GOALS THAT STICK

A step-by-step guide to help you
discover goals & get what you want
{Study Guide}
DON’T
OUT
1. Brain Dump: Start by going really big.
Set a timer for 10-15 min and see what comes out at the biggest level of
your dreams for this year. This is big, possibly embarrassing stuff; write it
down anyways!
“Write a book,” “appear on television,” “find a partner.” Just write some
of the big things you’d really want to do. Everything that could possibly
happen.
Don’t edit yourself — anything you could think of.
Don’t read it as you go, just jot down anything that comes to mind. Even
if you’re not that into it, write it down!
The trick here is to not edit as you go (just like great brainstorming).
You’ll likely notice there’s some adrenaline and creative juices flowing at
this stage!

2. What worked last year and what didn’t?
Draw a line down the middle of a piece of paper; on the left write what
didn’t work, on the right, what did work.
“Valuing what other people think about my work,” “excuse making” are
examples of what might go on the left.
“Weekly checkins on my projects with the team,” “writing more blog
posts,” “meeting new people and being inspired by their stories,” could
be on the right side.
Include projects and specific outcomes, but also include ideas about
HOW you work, the processes you use, the mindset you often inhabit.
Again, we emphasize NOT editing as you go; just write as it comes.
Refrain from judging or beating yourself up too hard — we’re simply
looking back so we can look forward!

3. Find your totem word for this year.
Go back and re-read EVERYTHING you’ve done at this point, all the
brain dump, all the working/not-working.
Highlight anything that stands out or truly resonates for you. Circle 3
things that are really working. Circle 3 big things that are NOT working.
The whole time you’re reading be open to a single word that will stand out
to you. This word will become your symbol, your guiding light!
This word is an anchor for you. Steph’s word for 2017 was “Vibrant” and
2018 is “Connected.” When she remembers her word, it helps ground
her in the direction she’s taking throughout the year.
It’s kind of the one word that encapsulates this whole process for you.
It’s like this word ties the whole thing together, gives you the essence of
the whole thing.
You might need to make a big brainstorming list of words. Write down all
your word ideas in a big flurry if you need to. You’ll land on one that
feels right.  
4. Your “Life Buckets”.
Now that you know your one big word, how will it impact each area of
your life?
Begin by dividing your life up into categories. These might include
relationships, family, business/work, finances, home, travel… you get the
idea.
Not too many, not too few. Shoot for 4-10 categories.
Go back to your brain dump (Step 1). What can you do in each area of
your life to get closer to your dream scenario?
Think about the WHAT, not the HOW.
In this stage, you’re NOT worrying about the steps to getting there.
Instead, you’re developing a specific vision for how each area could look
if it were exactly as you wanted it to be.
So, combine your “one word” with your “life buckets” to discover the
vision. What would a “connected family” look like? “Courageous work”?
“Vibrant body”?

5. Set the Goals.
Now, go back to each life bucket individually. What are some tangible
things you can do to get closer to the way you want that area to feel?
It’s time to consider the HOW. You’ve discovered WHAT you want —
now we ponder action steps.
Write out 1-3 steps you can take on that goal within the near future.
As a bonus helpful step, consider applying the framework of “good,
better & best” to your goals.
For example, in Steph’s definition of “Connected Work”, one of her
items was to see her audience grow so she can have a deeper impact.
Therefore, in 2018 one of her main goals is to grow her email list. A
“good” goal for her would be 5,000 subscribes; 10,000 would be
better; 20,000 would be best.
For more example goals, refer to the slides from the workshop.

This workbook is meant to be a quick
“study guide” and is best paired with the
workshop replay + slides.

overall life-changingness 🤗
