Goal Design is a five-step process, of which Goal Setting is Step #4

We answer 5 Questions:

1. Is my knowledge sufficient and my beliefs accurate ? (Beliefs)

2. What is the ideal scenario that I desire ? (Vision)

3. Why is this important to me ? (Purpose)

4. What mileposts will indicate progress ? (Goals)

5. What actions do I need to schedule and measure ? (Actions)

1)Beliefs ... 2)Dreams ... 3)Purpose ... 4)Goals ... 5)Actions

Using Sleep as an Example:

1. Examine, Improve and Validate your Belief System: What do I know about "sleep"? Is my knowledge enough and is it based on the truth? What lies and limitations are contaminating my ideas about and my relationship with "sleep" ? What can I do to upgrade my knowledge and Belief System around "sleep" ?
   
   
2. Establish the Dream (the Vision): using your imagination, emotions and desires. Envision the perfect Scenario. See the picture in terms of shape, colour, size, smell, and texture, as well as how it makes you feel. Write the Vision down. Display the Vision where you can see it.
   
   
3. Connect meaning and Purpose: This is the stage where the Value of our Dream is determined. Ask: Why do I want it or need it? What is the meaning that I attach to this? What do I wish to gain from it? What do I want to experience ? How will it help me to Grow? What would it contribute? And lastly: What would be the impact if I don't acquire the Vision ? What would be gained and what would be lost? What would be lacking?
   
   
4. Goal setting: can be thought of as using something like the SMART framework to set a goal which is: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time bound. Ask: What specific result do I want ? By when do I want it ? What must the colour, size, shape, smell and texture be? Where must it be located ? How much must it cost ? How will I make sure that I achieved my purpose ?
   
   
5. Action Plan: Task >> Time >> Budget >> Responsible >> Result Our action plan contains the specific actions and strategies that must be executed in order to reach the goal.
