Getting Started Develop a desire to achieve the goal. Write your goal down. Identify resources. Deadline your goal. Make a plan! Get a clear mental picture of the goal already accomplished. Back your plan with persistence and resolve.

Getting Started Write down 10 things you want to accomplish with your Rotary Club in your year. Identify the 3 to 5 most important things and write them on your “Goal Card.” Refer to your “Goal Card” often and be ready to adapt goals as circumstances change. Instead of just wishing, ask yourself how and what you can do to make these things happen.

Achieving Your Goal Having set sharp, clearly defined goals, you can take pride in the completed achievements. The process of achieving goals gives your club confidence that the club will be able to achieve even higher and more challenging goals.

Achieving Your Goal Develop action steps. Determine who is responsible for each task. Establish a timeline. Determine criteria for measuring progress. Use resources and tools. Motivate committee or person. Evaluate progress and learn from experience.

Achieving Your Goal If you achieved the goal too easily, make your next goals harder. If the goal took a long time to achieve, make the next goals a little easier. If you learned something that would lead you to change other goals, do so. Share your goals with other Rotary Clubs.

Celebrate Your Goal Achievements When you have achieved a goal, take the time to enjoy the satisfaction of having done so. If the goal was a significant one, reward your club appropriately.

Celebrate Your Goal Achievements Suffer less from stress and anxiety. Concentrate better. Show more self-confidence. Perform better. Are happier and more satisfied. Save time in their busy lives. Research has shown that people who use goal setting effectively:

What goal are you going to set today? What goals can you set for your Rotary year which will lift your club to new levels? Take some time this week-end and THINK about it! THEN - JUST DO IT! GOAL SETTING JUST DO IT!

Summary Start now to dream about your goals. Have a simple, effective goal setting process. Have a simple strategy to achieve your club’s goals. Celebrate your successes. Share your successes.
