“Success Principle #7: Unleash the Power of Goal Setting” helps your participants render their visions
practical. Setting goals activates both the conscious and the subconscious mind to figure out what needs to
happen to make the goal a reality. Assigning each goal a clear deadline activates the Law of Attraction and
participants will begin to attract the resources necessary to accomplish the goal.

High Achievers Set Goals – Concept

Context www.getwsodo.com
www.getwsodo.com
This module teaches participants the defining characteristic that sets high achievers apart from ordinary
people: high achievers set goals—and they pro-actively pursue the achievement of those goals. By teaching
this goal-setting principle, participants will learn a powerful way to take 100% responsibility for their lives—by
planning their future through the setting of breakthrough goals.
Overview
Once you know your life purpose, determine your vision, and clarify what your true needs and desires are, you
have to convert them into specific, measurable goals and objectives and then act on them with the certainty
that you will achieve them. Experts on the science of success know the brain is a goal-seeking organ. Whatever
goal you give to your subconscious mind, it will work night and day to achieve.
Objectives
• Participants will learn how to state their life goals into definitive statements.
• Participants will learn to train the brain (through affirmations) to continually seek ways to achieve
stated goals.

High Achievers Set Goals – Script
Use the following script to explain the concept that high achievers set goals.
www.getwsodo.com
www.getwsodo.com
“Now that you have learned the importance of taking 100 % responsibility, getting clear
and cleaning up our messes and incompletes; you can begin to pursue your vision by
creating clear, measureable and specific goals. The key aspect of goal setting is ‘how much
by when.’
High achievers set goals!
CONSIDER THIS ... WHY PEOPLE DO NOT SET GOALS:
1. They were never modeled how to set goals by their parents or teachers.
2. Never taught in schools.
3. They were possibly discouraged or teased when they set them.
4. They were never given instructions on how to set goals.
5. Fear of rejection.
6. Fear of failure.
WHAT MAKES A GOAL A REALITY?
1. It is specific and measurable.
2. It’s believable to you.
3. It is communicated to others.
4. It has a time limit.
5. Internal and external roadblocks are accepted as a natural part of the journey and are
dealt with positively.
WHAT SUPPORTS A GOAL BECOMING A REALITY?


Visualization – Keeps a goal front of mind.
Affirmations – Present-tense affirmations will help create an image of the desired result.
www.getwsodo.com
www.getwsodo.com
Repetition – Written down and posted where you can see and review regularly.
Share – By sharing goals, you clarify your vision and state it openly.
Considerations – Obstacles, Roadblocks, Fear – Allows you to plan and stay on track. An
idea about what might get in the way.
There are two types of goals, Process Goals and Results Goals. Results goal is the end result
of what you want to achieve, and a process goal is what you will do to get to your results
goal.
For Example:
Results Goal: To Weigh XXX by December 31, 2015
Process Goal: I will exercise a minimum of 1 hour a day 5 times a week. I will follow a clearly
designed meal plan 6 days a week with one ‘cheat day’ each week.
FACILITATOR TIP: Once your participants develop some goals aligned with their vision, you can have your
participants work in pairs to help each other to determine if they are specific and measurable.

High Achievers Set Goals: Demonstration Script
Use the following script. You may choose someone in your audience or just explain.
www.getwsodo.com
www.getwsodo.com
“The first thing we are going to do is set measurable goals. For each one, write down your
goal in a way that is measurable, so that if someone outside were observing you, they would
know you had accomplished the goal.”
“A goal is short, specific and measurable and has a time limit or date by when.
“I would like to own a nice home on the ocean someday,” is a desire, but it is not yet stated
as a goal, which includes how much and by when.
“Here is the same statement stated as a goal.
“I will own a 2000 square foot house in Santa Barbara, California, by noon, April 30, 2015.”
“Let me share a quick idea with you that can help you build momentum to achieving results
beyond what you may initially think is possible. It is called: MTO, Minimum ... Target ...
Outrageous.
“Whenever you set a goal, set a minimum goal, but also keep in mind a target and
outrageous such as:
- Minimum Goal – “I will own a 2000 square foot house in Santa Barbara, California, by
noon, April 30, 2015.”
- Target – “I will own a 3000 square foot house in Santa Barbara, California, by noon,
April 30, 2015.”
- Outrageous – “I will own a 6000 square foot house in Santa Barbara, California, by
noon, April 30, 2015.”

“Another example:
- Minimum Goal: I will have a tiny wine cooler in my kitchen by January 30, 2017.
-
www.getwsodo.com
www.getwsodo.com
Target Goal: I will have a full sized wine refrigerator in my home by Januaray 30, 2017.
- Outrageous Goal: I will have complete wine cellar in my home by June 15, 2017.
“An outrageous goal is something that would just blow your mind if you achieved it.
Something that feels like “Well I/we could never do that.”
“The idea is that you are almost guaranteed to reach your minimum, your minimum gets
results and you no longer feel like you can’t do it. Your target is within your capabilities. And
then you have your outrageous goal. You see, what happens is that most people will start
with the minimum, and then they get motivated and strive for the target and outrageous,
this system helps you build momentum.
“Have you ever had the experience where you say, “I’m just going to clean up the kitchen a
little,” and the next thing you know you’ve cleaned the entire kitchen, even waxed the floor?
It was just a matter of getting started. So let’s take the next 10 minutes writing down at least
2 goals.
“I like to pick one personal goal, and one health or professional goal to start.”
FACILITATOR TIP: If you are only asking them to do 2 goals, give about 10 minutes and check in at about
7 minutes to see how they are doing, if they get 2 completed, encourage them to do more. To assess
whether the group needs more time, simply ask: “Does anyone need more time?”

Create a Breakthrough Goal to Instantly
Up level Your Life and Career: Concept
Context
www.getwsodo.com
www.getwsodo.com
In teaching your audience about goals, it’s important to make the distinction between short-term goals and a
breakthrough goal—or what Jack Canfield calls a “big hairy audacious goal (BHAG)” Both are important types
of goals for your students to set and achieve. Smaller goals help them advance little by little toward
achievement of their breakthrough goal.
Overview
Goal-setting is a powerful success tool. But most goals that we set are near-term goals that only help us
progress by degrees. Setting a life-changing goal, on the other hand—then working every day to achieve it—
can up level every aspect of our lives. Whether it’s a profound career move or a major personal improvement
or landing a major business deal, a breakthrough goal permanently changes our lives—and permanently
changes who we are as individuals.
Objectives
• Participants will learn what a Breakthrough Goal is.
• Participants will identify a Breakthrough Goal for their own lives.

Create a Breakthrough Goal: Script
Say the following to the group:
www.getwsodo.com
www.getwsodo.com
“While goal setting is an important step to becoming more successful, most of the goals we
set focus on improving our life in the moment. Get the house painted. Finish my sales report.
Clean out the laundry room. Lose 20 pounds.
“But what if — instead — you focused on a single goal that would up-level everything you
do ... from your career to your acquaintances to your income to your lifestyle.
“Wouldn’t that be a goal worth pursuing with passion? Wouldn’t that be something to focus
on a little each day until you achieved it?
“Think about it.
“If you were an independent sales professional and knew you could get a better territory, a
substantial bonus commission and maybe even a promotion once you landed a certain
number of customers, wouldn’t you work day and night to achieve that goal?
“And if you were the coach of a football team, whose typical strategy was to gain 4 yards on
every play, what if your players instead worked toward completing a breakthrough 60-yard
pass?
“If you were a stay-at-home mom whose entire lifestyle and finances would change by
earning an extra $1,000 a month, wouldn’t you pursue every possible opportunity until you
achieved that goal? That’s what we mean by a breakthrough goal.
“Something that changes your life, brings you new opportunities, gets you in front of the
right people and up-levels every activity, relationship or group you’re involved in.”
FACILITATOR TIP: Use your own breakthrough goal as an example whenever possible so you are able to
answer specific questions on how you made it happen.
EXAMPLE:
“For Jack Canfield, producing his very first audio program was not only a breakthrough
career goal—it became the catalyst that generated $100,000 in extra income per year.

Suddenly, as a professional speaker and trainer, he had a product to sell at the back of the
room. Soon after, Career-Track heard the audiotapes and offered to underwrite an entire
training program around the material, bringing Jack a substantial royalty. Eventually,
www.getwsodo.com
www.getwsodo.com
Nightingale-Conant heard and reviewed the audio program and offered Jack an attractive
contract.”

My Breakthrough Goal: Exercise
Say the following to the group:
www.getwsodo.com
www.getwsodo.com
“What might your single Breakthrough Goal be? Let the exercise below help you decide:
“Whether you believe you can achieve it or not, what one single goal in your career,
business, lifestyle or relationships would quantum leap you to the next level?
EXAMPLE
“I will sell 10,000 copies of the Train the Trainer Home Study Course—as the first step in
creating 1 million teachers and trainers of The Success Principles around the world in 2 years
or less.
“Now visualize how your life would change as a result of accomplishing this goal. What
would you be doing, seeing and feeling?”
EXAMPLE
“The Canfield Training Group would have all the resources (both financial and personnel) it
needed to operate as a world-class business. I would have the satisfaction of having created
an international community of trainers that would come together on a regular basis to
network, share and co-create new approaches to the work. It would also allow me to focus
my work more on one major initiative with intention and laser focus.”

"If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts,
liberates your energy, and inspires your hopes."
- Andrew Carnegie
