GOALS

We have set some specific goals to reach prior to opening. Everyday we try to insure we are reaching the goals we set forth.

Now its time for you to start thinking about your goals and what you want to accomplish this year as a member of CFL.

Here is an easy to remember method for setting goals. In setting goals we have to be SMART:

• S - Specific - goals must be specific and clearly identify your target

• M - Measurable - determine how you are going to see progress

• A - Attainable - it is within your capability

• R - Realistic - goals should be just beyond your immediate grasp

• T - Timely - create time lines

In order to achieve our goals, it may be necessary to change our attitude, comfort zone, people we associate with, and even our jobs. Some of the changes are quite critical. We have to admit we need to get out of a rut and make the necessary changes.

Setting Goals

1. Decide what you want.

2. Make a list of everything you would like to accomplish with no limitations.

3. What would you go after if you were guaranteed that you could not fail?

4. Write out a detailed explanation of why you want each of your goals and what achieving them will mean to you.

5. Build a plan for accomplishing your goals.

6. Set the date of accomplishment.

7. Think of it often (start asking yourself: Is the direction I am taking today helping achieve my goal?).

8. Dream and imagine.

9. Stay positive (read and listen to positive things daily).

10. Act as though you have achieved it (conceive – believe - achieve).

Just remember it is acceptable if you don’t reach a goal. What is most important is to understand why you didn’t reach it and make a plan on how you will.
