34. 1:08making sure that i got in front of
35. 1:10people that had something good to say
36. 1:13and then i started keeping a journal one
37. 1:15of the major things my teacher taught me
38. 1:17was to keep a journal
39. 1:19he said don't trust your memory if you
40. 1:21hear something good just make a little
41. 1:23note and write it down
42. 1:25now at first i took you know notes on
43. 1:27pieces of paper and torn off corners and
44. 1:29backs of old envelopes
45. 1:31and it didn't serve me well you know
46. 1:32thrown in a drawer then i learned to
47. 1:35keep
48. 1:35a journal a bound copy of all my notes
49. 1:39so i would suggest you do the same
50. 1:42things that impress you a poem that
51. 1:44impresses you when you attend a class
52. 1:47some of the ideas that impressed you jot
53. 1:49them down

63. 2:04journals i tell you what you'd have to
64. 2:06say

66. 2:09journals of a very serious student no

70. 2:17thing to happen to you

83. 2:44refine it
84. 2:45for your business and for your life and
85. 2:47for your future but the main thing is to
86. 2:49get it and start this process of
87. 2:51personal change
88. 2:52personal development and let me say it
89. 2:54one more time if you will change
90. 2:57everything will change for you you'll
91. 2:59never be the same
92. 3:00you'll keep growing as you look back on
93. 3:03a few months look back on a few years
94. 3:04you won't believe the progress you can
95. 3:06make economically
96. 3:07your relationship with your family your
97. 3:09friends and whether you're in sports or
98. 3:12economics or whatever i'm telling you
99. 3:14that whole process of committing
100. 3:16yourself for personal
101. 3:18change personal value can really make
102. 3:21your life unique and worthwhile
103. 3:23now let's cover the second subject on
104. 3:25setting goals
105. 3:27mr shelf gave me some tips on setting
106. 3:28goals that changed my life forever
107. 3:31and i want to share those with you so
108. 3:33let's talk about setting goals and i
109. 3:35also want to tie it
110. 3:37to personal development and you'll see
111. 3:40how i'm going to do it as i progress
112. 3:41here setting goals
113. 3:43we need to take a look into the future
114. 3:46there are
115. 3:48four things to consider in terms of
116. 3:50attitude one is how you feel about the
117. 3:52past
118. 3:54best advice i can give you on that is
119. 3:56treat the past as a school let it teach
120. 3:58you the mistakes you've made the things
121. 3:59that went wrong the things that didn't
122. 4:01work
123. 4:02don't use the past as a burden to carry
124. 4:04and don't use the past as a club to beat
125. 4:06yourself to death
126. 4:07past losses past failures past mistakes
127. 4:10but let the past be a school
128. 4:12tough school maybe we've all been
129. 4:13through some tough stuff
130. 4:15so if you feel good about the past draw
131. 4:18from it for experience and let it teach
132. 4:20you
133. 4:21then next is how you feel about the
134. 4:23future we've got to have the future well
135. 4:25designed
136. 4:27the future is called the promise
137. 4:30and here's what we teach in our
138. 4:31leadership series
139. 4:33the promise of the future can be an
140. 4:35awesome force
141. 4:37for your own future the promise of the
142. 4:40future
143. 4:41designing the future there's two ways to
144. 4:42face the future one is with apprehension
145. 4:45and the other is with anticipation i
146. 4:48promise you in my travels around the
147. 4:50world
148. 4:50most people face the future with
149. 4:52apprehension and here's why they don't
150. 4:54have it well designed
151. 4:56they've sort of left that up to someone
152. 4:58else to fix
153. 5:00but here's the best way to face the
154. 5:01future with anticipation
155. 5:03and you can you can face the future with
156. 5:05anticipation
157. 5:06if the future is clear if the future is
158. 5:10well designed and i would like to have
159. 5:13you
160. 5:14consider some thoughts with me that
161. 5:17helped me
162. 5:18to really change my future by giving it
163. 5:21some thought and some consideration
164. 5:24and here it is in setting goals it's
165. 5:26very simple number one
166. 5:27decide what you want you just take a
167. 5:30little time
168. 5:31you sit down and say what do i want what
169. 5:33kind of skills do i want what kind of
170. 5:35income do i want for the future uh what
171. 5:38would i like
172. 5:39where would i like to go places i'd like
173. 5:42to visit
174. 5:43uh habits i'd like to acquire skills i'd
175. 5:46like to have
176. 5:48you just take a little time to think
177. 5:49about what you want economics
178. 5:51friendships
179. 5:53people you'd like to meet places you'd
180. 5:55like to go you just take some time
181. 5:57and then i suggest when you've thought
182. 5:59about what you want for the future
183. 6:01make a list just jot it all down
184. 6:04so really a very simple process and then
185. 6:07here's number three
186. 6:09keep all the old lists i'm telling you
187. 6:12this served me so well
188. 6:14keeping my old list of goals i look back
189. 6:17now 10
190. 6:1820 years ago at goals i set lists i made
191. 6:20and i smile now because here's what i
192. 6:22thought was so important
193. 6:24you know 20 years ago now some of those
194. 6:26things aren't even on my list
195. 6:28i've got a new list i've grown i've
196. 6:31changed i've matured
197. 6:33but i give you that advice decide what
198. 6:35you want number two write it down number
199. 6:36three keep the old lists
200. 6:39and then here's number four when you get
201. 6:41something that's on one of these lists
202. 6:43check it off part of the fun of having a
203. 6:45list is checking it off
204. 6:47and then if you can add some drama to
205. 6:49checking it off see that's what really
206. 6:51helps
207. 6:52i set a goal to go to spain many many
208. 6:54years ago
209. 6:56and when i finally made my first trip to
210. 6:58spain i had that journal with me that
211. 6:59had that list in it and while i had my
212. 7:02journal on my lap
213. 7:04waiting for the wheels to touch down in
214. 7:06madrid
215. 7:07i waited until the wheels touched the
216. 7:09runway and i checked it off
217. 7:11just adding a little drama so part of
218. 7:14the fun of having a list is checking it
219. 7:16off
220. 7:17now here's what's important about the
221. 7:19list and designing your future
222. 7:22if the future gets clear the price
223. 7:26gets easier because you got to remember
224. 7:29for every
225. 7:30promise there's a price to pay
226. 7:33everybody's got to pay the price
227. 7:35everybody's got to do the deal
228. 7:37everybody's got to do the disciplines
229. 7:39everybody has to pay
230. 7:41but here's what i've discovered if the
231. 7:43promise is clear
232. 7:45and powerful the price is easy to pay
233. 7:49the prices some classes the price is a
234. 7:51few books the price is a few disciplines
235. 7:54the price is finding something that will
236. 7:55make your life better make you grow make
237. 7:57you change make you develop
238. 7:59so the first part of the key is to
239. 8:01design the promise then what is the
240. 8:03price to pay i'm telling you
241. 8:04the price will be easy anybody in my
242. 8:08audience can pay it no matter where you
243. 8:10are where you come from
244. 8:12color doesn't matter religion doesn't
245. 8:13matter where you grew up doesn't matter
246. 8:14circumstances don't matter i'm telling
247. 8:16you
248. 8:17if you'll make the promise of the future
249. 8:19clear for yourself the things you want
250. 8:21the places you want to go
251. 8:22the things you want to have the person
252. 8:24you want to become the skills you want
253. 8:26the homes you want the future you want
254. 8:28the friends you want
255. 8:30all of the values of life that you could
256. 8:32possibly want
257. 8:33if you'll make that clear make those
258. 8:35lists and be serious about it i promise
259. 8:38you it's an
260. 8:38easy price to pay anybody can pay it
261. 8:42and the best advice i can give you is if
262. 8:44i can do it you can do it
263. 8:45farm boy from idaho raised in obscurity
264. 8:48i changed my life
265. 8:49turned it upside down turned it all
266. 8:51around
267. 8:52found economics found future found
268. 8:54promise and if i can do it you can do it
269. 8:57so start setting your goals and see if
270. 9:00you can't get a
271. 9:01better excitement going for the things
272. 9:04you want to accomplish for the future
