Course Description

Goals are a key tool of any high achiever. Many have heard about their importance but few really know how to fully utilize them.

Whether you are new to Goal Setting or have used Goals successfully in the past, my goal is to provide you with a course that will be both comprehensive and will cover all the bases, but is still easy to implement.

You will learn not only how to write your goals that will get you great results, but also why most fall short and how to go beyond setting goals, to achieving them!

In our first section you will learn the importance and power of goal setting, including the four ways in which goals help you improve your performance.

In section two we will cover The Common Pitfalls of Goal Setting. Here you will learn where people go wrong with Goal Setting and how you can avoid the most common mistakes.

After we have reviewed the most common mistakes I will walk you through step by step how to write powerful goals that will bridge the gap between where you are right now and where you want to be in the future.

Our last section is the most critical and where most people go wrong. It is ok to have goals, but they only benefit you if it changes your behavior and your results. In this powerful section you will learn why setting goals and achieving goals require different skill sets. I will show you how human motivation works and help you tap into the fuel that will help you persistent until you accomplish your goals. I will also help you align your beliefs and increase your odds of overcoming the inevitable obstacles along the way.

Come with me on a journey to change your life for the better!

For more than 15 years my passion and my career has been leading organizations and helping students and clients reach their full potential in their careers and their businesses.

I am a life-long learner that is fascinated with how the human mind works, as well as the science and psychology behind human behavior and success.

I believe everybody has untapped potential inside of them and is destined for great things. My mission is to help as many people as possible get out of their own way and get on with living their best possible life.

Talent is overrated! We are simply the result of our habits, thought patterns and behaviors on a daily basis. Change those and everything changes.

The concepts taught in the course are simple yet profound. This course is sure to help me in setting and achieving goals on the professional as we as personal front, as the techniques described are fundamental and not domain specific. Overall loved the course and I am actually hoping to get in touch with the instructor for next level 1-1 coaching if Josh still provides that.

By Susanna T on 9/25/2020

I really enjoyed this course. The subject may be familiar, but Josh Paulsen takes it several levels deep and delivers pretty close to a failproof system for you to actually reach your goals rather than just making a plan. If you want to discover what to focus on, how to do it, and, get a backup plan in the process, I highly recommend this course. If you do the exercises as they're presented you will succeed, no doubt.

Very practical, and hands-on course. The instructor really knows his subject matter very well. I enjoyed the course, and it was straight to the point without any fluff.

Really good look at goal setting! Will be using this for clients I work with. Only dropped a star for the lack of attention to detail on spelling.

By Bhupal Singh on 4/3/2020

I really like the way of explaining . It was more then the normal Goal setting lecture. Very practical and insightful. I somehow would like to further understand the concept of Toward Value and Away Value. I feel its really important but still trying to understand it completely.

This is very helpful for setting SMARTER goals.

By María de los Ángeles del Carmen Berman B on 1/6/2020

The course was so clear and easy to follow. The voice of the facilitator motivated me to continue working on my goals development. Thank you very much!

By Petr Foltera on 3/11/2018

I need to integrate to the real life... But right now, I think, it is very well made tutorial, with a lot of practical advices: "How to make your dreams and goals come true!"

By Dan Rowen on 7/1/2017

Great information and relevant. Can't wait to put these steps into practice and see the results! Clear explanation and examples on what goals are, how to set and prioritize your goals and the steps required on how to achieve them - with success!

By Devin Sanders on 2/16/2016

Definitely a worth while investment. This course breaks down the who, why, when and how to goal setting. We've all heard about how important setting goals are to short and long term success. This module provides in comprehensive detail why setting these goals are important to us all. Also, the instructor gives great tips on how to get started setting goals. All around a must watch if you would like to get that kick start to career success.
