Career Life WorkSetting GoalsStep 1: Write Your Goal DownIt is important to write down your goals and make them more real. Wordsconvey images, pictures, feelings, emotions to the mind. We can read them overand over again to remind ourselves of what we desire.If you write down your goal, it is more likely to come true. Post your goalsomewhere where you can see it everyday, e.g. on the fridge, on your bathroommirror or in your wallet.It takes time to get your goal right. It may take several days of thinking andseveral drafts to get the right wording.Draft #1: My goal is to become a heavy equipment operator.Draft #2: My goal is to go to school to become a heavy equipment operator.Draft #3: My goal is go to school to become a heavy equipment operatorand get a job at one of the mines working in this field.4Career - Life – WorkGoal Setting Workbook4

Passion keeps people up workingall hours of the night to complete their goal. It's what fueled Stephen Spielbergfrom the age of 13 to be a movie director. It's what powered Oprah to overcomeher difficult childhood and become a talk-host sensation.Desire starts in the mind. List all the benefits of your goal.For example: My goal is to go to school to become a heavy equipment operatorand get a job at one of the mines working in this field.6 More money Be able to buy what we need Job security Learn new things A feeling of accomplishment Have two weeks off at a time Meet new people Be able to buy a new truck Be able to go hunting duringtime out Retirement plan (pension orRRSPs) Be able to save money Interesting job Can advance at the mine tosupervisor Spend lots of time with kids onmy two weeks off Be able to afford nice holidays Good routine to get into Work outdoors Good food at the mine Get fit at the mine (work out) Hang with my buddies at themine Will feel better about myself Looking forward to a newchallengeCareer - Life – WorkGoal Setting Workbook6

Career Life WorkSetting GoalsStep 4: Set DeadlinesWhich goal planning exercise is more likely to be achieved?Goal 1:I would like to take a vacation in the Bahamas sometime!Goal 2:Six months from today I will be enjoying a vacation in theBahamas.Yes, deadlines help you make your goal a reality. However, it would be amistake to think deadlines perform miracles. Setting a deadline by saying, "Inseven days from now I will have made an extra 5,000" will most likely not work.So you need to: Break the goals down into manageable stages. Work out a reasonable time frame for that stage and factor in some extratime just in case of delays. Put the deadline date for each stage in your computer planner or diary. Set the deadline date for your last stage.Think about your goal in several different stages and then write a statement foreach stage. You may have three to five stages for this step. Stage 1: Complete upgrading by December 2013 Stage 2: Complete Heavy Equipment Operator’s Course by June 2014 Stage 3: Working in one of the mines as a Heavy Equipment Operatorby October 2014Career - Life – WorkGoal Setting Workbook1111
