Clarifying Values
Values – those things in life that are the most meaningful to you right now.
According to Milton Rokeach, a value is “an enduring belief that a specific mode of conduct or end-state of existence is personally or socially preferable to an opposite or converse mode of conduct or end-state of existence.”
Two general types of values are contained within an individual’s value system: instrumental values and terminal values.
Instrumental values are the “hows” of goal setting—the standards of behavior by which we achieve desired ends.
Terminal values are the “whats”—the end-states or goals that we would like to achieve during our lifetime.
Personal values are also tangible and intangible.
Tangible values are things that you can see, feel or hold.
Intangible values deal with concepts rather than things, consist of ideals you wish to strive toward or pursue.

17. What motivated you to make the change?
How did it feel?
What motivated you to make the change?
What steps did you take to make the goal a reality?
Did you encounter obstacles along the way, and if so, how did you overcome them?
Why is goal setting important?
Morale/Esteem – gives you an internal reinforcement of your personal abilities.
Purpose/direction – formalizes dreams and wishes, defines the destination point, an action plan gives our life purpose and direction. These statements provide us with short-term motivation and long-term vision.
Motivation – Goal setting helps us to build internal momentum.
Productivity – gives a way to measure our success, provides balance and perspective to our decisions about how to allocate our time and resources, reducing the waste of time, money and energy.

18. What about the opposite … Have you set a goal but did not meet it?
Did anything in the chapter help you to understand why you weren’t successful?
Key Behaviors for Effective Goal Setting
Being realistic – honest about skills and abilities and in evaluating all related conditions needed to attain goals.
Being Positive – ability to maintain in the face of adversity is a key success factor in goal setting.
Starting small – Begin with smaller, simpler, more manageable goals.
Taking full responsibility – set your goals with the understanding that you have the power to direct your energy towards personal productivity.
Persevering – the ability to maintain strong forward motion.
Overcoming obstacles:
Visualize the outcome.
Strive for performance, not outcomes.
Develop a support network.
Limit the number.
Allow for setbacks.
Be honest with yourself.
Reward small accomplishments.
Don’t lose sight of the big picture.
Revisit the process.

20. Would you describe this person as an effective goal setter?
What characteristics do they have or behaviors do they exhibit that represent either positive or negative goal setting?
Writing Effective Goals
Begin with creating written goal statements—the aims or the targets you want to achieve, every goal statement should be accompanied by objectives or an action plan which specifies the strategies or means for reaching your ends.
Use “SMART” system to write effective goals. SMART refers to a goal that is specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time-bound.
Specific – including as many details as possible, being focused and incremental, giving clarity to your direction and purpose.
Measurable – provide a means to measure progress, a way to measure actual performance against desired performance standards.
Attainable/Achievable – actionable, believable goal, need to have the resources and capabilities required to attain a goal.
Realistic – consideration for capabilities, have realistic deadlines
Time-bound – specific deadline for meeting each goal.

21. Do you ever feel like you have too much to do?
Instead of doing what you "should," how many of you watch TV, eat or surf the Net?
How do you decide what's most important (and not just the most fun or best way to pass the time away) and prioritize your days/weeks/time?
