Call them goals if you want. That seems to be a more popular word these days, but decide a few areas in which you want to see improvement, then put some goals in place to help you get there. To help you get started, let me share some thoughts on setting goals you can actually reach. Make sure you can make the goal measurable.

Another way I might ask this question: What are the goals you have for vacation? 5 goals of vacation for the leader: Rest. Rest should be a huge goal of taking a vacation. Making time to play – with whatever you enjoy doing – is a great goal for vacations. A great vacation goal is to take time to dream.

Keep in mind, I can’t write your plan for you, but these may be tools to fuel your thoughts towards personal development. Where am I now?

Friends of ours had that as a goal of theirs, so we adopted it. Our overall goal was simple – visit all 50 states together. Since then we’ve planned many of our vacations around trying to get to all 50 states. Cheryl needs a plan, so we needed some criteria in her mind for the visits. (I’m Pray for me.)

Our team has no clear purpose, no planned goals and objectives, and no follow up system of accountability. We hold mistakes against people rather than using their mistakes as a learning experience to make them and the team better. We limit the control of decisions made to a few people – even worse – only the leader.

I was at the last church I served for six years, and I started planning my succession the week I arrived. In fact, in the last church my wife and I served, God seemed to make it clear we were there for one primary goal: “To position the church so it could exist another 100 years.” I worked the plan already in place.

If you have an idea or goal of where you want to go, and a plan of action coupled with discipline, you are more likely to achieve your desired results. I also believe simple is good…so for the next few days, I want to offer segments of developing a one-year life plan. So, spend some time today and list your goals.

I’m confident the main reason most do not keep them and many refuse to make them is that they never put a plan of action together or applied enough discipline that would ensure success. Yesterday you were asked to list three to five goals you have for the new year. Are you working the plan? How are you doing?

I know so many leaders who simply handle things as they come up rather than work with a plan. Spending time planning the week will make the whole week more productive. Be picky with your time allotment based again on your end priorities and goals. Plans should not be implemented and then ignored. Schedule personal time.

They also careful plan what they say; knowing their words are powerful. You would rarely if ever catch them “going off” in a meeting – unless they had planned to do so for strategic reasons. A wise leader has learned that reaching a goal is worth the struggles to get there. Wise leaders use their words to bless others.
