan. We hope you are having

a great week and are ready for this week's journey.

This Week is one of those weeks you circle on the calendar. Like the football team

entering a season, looking through the schedule and seeing the game that will possibly be

the difference between a good year or winning the championship. This is that week for

us! (read on...)

Last week we introduced our second Pillar of Success, Goal-Setting, and focused on Part

One of Goal-Setting - Evaluation and Reflection. In addition to the downloadable audio

files and our normal workbook exercises, we included the bonus workbook exercises

taken from The Goals Workbook. We have received great feedback on the audio files and

workbook exercises.

This week the focus is on Dreams and Goals. But let me give you the bad news/good

news up front. Bad news - The workbook exercises are loooong this week, much longer

than any previous week and it will take some time to do them. The good news -

budgeting the time and energy to do them will create insights, excitement and ultimately

great results that will have a positive impact on your life in a permanent way. This week

is the week that you get to create what the next 46 weeks and beyond will be for you.

This is the week you get to tear up the old script and start a new one if you need to. You

have permission to look at your life from the perspective of new and better possibilities

and unlimited thinking, and then be empowered to "go for it".

I'm reminded of the story our good friend Brian Tracy tells on the Success Mastery

Academy (we'll be studying this program in depth starting in Week 30) about the two

construction workers having lunch. As they open up their lunch boxes, Joe totally "flips

out" that his lunch is a sardine sandwich and goes on about how much he hates sardine

sandwiches. In turn, Bob offers to share his tuna sandwich with Joe, but Joe insists it will

be okay; but he just can't stand sardine sandwiches. Well, the next day at lunch as they

open their lunch boxes, Joe again gets upset that his lunch is a sardine sandwich. He can't

believe it since he hates sardine sandwiches! Then, believe it or not, on the third day as

they open up their lunch box, again there it is, a sardine sandwich. By now Bob has had it

and says to Joe "If you hate sardine sandwiches so much tell your wife to quit making

them and to give you something else," at which time Joe then tells Bob, "Oh, I'm not

married, I make my own lunch every day." Uh huh, we all get the point, we all make our

own lunch each day.

Last week we got to take a hard look at what we have been serving ourselves every day.

This week we get to create a new menu. Bon appetite!

GOAL-SETTING

Jim Rohn's Second Pillar of Success: Goal-Setting, Part Two –

Establishing Dreams and Goals

As you know, we are focused on the Second Pillar of Success this month - Goal-Setting.

Here is an overview of the four main components we will cover this month:

1. Evaluation and Reflection. The only way we can reasonably decide what we want in

the future and how we will get there, is to first know where we are right now and

secondly, what our level of satisfaction is for where we are in life. As we focus this

month on goal-setting, our first order of business and our topic last week was evaluation

and reflection.

2. Dreams and Goals. What are your dreams and goals? Not related to the past or what

you think you can get, but what you want. Have you ever really sat down and thought

through your life values and decided what you really want? This isn’t something that

someone else says you should have or what culture tells us successful people do or have.

These are the dreams and goals that are born out of your own heart and mind. These are

the goals that are unique to you and come from who you were created to be and gifted to

become. This week we will show you exactly how to find out what you want from life.

3. S.M.A.R.T. Goals. S.M.A.R.T. means Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and

Time-sensitive.

Specific: Don’t be vague. Exactly what do you want?

Measurable: Quantify your goal. How will you know if you’ve achieved it or not?

Attainable: Be honest with yourself about what you can reasonably accomplish at this

point in your life - along with taking into consideration your current responsibilities.

Realistic: It’s got to be do-able, real and practical.

Time: Associate a timeframe with each goal. When should you complete the goal?

We will spend some time next week looking at how to apply the S.M.A.R.T. test to your

goals to make sure they are as powerful as they can be!

4. Accountability. Think of the word “accountable.” It means to “give an account.” When

someone knows what your goals are, they help hold you accountable. Whether it is

someone else going through this program with you (have you thought about inviting a

friend to join you on this one-year journey?) or just someone you can give the basic idea

to, having a person who can hold you accountable will give you another added boost to

getting your goals! In Week Eight we will show you how to set up an accountability

partner.

This week we will be discussing Part Two - Establishing Dreams and Goals.

One of the amazing things we have been given as humans is the unquenchable desire to

have dreams of a better life. But even better than just the gift of dreaming, we also have

the ability to establish goals to live out those dreams. Think of it: we can look deep

within our hearts and dream of a better situation for ourselves and our families, dream of

better financial lives and better emotional or physical lives, and certainly dream of better

spiritual lives. But what makes this even more powerful is that we have also been given

the ability to take action and pursue those dreams and not only to pursue them, but we

possess the cognitive ability to actually lay out a plan and strategies (setting goals) to

achieve those dreams. Powerful! And that is what we will discuss in detail in this week’s

lesson--how to dream dreams and establish goals to get those dreams.

What are your dreams and goals? Now let me clarify here, this isn’t what you already

have or what you have done, but what you want. Have you ever really sat down and

thought through your life values and decided what you really want? Have you ever taken

the time to truly reflect, to listen quietly to your heart, to see what dreams live within

you? Your dreams are there. Everyone has them. They may live right on the surface, or

they may be buried deep from years of others telling you they were foolish, but they are

there. Back when I met Mr. Shoaff, he put me to work by asking the hard questions that

got me excited about my dreams and helped me to translate that excitement into strategic

action to pursue all that I wanted. And now I'm going to walk you through the same

disciplines that will help unleash the power of the dreams inside each of you.

So how do we know what our dreams are? This is an interesting

process and it relates primarily to the art of listening. This is not

listening to others; it is listening to yourself. If we listen to

others, we hear their plans and dreams (and many will try to put

their plans and dreams on us). If we listen to others, we can

never be fulfilled. We will only chase elusive dreams that are not

rooted deep within us. No, we must listen to our own hearts to hear

the dreams born out of the passions and desires we each uniquely

possess. Quiet yourself and listen. Just like when you are quiet enough

to hear your own heart beating within your chest, your dreams have their

own rhythm that beat within you and all you have to do is get quiet enough

to hear the beat.

Now let’s take a look at some practical steps/thoughts on hearing from our hearts on what

our dreams are:

Take time to be quiet. This is something that we don’t do enough in this busy world of

ours. We rush, rush, rush and we are constantly listening to noise all around us. We must

not get faked out by just being busy. Instead we must constantly ask ourselves the

question, "Busy doing what?" In other words, are the activities you are participating in

moving you towards your goals? If not, then work to eliminate those things and replace

some of that time with quiet. The human heart was meant for times of quiet, to peer deep

within. It is when we do this that our hearts are set free to soar and take flight on the

wings of our own dreams! Schedule some quiet “dream time” this week. No other people.

No cell phone. No computer. Just you, a pad, a pen, and your thoughts (you get to do this

in the workbook exercises this week).

Think about what really thrills you. When you are quiet, think about those things that

really get your blood moving. What would you love to do, either for fun or for a living?

What would you love to accomplish? What would you try if you were guaranteed to

succeed? What big thoughts move your heart into a state of excitement and joy? When

you answer these questions you will feel great, and be in the “dream zone.” It is only

when we get to this point that we can truly realize and begin to experience what our

dreams are!

Write down all of your dreams as you have them. Don’t think of any as too outlandish or

foolish – remember, you’re dreaming! Let your thoughts and pen fly as you take careful

record.

Now look at your list and prioritize those dreams. Which are most important? Which are

most feasible? Which would you love to do the most? Put them in the order in which you

will actually try to attain them. Remember, we are always moving toward action, not just

dreaming.

Now here is the big picture of why I'm asking you to take part in this exercise. Life is too

short to not pursue your dreams. Someday your life will near its end and all you will be

able to do is look backwards. You can reflect with joy or regret. And we all know that joy

(or disciplines) weigh ounces while regret weighs tons. Those who dream, who set goals

and act on them to live out their dreams are those who live lives of joy and have a sense

of peace when they near the end of their lives. They have finished well and for that they

possess a sense of pride and accomplishment, not only for themselves but also for their

families. And that feeling is priceless.

Remember: These are the dreams and goals that are born out of your heart and mind.

These are the goals that are unique to you and come from who you were created to be and

gifted to become. Your specific goals are what you want to attain because they are what

will make your life joyful and bring your family’s life into congruence with what you

want it to be.

Until next week, let's dream and then do something remarkable!

Jim Rohn

“Circumstances may cause interruptions and delays, but never lose sight of your

goal. Prepare yourself in every way you can by increasing your knowledge and

adding to your experience, so that you can make the most of opportunity when it

occurs.”
