This workbook is designed to help you get the most out of your Goals Quickstart
Masterclass, and to propel you to a fast, fun, and pain-free mastery of your next big goal.
Success in life begins with you deciding exactly who you are, what you want,
and writing it down. Then, you can make a plan to take action. By setting clear goals
(and then thinking about them all of the time), you trigger all kinds of ideas and insights
that will help you achieve your goals and build your ideal life.
By thinking about your goals all of the time, you become a more positive,
optimistic and confident person. And as you achieve your goals, you increase in
self-esteem, self-respect and personal pride. You feel like a winner and you eventually
become unstoppable.
Please watch the Introduction and Session One videos before completing any exercises
in your workbook. Complete each of these exercises in detail.
I’ve added a notes sheet on the next page for you to write down any and every idea
that comes to your mind when listening to these lessons.
To your success,
Brian Tracy

For the next section, begin each goal with the word “I.” Follow the word “I” with an action
verb that acts as a command from your conscious mind to your subconscious mind.
Describe your goals in the past tense, as though they have already been achieved. If your
goal is to earn $1M in a year, you would say, “I’ve earned $1M this year.”

If you’re struggling to come up with goals, start thinking about the type of people you
look up to. What do their daily lives look like? What have they achieved that you’d also
like to achieve?

What is one great thing you would dare to dream if you knew you could not fail?
In other words, what is your Major Definite Purpose? This is the one goal that is most
important to you at the moment. It is usually the one goal that will help you to achieve
more of your other goals than anything else you can accomplish!
Tips:
• The desire to achieve this goal should excite, motivate, and inspire you!
• Your Major Definite Purpose should be in harmony with your overall life goals.
For example, if you want to start your own investment firm, then your major
definite purpose probably shouldn’t be to become a world-class sculptor.
(They’re both fine goals, but clearly in conflict with one-and-other!)
Remember – you can learn any skill you need to accomplish any goal you set for yourself!

Once you’ve finished, rewrite your Major Definite Purpose here using the format “I will,
I am, I earn, etc.”
____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Now it’s time to turn your Major Definite Purpose into a S.M.A.R.T. Goal!
Specific:
Is your goal highly specific? If you were to say your goal out loud, people would know
exactly what you’re talking about. Rewrite your goal three times below. Each time, try to
make the goal more specific and easily stood.
For example…
The third version of this goal is much more specific than the original goal of “I want to
have a better body.”

Measurable:
Tracking the progress of your goal is an important part of keeping you motivated. It
allows you to set milestones that you can celebrate when you meet them and reevaluate
when you don’t. It’s a good idea, then, to always have some aspect of your goal that can
be measured and evaluated.
It can also be highly beneficial to have your goal broken into achievable components. For
example, “I will become a millionaire” is a fine goal, but “I will invest $1,000 by the end of
the year” might be a much measurable and achievable goal that will set you on the path
to achieving your long term goal of becoming a millionaire.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Achievable:
Your goal MUST be able to be accomplished within the constraints of time, money, the
external environment, the economy, and your current skills and abilities. For example, if
your goal is to play the violin in the London Symphony, and you’re not a master on the
violin...then your first goal might be “Learn to play a Bach solo within 2 years.”
____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Relevant:
It may seem like an easy question… but you must ask: “Is achieving your goal
relevant to you?”
By first defining your Major Definite Purpose, you should be able to make sure your
goal is relevant. Setting your goal can be a life-changing event, so make sure whatever
goal you’re setting is something that will set you down the path you want.
Yes No
Does my goal help me build the life I want
Does my goal help me achieve my Major Definite Purpose?
Will achieving my goal make me happy?
Am I ready to achieve this goal?
Time-Bound
The final step in setting a S.M.A.R.T goal is to make sure it’s time-bound. That might
mean breaking your goal into steps, rather than one overly-complex goal. When you
have specific schedules for each part of the goal, it is much easier to achieve the goal
on schedule.
For example - “I will buy a house” is a great goal to have! But it’s rather vague and not at
all time bound. The goal “I will get approved for a mortgage by the end of the year” is a
fantastic first step in achieving your larger goal of buying a house – and by making the
goal time-bound, you’ll be MUCH more likely to achieve it!
____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Now try to make it more specifically time-bound each time you write it.
(It’s okay if you can’t come up with 3 “increasingly time-bound versions of your goal)

____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Now it’s time to take everything you’ve learned, and write your S.M.A.R.T goal!
Make sure it’s Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound!

CONGRATULATIONS! You’ve just officially set your first goal! In the final lesson, we’ll go
over how to develop your plan to ensure you’re on the path to achieving this goal.
