GOAL SETTING: PART 30
NEXT STEPS
Welcome to Goal Setting Part 30 of the
TOPUCU Finisher Program. Now you’ve
taken an inventory of who you are as a
person, built a Personal Mission Statement
and created a comprehensive list of GOALS
for every part of your life. Today we’re going
to wrap up the Finisher Program and give
you some steps as you move forward in your
journey of transformation.
NEXT STEPS AND REMINDERS
NEXT STEP: READ YOUR
PERSONAL MISSION
STATEMENT OFTEN
Your mission statement should be something
that you look to constantly. It is a reminder of
the commitments you have made to yourself,
your family and the different communities
to which you belong. Keep a copy on your
night stand. Keep a copy in your office. Keep
a copy on your computer. Post it up in your
room. Keep it in the glove compartment of
your car. Tape it to the inside of your locker.
Hang it somewhere you’ll see it over and
over again and read it as often as possible.
Refer back to the Starter Program for
inspiration and motivation. Remember, the
Starter Program is filled with tips and tricks
for developing good habits, managing time,
dealing with the pain of change and much
more. There is no rule that says you can only
read the lessons in the Starter Program once.

best resource you can find is someone who NOTES:

them, work for them. If you are trying to get

NEXT STEP: ONE STEP AT A TIME,
