You should now have three lists filled to the brim with your dreams and desires for your future. Do you feel inspired? Excited? Uplifted? With these lists you can make your dreams come true. Of course, a list is just a list, so how do we take these lists and turn them into actionable goals?
Today, it’s time to prioritize your lists. Let us start with our “Personal Development Goals“. Which of these goals would you like to have within your grasp this year? Write the number 1 next to those goals. Write a 3 next to goals you’d like to accomplish within 3 years. Then write a 5 for five year goals, a 10 for ten year goals, and a 20 for twenty year goals.
This gives you a timeline of sorts for your goals. You will begin to see which you need to get working on right away. Those goals that you want to bring into reality within the coming year are high priority goals. They need your attention today. Goals that have longer time spans should not be neglected but they are further in the distance and can be approached more casually.
Next, repeat this process for your “Thing Goals” and your “Economic Goals“.
Remember, this is an opportunity to throw off constraining beliefs. You don’t need to create boundaries based on outdated beliefs. Ignore what is ‘feasible’ and let yourself truly believe that you can have anything you want.
Ask yourself: “What do I want ultimately,
what do I want now.” ~ Tony Robbins
What are some of your one year goals? I’d love to read some of your goals so please feel free to share them in the comments section! Do you have a favorite goal on each of your lists?

Most of my goals are one year goals and some are shorter than one year such as six months and three months.
Although my MAIN goal which is to build my Dream home is a 5 year goal
Your dream home sounds like a great goal to focus on, Angela. Every day we have little puddle-jumping goals to accomplish so it’s not surprising that most of your goals are one year goals. There are goals that will be harder to accomplish, like your dream home, that may take longer.
For example, one of my long term 10 year goals is to establish a writer’s colony. It just isn’t realistic to think I could do it in one year (especially on top of some of my shorter term goals like finishing my current book) so setting my time line with so little leeway would be dangerous. You don’t want to make it impossible to reach your goals.
Having said that, there are aspects that work in your favor. If you have a one year goal to earn $500,000 when the most you’ve ever earned is $20,000 it might seem out of reach. By truly believing you can accomplish this goal, however, you probably will. Because you’ll have centered your lifestyle around the goals completion, and with Tony’s Goal Setting Workshop you’ll have functional day to day tasks that keep you on the right path.

Goal setting is very important specially if you want to plan long term.”*-
I think your article was probably a great beginning to a potential series of write ups about this topic. A lot of bloggers pretend to understand what they’re talking about when it comes to this area and generally, hardly anyone actually get it. You seem to really dominate it though, so I think you should run with it. Thanks a lot!
