S.M.A.R.T. Goals – Smart or Not So Smart? – Part One
For a long time I spoke about how S.M.A.R.T. goals are not always smart and how they have the potential to limit you and give you a false sense of accomplishment. Since my company, LMI-USA actually owns the registered trademark on S.M.A.R.T goals, I thought I would take a deep dive here and explain why this is still true and how you can blend in S.M.A.R.T. goals to help you make quantum leaps in the direction of your big dream goals for yourself personally and your organization.
There is an abundance of information out there regarding this topic. Content is being churned out by HR departments, universities, and other think tanks and bloggers; some of it good and a lot of it not so good.
Within this episode and over the next few episodes, I will explore and clearly define each element within this goal setting process. Learn the most effective and efficient way to apply this process properly and your results will be astonishing.

Paradigm Purge II – Your Next Success Step
You can’t ignore this part of the goal achievement process or you will end up stuck in the same place you have always been. This goes for individuals pursuing their dreams, small business owners seeking growth, and the corporate team seeking to improve performance and productivity while also influencing corporate culture.
There is absolutely no way around this step, yet ironically, most individuals and companies place little or no emphasis on paradigm identification and alteration which is always the root cause of the undesirable results (effect.)
This is episode number two on this topic, however if you search the history of this show on the website, you’ll find an abundance of episodes devoted to paradigm shifting over the last few years.
In this episode, I will help you to get started on the replacement process. If you now understand just what a paradigm is and have successfully identified some of your own success inhibitors, you must now learn how to go about changing them and replacing them with new conditioning that supports goal achievement.
Listen in now rather than moving on to unproductive activity that no longer serves you. This is a step you must take.

Paradigm Purging – Imperative for Success and Goal Achievement
You can’t ignore this part of the goal achievement process or you will end up stuck in the same place you have always been. This goes for individuals pursuing their dreams, small business owners seeking growth, and the corporate team seeking to improve performance and productivity while also influencing corporate culture.
There is absolutely no way around this step, yet ironically, most individuals and companies place little or no emphasis on paradigm identification and alteration which is always the root cause of the undesirable results (effect.)
I will spend a few episodes on this topic. In this episode, I will help you to really understand what a paradigm is and why it is imperative that you do this work if you really want to experience success and the realization of all your goals and dreams.
Included in this episode is an exercise you can begin at once to help you identify, personal, professional and corporate paradigms.
Listen in now rather than moving on to unproductive activity that no longer serves you. This is a step you must take.

Developing Desire and Passion – Step 5
This episode will wrap up this mini-series about learning how to develop desire and passion, in yourself and others, and how it is a unique leadership skill that is essential for your desired growth.
I shared how desire and passion are necessary elements in the pursuit of worthy ideals especially when it comes to making those quantum leaps in the direction of all you desire to experience personally and professionally.
I shared key points from the book “The 5 Pillars of Leadership; How to Bridge the Leadership Gap” by Paul J. Meyer, founder of Leadership Management International and Rand Slechta, LMI’s current CEO, here’s one that relates to our series topic:
“The desire and passion with which you and your team members face a challenge is an essential part of the soul of your organization. Without it, you and your team lack spiritual guidance and creative expression. Without desire and passion, there is no intuition; missing is the still small voice within you to provide insight into both situations and people. Without desire and passion, all of your talents and abilities tend to lie fallow and unresponsive; your potential is hidden, buried and dormant.”
In the last episode I explored step four, this episode focuses on step five, our final step. It’s about going to work deliberately, every day, on our desired objective. Working harder. I really suggest going back and listening to all five of these episodes together and join me as I take a deep dive into all five steps to developing desire and passion as shared by these two brilliant authors in this spectacular book. I highly recommend you get your own copy.
Set the intention now to no longer allow your infinite potential to remain hidden, buried and dormant. Commit to not only listening to this podcast but also applying the wisdom shared to your unique situation and taking action based on what you take away from these episodes.

The Frequency of Positive Expectancy
Maintaining a state of positive expectancy is a necessary element within the scope of doing things in a ‘Certain Way’ to make manifest the desires of your heart, personally and professionally. The frequency you establish by sustaining a state of positive expectancy is extremely attractive to your goals and aspirations.
William James, the Founder of American Psychology and author of the book “As a Man Thinketh” said: “The one thing that will guarantee the successful conclusion of a doubtful undertaking is faith in the beginning that you can do it.”
To make it more personal he also said it this way. I suggest you write this down and carry it with you, keep it with your written goals too: “Your belief at the beginning of a doubtful undertaking is the one thing that assures the successful outcome of any venture.”
Positive expectancy is synonymous with faith and belief and it’s important to remember its place when it comes to the law of cause and effect. Cause produces an effect. When it comes to expectancy, faith and belief, it’s important to remember the polar opposite state of positive expectancy, which is a negative state, may drawn in undesirable results.
Ask yourself where you are in all of this. Begin your quest by doing things in a ‘Certain Way.’ Establish your frequency now as you make a fresh start. Listen in to this episode as I take a deeper dive into all of this in an effort to keep you in alignment with the ‘Certain Way.’ This will assure you make quantum leaps when it comes to your personal, professional and leadership development and goal achievement.
