Task 1 - Setting an audacious goal

The first task is to set an audacious goal.

One way of doing this is to think of a few areas of life and then choose one area to focus on such as work and career.

Then think of what you'd ideally like to achieve in this area in a given time frame.

For example, if you are a sales person maybe you'd like to increase your sales commission by 10% over the next year.

Then think beyond.  Imagine you are a superstar in your area of focus.  Now imagine what kind of goal this superstar-you would set.

This could be your audacious goal.

When you have it, please type it below.

Once you complete this assignment, you can go to Task 2.

I love working with children, so I want to make children happy through my job and earn so much money I can do all the things I love to do like traveling with my kids and to be able to pay for them the best schools and teachers, going to the gym, having a great house with a big garden and swimming pool, a house at the beach, a dog, a great car, and …I want all this to happen in a year from now.

My audacious goal is to bust through every block that continues to stop me from creating a fully-functional and lucrative coaching practice. I want to earn $30,000 by the end of 2015 and then earn $75,000 in 2016.

    There’s a few things I’ve always wanted to achieve that are not related to work.

    Of course one of the things I want in life is a lot of money, but given that I’m just about to graduate from University and at the moment I’m completely ignorant of what it would take for me to be rich, and given that in order for me to go from that ignorance to having the necessary knowledge and making something happen with it I would probably need to learn a lot of different things and overcome a lot of different barriers, I’d like to choose something less complex and more straightforward.

    I love the Japanese language and culture, and I especially like the writing system. I would love to be able to speak the language fluently and to use its writing system proficiently, so I definitely want to achieve this goal. I’m currently a novice at it.

    If I was to set a “conventional” goal, it would probably be something like “I want to learn to speak the language at an okay level and know the basics of the writing system within the next 2 to 3 years”.

    If I was a “superstar” in the area of learning languages, my goal would be something like “I want to speak Japanese fluently and have the ability to use its writing system proficiently by the end of the next six months”.

    So yeah, that’s my audacious goal: I want to speak Japanese fluently and be proficient using its writing system, six months from now.

    I just created a new blog on WordPress a few days ago where I am writing about my life and living with SMA-II (a form of Muscular Dystrophy). It is my goal to be entertaining, to share knowledge and to offer encouragement to as many people as I can. I want to add as much value to the world as I can by inspiring others to step out of their comfort zones, by realizing their potential and through going and living the life they truly desire. As for goals, my audacious goal is to grow my base of loyal readers from 2,500 (if you count everyone from my WordPress blog, Twitter and Facebook) to 100,000 people and beyond by the end of this year. I’d also like to turn writing into a successful job where I can earn a healthy income. For anyone interested in viewing my blog and learning more about my life and goals, I invite you to visit https://rollingwithfrankie.wordpress.com/

    I want to commit in earnest to simplifying my life, identifying what is absolutely essential and developing a filter to quickly evaluate and avoid what is not.

    This would involve looking at my material possessions and where possible donating items which I have chosen to let go of, further to this I will make sure I do not introduce new unessential items into my life. This will also mean developing the people skills to respectfully reject offers of free “stuff” without hurting peoples feelings.

    I will need to efficiently evaluate the inward flow of information, particularly electronic and exclude myself from mailing lists, certain social media etc. presenting superfluous information.

    I will have to put strategies in place to prevent the situation returning to its current condition of information and material overload.

    If I were to become a “super star” at this I will free up my time as a result of limiting distractions to a minimum!
    I will expend much less mental energy dealing with all kinds of distractions, a valuable resource to be used elsewhere.

    The mundane essential activities of modern life will get done quickly and the time remaining (when not working) can be used to develop personal skills I value, spend time with loved ones, help my community as a volunteer and set new goals.

    I have always believed that personal change or transformation is possible. Up until I discovered the Lefkoe method, I did not know how to do it really.
    I believe that happy, confident people with audacious goals need freedom to act and want to enjoy life on Earth. I think that Steve Jobs or Lary Page would not be able to make their visions reality in a country with communist or highly prohibitive governments.

    I want to show that personal change is possible, that it is real. I want to inspire other millions of people who are living with their fears. Confident people won’t buy into promises of political leaders who are promising haven on Earth by rasing taxes and tough regulation which serves the interests of some private group of people and harms everybody else.
    I’m transforming my self on personal and professional level. On personal level, I want to become a life and dating coach. On professional level, I want to form a team (company) dedicated to find and distribute healthy products or information leading to healthy lifestyle. This includes distribution of Food with detailed traceability of origin.
    Later on, I want to use this personal and professional experiences and write books or theatre plays. There is loads of information about personal development in a non-fiction format. I want to write books or plays that show the nature of personal change. I want to show that it is possible. Make it real for people, .. convincing and tangible.

    definitely this this, I want to become the king of moldovia by helping it’s citizen to rearrange themselves and teach them how to make money and lose limiting beliefs. I know we will get anything we want once everyone or just a few experience life without limitation like I do now. It will not be long before I will firm form dm classes for children to help them grow life without limitations and later for grownups so that we together would build a country, a nation of entrepreneurs and innovatio. This is an achievable goal because I’ve already started working on it and I’m building two business models to test and suit the process for many but for some reason there is something that keeps me on the ground and now allowing me to fully take action.
    This has to be done no, I don’t have time to wait wait…and I want to race Elon musk

    May 26, 2015

    My large, audacious goal is to become a renowned leader in helping others create new lives from the ashes of their old ones, whether from divorce to newly single and enjoying a new lifestyle, from grief and loss to a new way of seeing the world as it applies to them, or from financial collapse to healthy recovery. It takes a different perspective, learning new ways to think and having the best and most current information your circumstances require.

    My issue is I can sabotage my own goals by allowing procrastination and overwhelm rule my life. I do that by immediately going to the greater goal without taking the steps to begin and work at the smaller goal first. I can easily see the big picture, but don’t take any of the steps to get there….and then I go into overwhelm coupled with the, “I’m not good enough,” attitude that lingers in the back of my mind.

    My goals are realistic and sustainable, helpful to a large population and yet….I just don’t get it done. If I was working for someone else, those goals would have been completed easily and quickly.

    My basic goals are to get the website and article writing done as well as begin two new blogs. Within three months have at least two articles written and published in the Huffington Post and the Blog and Coaching websites up and running.

    My goal is having the courage to leave an abusive relationship and be able to support myself. Not physical abuse but verbal. I am berated, demeaned, demoralized on a regular basis. Also, there is no hugging, kissing or sex. I would have left long ago but I am dependent upon him financially. I suspect that I am not the only woman in this situation. There are probably a lot of women in marriages who want to leave but feel trapped (the gilded cage).
    I’d like to leave my present relationship, stand on my own two feet and make at least $100,000 a year. I want to teach workshops and write books that will inspire other women in a similar situation to leave and then thrive.

It is commercial, but the focus is on providing value, not getting extraordinary rich and greedy. It is win-win, for everybody, for clients, employees, for the society in general. I want this company to produce competitive service or product, but with totally different mindset. No hidden fees or extra charges.

    I would really like to continue experiencing the success of overcoming my own false/negative beliefs procrastination and barriers. I would love to help the aged and vulnerable to feel supported and be able to accomplish things that they find frightening and overwhelming. Perhaps home visits like a personal trainer, including teaching them to be computer-literate to be able to tap in to other resources as I won’t be able to spread myself too thin when it gets off the ground and provides me with a more than adequate income. I would leave this open-ended as I have so many ideas that will benefit mankind but especially the ones who live with the most frustrations, fears and concerns. To help release them from living with such constant agony and restrictions ( perceived or real) at the most vulnerable part of their life and to go on to really live happily and with a feeling of contentment and satisfaction in their life. To be able to hold their heads up and say ‘I accomplished something today.’ I want all the resources available to me: training, finances, premises, equipment, vehicles, loyal and empathetic employees, personal and professional help etc. with no limits as to where this could go in a good and beneficial capacity.
