The New Dynamics of Goal Setting will not only put you on track toward achieving your success, but it will help you remain flexible and focused no matter how your career changes, no matter what obstacles or opportunities may confront you. Using the Flextactics System, this program is designed for high-performance individuals like you, who know your primary goals in life and want to learn new strategies that will help you reach them. Flextactics helps you see the future as a great adventure, welcoming change and thriving on challenge.

Technological advances, economic uncertainty, and shifting markets combine, accelerating the pace of change. Traditional planning strategies have become inadequate. Expectations based on past performance may even be counterproductive. You need strategies that can expect and anticipate change. As companies become leaner and jobs become less permanent, your challenge is to adopt a new outlook and a flowing, flexible course which assures your success and makes it more frequent and enduring.

The secret, according to success-expert Denis Waitley, is to create your own patterns out of the chaos—to fit each new circumstance into your plan for achieving your ultimate goals. By learning to expect the unexpected, your goals become more attainable. By listening to this unique program and utilizing the Flex Planner, you’ll learn how to:

To clarify these questions – assume that a doctor told you today that you had only six months more to live. What would be the things you would like to do during those six months? These things would be your true priorities. If there were no obstacles to your doing or possessing anything you wanted – what would that be? You will have think beyond your self imposed limitations and express your true desires. Is what you think you want most, really what you want most? What are you going to do with it and will that make you truly happy? Say you thought your most ardent wish was to have a million dollars – what would you do with it? Would doing that make you truly happy? Think of some other millionaires and consider if they are truly happy in the way that you want to be.

Identify goals for all the aspects of your life that impact your happiness. These include relationships, financials, career, health, attitude etc. Then you can prioritize these goals so you work on the most important ones first. Once you know the goals most desired by you, develop the sub goals which will need to be achieved in order to achieve the primary goals e.g. if the primary goal is to develop strong family relationships, then one of the sub goals could be to develop reasonable financial security so as to afford more free time with the family. For each area you also need to develop intermediate goals – what you will achieve in five years/one year/six months/one month. These goals need to be specific and written down.

Next you need to assess your present status on each one of the areas where you have defined goals e.g. if your financial goal is to have a hundred thousand dollars in five years and twenty thousand dollars in one year, then you need to assess what you have now. If you total up your savings and find that you have ten thousand dollars today, then you need to save ten thousand dollars more in the next twelve months. If that is totally impossible in today’s circumstances, then see if you can change your circumstances e.g. get a second job, or learn a new skill and get a higher paying job or reduce some non critical expenses. If even this is not feasible then revise your goals to make them achievable within the constraints you define for yourself. It is important to get in the habit of achieving your goals. You can revise them upwards after you get more confidence in your abilities. You must be totally convinced that you can achieve your goals.

At the end of this exercise you will have a set of achievable goals which are highly desirable to you. Visualize yourself achieving the goals – having a loving spouse, being rich and famous etc. Then draw up a specific and time bound plan to achieve the goals and fix benchmarks to measure your progress. Since these goals are achievable and also highly desirable to you, you will discover that a deep sense of satisfaction and lasting happiness will come merely by making steady progress towards your goals.
