It is easy to spot a person who has a clear set of goals. That person is the one who exudes a sense of purpose and determination. He or she has abundant energy and is willing to put more time and effort into any given task. Being goal oriented can even help you to become more positive, optimistic, and assertive about your life and career!

This discussion will help you with a variety of strategies for efficiently and effectively reaching your goals with our board member Jeff Davidson, The Work-Life Balance Expert®.

People who continually set, pursue, and monitor their career goals, for example, are more productive than people who simply “work at a job.” In contrast, the uninspired worker goes home at the end of the day, having gained nothing more than a few dollars and a lot of aggravation.

When you set goals in all the major areas of your life, the right roads appear in front of you like mirages in the desert. Yet, rather than mirages, they are real! Choices become infinitely easier to make and you have taken a giant step toward living a balanced life.

People who have a clear set of goals are taken seriously by others and are respected by their peers. In contrast, those who have no goals exist feeling emotionally, socially, spiritually, physically, and professionally unbalanced, causing anxiety.

Jeff is one of the most prolific authors in the entire world and he is sharing with us in this intimate business setting!
