1 CPE In this course you learn proven principles successful people use to accomplish their personal and business life dreams. You will walk away with the knowledge of how to build the life you want starting by accomplishing personal and business goals.
The problem isn’t that we need more time. We are all given 24 hours a day. The problem is how we manage our activities. Dreaming about a better life, job, relationship or income is common to all of us. What is not common is how we go about our day turning imaginations into real accomplishments.
In this course you will learn how highly successful people turn their time into successful accomplishments. It is important to understand that you don’t do “goals”, you simply accomplish goals. What you learn is the process for effective goal setting thinking and how easy it is to do the activities needed to accomplish your life time dreams.

This was an eye opening experience. I think everyone thinks planning and goal setting is a waste of time. And now I've learned that those people, myself included, have been living in the present by focusing on just getting going on something, with no real clear goal, in mind. I need to set aside some time no matter what and really plan out any goal I set out to accomplish. It's easy to think you will be able to come up with a plan on the way, but that was my naive thinking.

This course is a great reminder that it's important to set specific goals and write them down. Dream big, stay focused and have a time frame to accomplish your goals.I plan to Turbo Charge my goals by using the chart and sharing it with others to see if goals are important, not important, urgent or not urgent and focus on the ones that provide more value to my life. Thanks Stepp for the encouragement, tools and reminder to create goals and set priorities.

This is a presentation that I would want to come back to occasionally. It can help to focus your mind to think about goals. As I near retirement, I often think that I need to have goals for retirement but have yet to write these down. I think now it is time to use the SMART plan to put some of these goals into action

This course is great to help you figure out what's important in your life and how you can become more intentional about how you spend your time. I recommend that you put these into practice and invest in your future by planning the activities needed to get you where you want to be.

Good course for someone just starting out and trying to identify how to set goals and how to achieve them. Stepp does a nice job in breaking it down into smaller pieces making the process easier to understand and manage. I will be using many of his tips and suggestions.

Setting goals is an important aspect of life, whether your business or personal life. The SMART acronym is a helpful as a reminder what needs to be in place for you to accomplish your goal and keep on track. Thankful for this reminder

Good course with detailed examples of how to both create and achieve goals. Before taking this course, I did not realize just how much you actually can achieve if you come up with specific goals and a plan to achieve them.

Fantastic for an intro course (freshman business class, new hire orientation, etc.), but if you've ever read Stephen Covey or any other similar author, you've heard this information before and could probably skip.

Lots of great advice.I will definitely save this for future reference. People always talk about what they wish they could or should've have done, I say just do it. You'll never know yourself unless you try.

I really like this program thank you, Stepp. I'm buying a white board from amazon, so I can write out all my goals. Hang the white board in front of my work computer, so I can read my goals each day!

He’s the first person I’ve heard who has said set 50 to 70 goals. That appeals to me rather than common advice to set only three goals for a quarter. I have way more interests than that. :-)

Practical & meaningful steps to accomplish goals both personally & professionally. Several presentation slides on download different than webinar's. Trainer presented material well.

this course barely covers the essentials of how to do this important human resources function. the section on goal setting should be a bit more inclusive of fact-based materials.

This webinar lost my interest a couple of times. I think there were a few items that were repeated more than necessary, and some topics that were not talked about enough.
