Part 1. Setting Up Your Starting Goal: Impossible

The document provides guidance on setting an achievable goal for a workshop on achieving goals. It recommends choosing a goal rated 5-8 on a 10-point difficulty scale. Goals that are too easy or difficult are not optimal for learning the techniques. Participants are instructed to define their goal and any additional characteristics in detail. This includes setting a deadline and rating the goal's difficulty. Testing one's current state involves rating affirmations about determination, optimism, clarity of actions needed, and more on a -10 to +10 scale. Setting an appropriately challenging goal and accurately assessing one's mindset are presented as important first steps toward achieving one's aims.

Part 1.

SETTING UP YOUR STARTING GOAL

Before you start a serious work on achieving your goals, you should define the goal you
want to work on.
What kind of a goal should you choose for your work on this workshop?
You can use the Quick Goals S.O. techniques to accomplish any goal.
For practical exercises during this program choose a goal that ranges from 5-8 on
difficulty scale. (0 being the difficulty of a goal that will naturally be accomplished
without any effort from you, and 10 of a goal that is practically impossible to
accomplish.)
It is important to choose a goal of appropriate difficulty while learning techniques of
Quick Goals. System is simple, but in its mastering there is an inevitable learning curve.
Select a goal of medium difficulty to use while you are first learning the techniques. A
too-easy goal won’t show the true power of system, and an impossibly difficult goal
may derail your progress. This is because your internal barriers could become so
troublesome as to make you quit before getting the necessary proficiency and confidence
in the system.
So, for the work during this program, choose a goal that is fairly ambitious, but not
impossible.
When you achieve the goal set in this program, you will master the system in such a way,
and attain such confidence in it, that you will be able to set (and achieve) any
"impossible" goal you can think of!
Of course, if you one of participants who has already attended Spiritual Option or
PRECISION workshop, you probably already know what is the goal you want to work
on.
Remark:
Sometimes participants come to me and say that they don’t know what goal should they
work on. This is usually matter of emotional charge connected to the things that should
be their natural goals.
If you were totally clear about your goal, you wouldn’t need any “goal achievement
system”. You would naturally behave in accord with that goal.
It’s natural to have some charge before you start with the program (and to be a bit
uncertain about what you really want). And if you have a lot of emotional charge on the
goals you really want, you end up feeling that you don’t know what your goals are.
If you don’t know what should be your goal, just choose one of areas in your life you are
not happy about, and think about the change you want in this area. Take this change as
your initial goal, and apply all QUICK GOALS techniques on that.
As we remove the charge, what is your real goal will became clearer, and you will
naturally continue working on it.
This being said, let’s set your initial goal.
The first step on your way to goal accomplishment is to write down what you want to
achieve.

1. Write down what you want to achieve.

2. Define the deadline for achievement of your goal.

3. Are there additional characteristics for this goal?

Define in detail what characteristics achievement of your goal should have. For example,
if your goal is to get a job that is paid better than your current job, first thing to define
what is desired salary ($1 more would make it a better paid job, but this is probably not
what you are aiming for).
So, in that case first you would define desirable salary.
Then, you may decide that you would like to feel creative and challenged while doing
your job. State this as a additional desirable goal characteristic.
You may also want to have nice friendly atmosphere in your working place, and to work
with friendly people, who you really like.
And so on.
It would be easiest to find all these characteristics by thinking about your past
experiences in this area (for example if you had to travel by train and were loosing 4
hours every day in your previous job, desired characteristic could be to find a job that is
not more than 20 minutes away from your home. Or to have a job that will include a use
of company car.)
Think about that goal you want to achieve and define it as precisely as you can (try to
state all desired characteristics that you assumed as understood when you were thinking
about your goal).
The more precisely you define your goal now, the easier will all further steps be.
EXAMPLE:
One of my clients who worked on creating his own business ended with following
additional characteristics of his initial goal:

 My personal income have to be at least 5000$ every month (not income of the
business, but my personal income as an owner of the company).
 I need to create this business in a way that will provide me with a lot of free time
(to work less than 4 hour a day with free weekends and at least four 2-week
holidays every year.
 My business needs to be organized in a way to make me feel positive and creative
while working on my business goals.
 I need to enjoy my work at least as much as I was when I was studying school of
movie and theater arts 5 years ago.
 People that work with me need to have a sense of humor, to be funny, creative,
and easygoing.
 My business will allow me to travel and meet a lot of new people.

(By the way, after a work with QUICK GOALS and few months of individual work he
achieved his goal and now he has his own travel agency (and earns a lot more than he set
for his goal at the beginning).
4. Rate the difficulty of your goal
Now that you have it written down, and you have set up the deadline for its
accomplishment, rate the difficulty of your goal.
How difficult is it for a person with my resources, in a situation like mine to accomplish
such goal? (Goal which is so easy that it will be achieved without any effort has a
difficulty 0, and the one that is almost impossible to achieve is +10)

DIFFICULTY of my goal (0-10): _______


Part 2. TESTING YOUR CURRENT STATE IN
REGARD TO YOUR GOAL
The main purpose of QUICK GOALS is to help you achieve your life goals by improving
your inner states and your behaviors.
To be able to do this, it is necessary to assess your current state accurately.
If you want to change the situation in a certain area of your life, it is necessary to realize
what the situation in that area is now.
So, at the beginning of your practice of QUICK GOALS, let’s test your state of mind in
regard to your goal.
This test has three parts:
1. Optimal state affirmation test
2. Negative personal traits test
3. Final rating

OPTIMAL STATE AFFIRMATIONS TEST

Some states of mind are better suited for achieving your goals than others.
The next set of affirmations (positive sentences) covers the most important characteristics
of one's state of mind that is optimal for achieving goals quickly and harmoniously.

OPTIMAL STATE AFFIRMATIONS

1. I am completely determined to achieve this goal by... (The deadline you've set for
your goal).
2. Achievement of this goal is quite natural for me.
3. I am completely optimistic about reaching this goal.
4. I am full of enthusiasm for this goal.
5. I know exactly what I must do in the following months to attain my goal.
6. I promptly DO whatever is necessary to achieve my goal.

Test yourself for each of these affirmations.


How true is each of them for you (in regard to your goal)?
Rate each affirmation on a scale of –10 to +10. (+10 = "This affirmation is 100% true for
me”, and -10 = "I am not such a person at all. The complete opposite statement is true for
me".).

Testing OPTIMAL STATE AFFIRMATIONS

What I want you to do is to rate to what degree is each of these affirmations true for you
(in regard of your goal) on the scale of –10 to +10.
For example, if the goal you set in the previous chapter is "to find my perfect emotional
partner, and to create a perfect relationship with him/her", you should do the following:
Think about that goal.
Feel that you are going to try to achieve this before the deadline. And then pay attention
to the first affirmation: "I am completely determined to find my perfect emotional partner
before..."
How much is this statement true for you?
If you are absolutely determined to get your perfect partner and create this perfect
relationship with him (or her) before that date, then you would rate it as a +10.
If you don't have even an ounce of determination regarding that goal, rate it –10.
If you feel that you are pretty determined, but have some minor doubts about being able
to achieve it, it's probably +7 or +8.
If you are willing to try, but not feeling much determination, it's in the neighborhood of
–4.
You get the picture.
Affirmation 2 is about being the kind of person for whom achievement of such a goal is
natural. Are you such a person? Are you a person for whom achieving such a perfect
relationship with the perfect partner is a natural thing? (Again: rate it on the –10 to +10
scale).
Affirmation 3 is about being optimistic (not in your life generally, but regarding this
goal). If you feel that you will probably achieve your goal before this date, you ARE
optimistic. Accordingly, your rating will be high. If you feel that this is probably not
going to happen, it will be low.
Affirmation 4 is about enthusiasm. Are you ready and willing to go and search for that
perfect partner of yours? Are you ready to start creating that relationship? If you have
really set your mind on it, your enthusiasm rating is high. If you are lazy and lacking
energy to do it, it's low.
Affirmation 5 is about how clear you are concerning specific actions that you must
undertake for achieving your goal. If you know the exact steps you will take from today
to the final achievement, it's +10. If you have no idea at all, it's –10.
Finally, affirmation 6 is about your readiness to perform the necessary actions at once. If
you are ready and willing to do them right now it's +10. If you would rather drag your
feet about it, it's negative.
When you're done, your list should look something like this:
1. I am completely determined to achieve this goal by 1 st of July 2012.
Rating +5.
2. Achievement of this goal is quite natural for me.
Rating –3.
3. I am completely optimistic about this goal.
Rating +2
4. I am full of enthusiasm for this goal.
Rating +7.
5. What I must do next month to achieve my goal is completely clear to me.
Rating –4.
6. I promptly DO whatever is necessary to accomplish my goal.
Rating –7.
Pretty straightforward, right?

Pay special attention to the deadline

While rating how true a given affirmation is for you, be sure you keep the time frame for
the goal in mind.
Are you really optimistic about reaching your goal before the date that you've set for its
accomplishment?
For example, maybe you feel that you are a person for whom it is natural to earn double
of what you are earning right now.
But are you a person for whom it's natural to increase it so much before the deadline
you've set?
These are two different things.

PRACTICAL EXERCISE:

Rate how much is each affirmation true for you in regard to your goal (and the
deadline you have set). Do it right away.
NEGATIVE PERSONAL TRAITS TEST

The second part of this test concerns characteristics you exhibit in the area of our goal.
Ask yourself the following question:
According to my previous behavior, what negative characteristics have I shown in this
area in the past? (Which of my personal traits and behaviors blocked me in achieving this
goal before?)
This is the list that one of my clients created when he was working on starting his own
business:

EXAMPLE LIST OF NEGATIVE CHARACTERISTICS

1. Reluctance to confront people, and protect my interests (rating –8).


2. Laziness (rating –2).
3. Procrastination (rating –4).
4. Lack of motivation (rating –7).
5. Giving up easily because of the feeling that I don't deserve to be super-
successful (rating –1).

What I want you to do is to take a careful look at your life and meditate for a few minutes
on your previous behavior in the area of your goal.
Why didn't you succeed in achieving it before?
Which characteristics of yours have blocked the achievement of this goal in the past?
As you identify your negative characteristics, write them down and rate them on the –10
to +10 scale.
If the negative characteristic that you are rating is very pronounced in your behavior, rate
it –10. If the opposite positive trait is true of you, rate it +10 (of course, this will not
happen as you're examining your negative personal traits).
For example:
If your negative personal trait is lack of motivation, than ratings should be as follows:
If you are a person who is never able to motivate herself to do the things necessary for the
achievement of your goals, rating of that trait will be –10.
If you are able to motivate yourself, but only when it's something really important, your
rating would be approximately +2.
And if you were really 100% motivated concerning this goal in the past, your rating
should be +9 or +10.
You should rate all your negative traits related to your goal in the same way.

Creating your list of negative traits

Now make your own list.


Remember, the question is: According to your previous behavior, which negative
characteristics blocked you in achieving your goal in the past?
Meditate upon your life goal for a little while.
Why didn't you succeed before?
Write down one of your problematic traits and rate it on the –10 to +10 scale.
Then meditate some more and identify and rate the next negative trait, and so on.
Most lists have 3-5 different negative characteristics, but you should list all characteristic
you consider important.
3. FINAL RATING

Now look at the two previous parts of this test. Imagine that you don't even know the
person who has done them.
Would a person who has such thoughts and feelings succeed in achieving this goal before
that deadline?

Example

A person feels that:


- She is not completely determined to achieve her goal (rating +4).
- The achievement of such goal is not really natural for her (rating –2).
- She is moderately optimistic about that goal (rating +6).
- She lacks the energy and enthusiasm for working on her goal (rating –1)
- She doesn't really know how to achieve it (rating –7).
- She usually doesn't promptly take actions that she knows should be taken
(rating-3).
If that person has shown the following characteristics in the area of the goal in the past
1. Reluctance to confront people, and protect her interests (rating –8).
2. Low self-esteem (rating –2).
3. Procrastination (rating –4).
4. Inability to create a workable plan and stick to it (rating –7).
5. Giving up easily (rating –1).

Her probability of achieving that goal wouldn't be very high. (This person’s assessment
was that the probability for achieving his goal was only 10%)
Now, assess your test.
Look at your optimal state affirmations’ ratings and your negative traits list.
What are the chances that the person who's done that test would succeed in achieving
her/his life goal before the deadline?
