Unleash Your Potential: A 10-Year Goal Setting Journey

Create a numbered list of at least 50 things you want to experience, achieve, or acquire in the next 10 years. Consider various areas of life: career, relationships, travel, personal development, health, finances, and benevolence. Don't censor yourself; write down everything that comes to mind. Abbreviate where you can and use code for private entries.

“what do you want in the next 10 years I want you to make a list of at least 50 items now this is not what you think you can get this is what you want”

Review each item on your list and assign it a timeframe: 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, or 10 years. This helps you visualize the path to achieving each goal. It is ok to estimate, but don't spend more than 10-20 seconds on each

“I want you to look at each item on this list you've made and give each item a number the number being a 135 or 10”

Count how many goals you have in each of the four timeline categories (1 year, 3 years, 5 years, 10 years). This provides insights into your short-term vs. long-term thinking.

“now go through and count them how many ones how many threes how many fives how many tens and then just make a little list of those numbers how many ones threes fives 10”

From your list of one-year goals, choose the four that are most important to you right now.

“jot down the question on your list of one-year goals which are the four most important”

For each of your top four one-year goals, write a paragraph explaining why it is important to you. Focus on the deeper meaning and purpose behind each goal.

“The question is why why are those four goals important to you because the why is very important”

Write a description of the kind of person you must become to achieve all that you want. Consider aspects like wisdom, strength, health, skills, and reputation. Share your persona with an accountability partner.

“what kind of person must I become to achieve all I want”

Write a commitment contract with your accountability partner, outlining the steps you will take to embody your defined persona. Include a loss aversion element (e.g., donate to a cause you dislike if you fail to meet your commitments).

Develop a habit of celebrating significant accomplishments, both individual and family goals. This reinforces positive momentum and creates excitement for future goals.

“celebrate a significant accomplishment or it doesn't have to be that significant if it's important to you you know it doesn't have to be world changing or lifechanging if it's just a goal that's really important to you you finally reached it celebrate”

Be mindful of the potential downsides of pursuing your goals. Ensure that you don't compromise your values, relationships, or well-being in the process.

“beware of what you become in pursuit of what you want”

Meet with your accountability partner to discuss progress, challenges, and successes. Share your goals and provide/receive feedback. Agree on next steps.
