Summary

What were you taught about setting goals as a kid? If we’re taught anything, we’re usually taught to set goals around New Year’s. But now, as we head into the last quarter of the year, is actually the perfect time to start considering our goals for the upcoming year. Gary Keller and Jay Papasan show us that, if you want to have great success, you have to have a bigger view of time — and you have to understand that the actions you take today may not have results until days or months down the road. So, in this episode, Jay and Wendy Papasan are going to share how they’ve been setting goals for years and how you can apply these simple practices into your own relationship and/or business, even if the other people in your world aren’t goal setters.

0:00.0	This is the One Thing Podcast where we teach you the surprisingly simple truth behind extraordinary results.
0:09.0	I'm your host, Jeff Woods.
0:11.0	Every year as we wrap up Q3 and start to go into Q4, it's time to start considering
0:17.9	our goals for the upcoming year. And I don't know about you, but when I was growing up being a goal setter I always thought we
0:25.1	set goals in December or maybe even in January yet as I stepped into Gary and Jay's
0:30.0	world I understand that if you want to have big success, you have to have a bigger view of time.
0:35.1	And I also understood that the activities that we do today often show up in the form of results
0:40.7	90 days plus from now. So as we wrap up Q3 and head into Q4, we need to be thinking about our goals for next year. We need to be thinking about where we want to go and what's important to us because the activities we do in Q4 are our results in
0:55.6	Q1. And no one succeeds alone. Every year we set goals but we struggle to have a relationship
1:02.0	with them. We understand what we might want in the future

1:12.0	goals with the people who have a stake in them.
1:14.4	And quite often that's a significant other.
1:16.2	For those of you who are in a romantic relationship, ask the question.
1:20.6	If we looked at your track record for how you set goals, do you actually
1:24.5	involve the people that matter most to you in those decisions? We know for a lot of people,
1:31.7	the answer is no. And for those of you who are in a business
1:34.5	partnership or part of a team when you set your goals do you set them with your
1:40.2	colleagues again we know the answer is now.
1:44.2	What do you think the cost is of that?
