Setting and Achieving Goals

The Lifeblood of Life Coaching
For Coaches And Their Clients


In this section you'll find some great information on setting and achieving goals:

  • The Importance of Writing Goals Down
  • How to go about Setting SMART goals
  • Goal Setting Tips for coaches
  • An Explanation of the BE DO HAVE Model
  • So why is setting and achieving goals so important in the coaching conversation?

    Because one of the things you are going to most often find yourself doing as a business and life coach in any niche or specialty, is helping your clients with their goals.

    What I aim to do in this section here is take just some of the information in my book Ready Set Goal! and make it specific to your goals in becoming a coach yourself and the goals you work on with your clients.

    What Goals Are About

    Of course Life Coaching isn’t ALL about setting and achieving goals, but it is an integral part of the process.

    Choosing and setting a goal, whether for yourself or a client, is about identifying 'the more' and/or 'the less' in life that needs addressing and changing.

    Goal planning is simply a way of filling in the gap between where you are now and the chosen goal.

    Or who you are now and who you want to be. Or what you have now and what you want to have.

    Successful goal planning is about identifying and achieving:

    Setting and Achieving Goals is about taking the life coaching client from where they are to where they want to be.
    • more clarity;
    • more choices;
    • more sales;
    • more business;
    • more profits;
    • more power;
    • more fun;
    • more confidence;
    • more money;
    • more free time;
    • more energy;
    • more excitement;
    • more travel;
    • more peace;
    • more life;
    • more love

    and so on, in whatever area of life they apply.

    So having your own goals for your own life and your coaching career, and being able to congruently articulate them, is an essential part of earning the right as a Life Coach.

    And I have to mention that becoming a coach has so many opportunities to help you achieve what may be one of your outcomes of more Work and Life Balance, in your own life which can mean having less stress, less frustration and more time for family and fun.
