In today's episode, we talk about turning our dreams and ideas into concrete goals in such a way that they become 42% more likely to be achieved (This statistic comes from a study conducted by Dr. Gail Matthews at the Dominican University in California). We discuss the application of motivation and discipline in order to achieve your goals and we learn a bit about Pablo Picasso.
We also go over the SMART Method of identifying your goals and getting really specific about what you want in life. We cover how to avoid making excuses and not allowing the brick walls we face to stop us and end with excerpts from a lecture given from Dr. Randy Pausch entitled "The Last Lecture: How to Achieve Your Childhood Dreams", delivered after his terminal pancreatic cancer diagnosis at age 46.
If you're having trouble setting goals for yourself and following through, this is the place for you to be.
Thank you,
