Learn to use strategies that lead to success almost every time? Find meaning and passion in even the most boring jobs? Ultimately move your career in the direction of your strengths and passions for long term success? Now you can! By using basic goal setting techniques, you can learn to recognize your strengths and passions, become more effective in your current job, have more energy during the day, and yes, live the life you have always wanted. Trends in the workplace tell us that Americans work more than any industrialized country. At the same time, more and more of us are disengaged in our jobs. This is a time to not follow the crowd! Why Goal Setting? Study after study has shown that the large majority of successful people in our world are consistent goal setters. They have learned to focus their mental energy on the things that move them closer to their goals. As the pace of the world increases exponentially, the number of messages trying to gain our attention is at an all time high. Multi-Tasking, a term not even heard of three generations ago, has become our normal way of living. Daily goal setting aims to focus our attention on the things that matter, blocking out the obstacles that get in our way. Successful goal setters have learned to harness the immense power of the mind to radically and quickly move in any direction they choose. I used to think these people were just more disciplined, harder working, and, to be blunt, smarter. While they may be all of these things, the simple truth is that they have learned to focus their time and energy. How do they do it? Are they really more gifted in the motivation department? Absolutely not! Successful goal setters are successful because they have learned simple but powerful goal setting techniques that could be taught (and I'm not exaggerating) to a four year old. Basically, they've learned a system. Now, you can use the same system that successful people use day in and day out to produce consistent powerful results in any area of your life. 3 Amazingly Simple Steps to Finding Passion in Your Career Step #1: Recognize the Role Passion and Purpose Have in Your Career Successful business people from all generations are amazingly consistent in their view on the role passion and purpose play in long term success. Step #2: The Easiest Way to Find Your Passion and Purpose is to Bring More of You into Your Job. The biggest travesty in Corporate America today is that people feel that they need to "sell out" and become corporate to succeed. They need to sacrifice their personalities and become "cookie cutter" to be successful. Nothing is further from the truth! What Corporate America needs today is more of you, not less. With the pace of business getting faster everyday, companies cannot afford to do business today like they did yesterday. They need to be constantly evolving. If they are not constantly getting new ideas on how to get business, they are falling behind. If they are not getting these new ideas from people like you and me, where are they getting them from? Bringing more of you into your job is absolutely the surest way to success, but first you have to learn the rulesÖ. Step # 3: Learn How to Become a Consistent Goal Setter Goal Setting is a skill and like any other skill, the more you practice it, the better you get. In this seminar, you will not only learn the fundamentals to basic goal setting, but also the most common obstacles to not achieving your goals. The four biggest obstacles to not setting goals are: Having a non-Goal Setting Mindset Fear of Other People's Opinions Fear of Failure Not Knowing How to Set Goals Learn basic SMART goals. Any expert on goal setting would agree these work. Once you learn the basics, learn how HAPPY goals will move you to finding passion and purpose in your work life.

Bob Garvey is a professional speaker, trainer, and author. He is currently a National Sales Manager for a Fortune 500 company, training individuals daily on goal setting techniques to help them find their strengths and passions. Bob's corporate background is in sales and marketing, having held positions at all selling levels over the past ten years. Perhaps most importantly, Bob was not born a Goal Setter. In high school and college, the only thing Bob knew for sure about Goal Setters was that he did not want to become one. Goal Setters to Bob meant people who were so focused on achieving their goals that they didn't care who they stepped on or who they hurt. Through experience with Goal Setting, Bob has discovered that you can use goal setting for any purpose whatsoever. Bob works daily with individuals who strive to not only find meaning and purpose in their work through goal setting, but also develop goals to become better husbands and wives, better parents, and better friends. A few additional things about Bob: Graduated from Cornell University with a degree in Business Administration in 1994 Lives in his hometown of Lancaster, Pennsylvania with his wife Kim and kids Bobby, Jack, and Maggie Has run three marathons (none of them very fast) Now is the time to act.
