Many people set goals and write them down every year.

Not everyone is happy with the results they achieve.

This year I’ve decided to share my goal setting method along with my current goals publicly on my blog.  There are a few reasons.

1. I like feed back from others that might read them
2. I find if I share them publicly I’m more likely to preform and be a accountable.

Fore several years now I’ve built my goals around a method I learned from someone in 2007.

For a truly balanced and happy life your must set goals and grow in five key areas I call.

THE FIVE “F” FACTORS

They Are: Faith Fitness Family Friends & Finance. If each one of these factors is cared for, nurtured and in a consistent GROWTH pattern.  You’ll see the effects in your life.

HERE IS HOW I DEFINE THE FIVE “F” FACTORS

Faith –

To believe in a high purpose or calling other than yourself.  Faith and spirituality can range from many things.

Some like going to church others sit on top of a hill, some will spend extra time in community service or discovering something new…

To me Faith is the pursuit of an unwavering belief or calling that is much larger than anything else in your life.  This is also a factor that many struggle to find or ever connect with.

Fitness –

Fitness does not mean you have to be in impeccable shape.  But it does include time you spend on your body.

What are you eating, how much time you spend at the bar or at the gym, how much time you spend hiking or outdoors, eating and generally treating your body so it will continue to best serve you.

Without fitness the other Factors don’t really mater because you will be sick and lethargic

Family –

Obviously this is the connection with your spouse, parents, kids, dog and all others that you consider family.

These are the MOST important relationships in your life and must be nurtured, worked on and grown every day.

For most people family is one of the most important factors to how we are developed and why we do what we do.

Fun –

Fun can be what you want it to be.  Friends, vacation, daily activities, laughing, eating out, things you enjoy…

Life is meant to be enjoyed and full of new experiences.  We should focus on doing things that are new and exciting… thinks that we usually think of and say “someday” should fall in this category.

These are people who you may not see or hear from for several months or years but whom you would still likely stand in front of a train for.

Finance –

This Factor falls into, investing, business, work, wealth and security financially.

Money is likely the least overall important of all of the “F” factors for most people however when this factor is healthy all of the others are much easier to manage.

Now when writing down your goals it’s very simple.

1. Write down 1 or 2 things you’d like to grow and improve on in each Factor.
2. Write down WHY you want to be better at each item
3. Write down the basic daily ACTION ITEM you must commit to in order achieve the goal.

FOCUS on TAKING action on those small action item daily, execute the action and take note of the results… if you are not on track for growth, re write or re visit your action plan and change it as necessary until you start to see results.

The last Factor in order to completely explode your goals in all of the ares above is

THE 10X FACTOR

The 10x factor is not for everyone. It is only for those that truly wan to THINK BIG.

For me however;  The first year I implemented it I created more abundance in all of the Five “F” areas than I ever had before.  To go 10X on your goals is NOT easy and it can be a daily struggle.
