As an end of the year wrap up, Dan looks at some questions he is asked when we start talking about setting goals: Should you be afraid of your desires, ambition and your drives?    When are you just being selfish – and when are you really in the groove to become all God intended for you? What does it mean to be “crowned with glory and honor?” Plus, Dan takes a look at what happens when you retire.

The 7 Areas of Goal Setting To Maximize Success 11:45 — Financial – Don’t be afraid to set a financial goal that may be a stretch. If you expect to make more money, you may be surprised. Perhaps you start a side business. 13:55 — Physical — You can buy time by being healthier. 14:38 — The leading cause of death – retirement. Dan explores the reasons people die: no friends, no money, no purpose and how retirement contributes to all three of those. 18:50 — Set a goal for your family life. What do you want to do to be a better parent, grandparent, wife or husband? 19:26 — Spirituality – What do you want to do that goes beyond yourself? 20:07 — Social — Take a look at the book, How To Win Friends and Influence People and consider the things you can do to improve in this area. It may be just to smile more! 21:40 — Career goals should be a reflection of the life you want to live. [spp-timestamp time=”21:50″] — Dan shares another goal for 2018: to do more coaching.
