Courses, Goal setting, Life's purpose, Lifelong learning, New Year,

Happy New Year!  I hope your new year has started very well and I wish you every success for the year ahead.  Just a quick update that my best selling courses New Year Sale has been extended until end of 26th January 2021. I also have my top 2021 goal setting tips to share below.

Tom’s Top Goal Setting Tips for 2021:

1.  Set yourself a learning goal for the New Year.  Continuous learning/lifelong learning is key to career success over the next decade.  The pace of change in our world is accelerating and the Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated this further.  To remain relevant in a fast changing world we need to keep building our skills or become obsolete.  I deal with the technologies and other forces driving change in our world and how these changes are impacting on jobs and careers in my ‘Future Skills 2030’ course (please see link to course below).  In 2020 I built new skills on Futures Thinking and am currently undertaking a course on Cyber Security.  I am not just giving you advice but I am following it myself!  What learning goal(s) will you set for 2021?

2.  Set yourself challenging goals.  The reality is that challenging goals are inspiring and motivating.  They excite us and fire us up to take action.  I have set my own challenging goal on publishing a new beekeeping course that I have been working on.  I aim to do this by February 20th and I really feel inspired to achieve that goal!

Great Goals for Quarter 4 2020

Goal setting, Life's purpose, Planning, Uncategorized

How the year does fly by! Thinking back to January 2020 when I was setting my goals for the year ahead looks like eons ago now! That was our world pre-covid 19. The pandemic took us all by surprise and the best made plans in many cases were no longer possible. As I write we will soon be starting into the 4th quarter of 2020. This is a great time of the year to stop and reflect and do some planning for the last three months of the year. It’s time now to set great goals for quarter 4 2020. September for many of us is a time of new beginnings. Many schools and colleges open after the summer break and people get down to work again after their summer holidays. In this article I want to give you some key pointers on the why and how of setting great goals for quarter 4 2020.

There are no facts about the future!

Even if 2020 has not been a great year for you so far and those new year’s resolutions are just a distant memory, you can change everything in your life for the better over the next three months. There are no facts about the future – everything is possible!

Why do we need goals?

This an important question and I explain this in the lecture below. This lecture is taken from my goal setting 101 course.

Some key planning tips

  • Be very clear about the Why. What is your vision for your life? What is your life’s purpose (ikigai or hedgehog concept)? Really know why you want to achieve your goals. Engage with your Why emotionally.
  • Set clear goals – they must be SMART.
  • Break your goals down into achievable chunks.
  • Watch out for the pitfalls of goal setting such as tunnel vision.
  • Use powerful tools such as visualisation, affirmations and mind movies to turbo charge your goal setting.
  • Learn how to conduct an effective After Action Review.
  • Knowing about the above tips without acting on them in your life is not enough (it’s only 10% – the real work is implementing these goals setting tips in your life)
  • Learn about these goal setting strategies and more in my Goal Setting 101 Course. By the way the courses includes 16 practical assignments because action is key to success (again knowing is only 10% progress).

Best wishes,

Tom
