Starting to Set Personal Goals

You set your goals on a number of levels:

• First you create your "big picture" of what you want to do with your life (or over, say, the next 10 years), and identify the large-scale goals that you want to achieve.
• Then, you break these down into the smaller and smaller targets that you must hit to reach your lifetime goals.
• Finally, once you have your plan, you start working on it to achieve those goals.

This is why we start the process of goal setting by looking at your lifetime goals.  Then, we work down to the things that you cant do in, say, the next five years, then next year, next month, next week, and today, to start moving towards them.
