Dave Lukas - Lessons for Hannah 32: Lessons for Hannah: Success Secrets (Goals)
Hello Misfit Nation! Welcome to another edition of "Lessons for Hannah!" In November of 2016, we introduced a new format that we are putting alongside our regular episodes called “Lessons for Hannah.” Hannah is my daughter and one of the main inspirations for the Misfit Entrepreneur. I wanted to have a place where she could go and learn from her daddy and his Misfit friends throughout her life….even after I am gone. If you haven’t listened to the first episode of "Lessons for Hannah," I urge you to as it gives some more background and tells the amazing story of how Hannah came to be in our lives. "Lessons for Hannah" are short, very useful, and sometimes comical lessons, that I have learned which I want to share with you and give to Hannah to help in your lives. Because I want Hannah to have these for her life, I’m going to speak as though I am talking directly to her. These episodes are a lot of fun and if you think there is a lesson that we should include in these episodes, please don’t hesitate to send it over to us at [email protected]. We’d love to share it. This week’s Lesson for Hannah Hannah, honey. I want to talk to you about a secret of the most successful. As you go through life and meet people that are very successful at what they do and seem to know exactly what they need to do to stay that way and keep reaching higher levels, I want you to ask them about their goals…because I bet, they will have them written down somewhere. There has been so much studied on this topic over the years, but it simply comes down to this – those that write their goals down and make plans to achieve them are much more successful than those that don’t. One of my favorite quotes, that I hope you will also come to like, is from the famous Greek philosopher, Aristotle, who said “Man is a goal seeking animal…his life only has meaning if he is reaching out and striving for his goals.” Your mother and I are living proof that this is true. Every year, we take time to write down our goals and share them with each other. It is amazing how just doing this exercise can make things so clear and give you direction. A question you may have is, “That’s great dad, but where do I start? Do you a process for setting goals?” The answer is yes and you will find it in the book I wrote a long time ago, The Ten Year Career. You can also find a video of me discussing it and some materials to help you online at the link in the show notes page of this lesson. But, and this important, I want you to understand, no, I encourage you, to come up with your own process of things. Use my process as a base, but add your own flavor to it…make it your own. Hannah – setting and writing down my goals has been one of the best habits that I have ever created in my life and I know it will help you on your journey tremendously. So, write your goals down, go after them, and turn your dreams into reality. I can’t wait to watch you do it. I love you, Daddy.

One of the biggest secrets of success is to write down your goals and make plans to achieve them.
|
Goals are like beacons to guide you and your subconscious on your journey to get what you want.
|
Making plans to achieve your goals helps to break up the steps to get them into smaller chunks. Think of your plans like the mile markers along the highway. Every one that you reach, you are getting closer to your destination.
