Neil Asher - How To Write Amazing Goals
Ok! So we’ve all been there – you’re doing a session 1 and you’re brainstorming your first goal – before you know it, you’re 45 minutes into the session and still brainstorming the first goal – you become so aware of the time and even more aware that the DVD’s we all watched show 3 goals being set in session 1… then what happens, the feelings of self doubt creep in… the shoulds creep in…. you should have done the session quicker, you should have been able to set more than one goal… self doubt, fear and worry creep into your thoughts and before you know it, you’re thinking the old familiar chestnut … ‘I’m not good enough at this! I can’t do it!’ Neil Asher
So what if I showed you a way to brainstorm a brilliant goal in just 10 minutes using 5 superb, really amazingly effective questions that will tap into your clients highest values…. Want to know more? If so, read on.
First of all, pre-frame your client and tell your client that you’re going to spend 10 minutes brainstorming the goal (structure their expectations!) then start to ask the following questions.
How To Write Amazing Goals Question number 1 – open their mind to the limitless possibilities of the world!
EG: Imagine that I am a genie in a lamp and you’ve rubbed me and now I will grant you 3 wishes, one for each goal, what would your first wish be?
This question will allow you to find out the specific information (ie: I want to be earning x amount of pounds doing……...)
Follow up question could be, imagine I’m being super nice and letting you include other things in your goal what else would you want for this area?
How To Write Amazing Goals Question number 2 – Tap into the emotions Neil Asher
How would you feel if you had that?
Give me 5 feelings!
This question starts to tap into the clients values – ie what’s important to them? We all DO something in order to FEEL something! Whether that feeling be confidence, success, freedom etc etc
So for each ‘thing’ that the first question elicits ask this question.
E.g. Neil asher
how would you feel if you were a size 10?
How would you feel if you could fit into that swimsuit?
Get the idea?
How To Write Amazing Goals Question number 3 and 4 – designed to tap further into the clients values Neil asher
What would this give you? Find out what feeling this way gives them …. Eg: Feeling successful would makes me feel worthy.
Why is that important to you?
If I feel worthy, then I will feel that people will love me!
This is the golden nugget….. you have found THEIR HIGHEST, TRUEST VALUE!
In this case, it is love!
BINGO!!!!
Now all you need to do is put it all together and formulate the goal, which brings me to question 5.
How To Write Amazing Goals Question 5 – Allows you to pull the goal together. Neil Asher
What’s the 5 most important sentences that you have written down there?
Then take these sentences, fit them together link the sentences with the word ‘and’ make sure they’re written present tense and then formulate the goal!
Easy!!
For Example:
It is November 8th 2012 and I am working full time with children in a school earning £20k per year and I feel completely amazing. I am now a fully qualified teacher and I am so proud of my achievement. I know I am living true to my life’s purpose and I feel fulfilled and free. I have so much self confidence and the love I give to these children everyday comes back to me 100 fold. Life is truly beautiful!
Another great question to ask when the goal is written is this:
What is the one sentence in this goal that when you read it will anchor all the feelings and the inspiration of the whole goal?
Get them to write this sentence down so that when they think of this sentence, they think of the whole goal!!
Amazingly easy way To Write Amazing Goals eh!!
