Interesting idea about the “un-goal” … Dan Lok says he makes a list of the things likes and the things he does not like to do, and then makes his goals that go something like this (these are not his likes or dislikes, I’m just using them as an example)
Likes – writing
Goal: I will write for 3 hours daily
Dislikes – admin
Goal: I will have my virtual assistant submit/publish my writings to the appropriate venues.

In this way both the goal and the ungoal are still a positive while having the same effect (I think) of the NOT. It’s just another spin on it.

Wishing you continued success in 2010 and beyond.

hmmm…. Steve, what I learned was that the unconscious ignores the not, therefore, that which you want “not” to happen is what happens, i.e.,

I will not hesitate to believe ………….
becomes
I will hesitate to believe ………..

What your conscious concentrates on the unconscious delivers, so if you don’t want to be sad, sad is what you are concentrating on and that is what is drawn to you. So in that respect you did a marvelous job of your NOT as you have chosen SUCCESS as the as the outcome to concentrate on.

Interesting idea Pat!

My goal for the coming year is to grow my blog to 4000 RSS subscribers, to create more video content, and to create at least 2 ebooks (thanks for YOUR ebook -which will help me along the way!)

My un-goal: I will not be afraid of how I look and sound on video – and won’t let it stop me from creating more video. I won’t waste time on online activities that don’t build value.

Ungoals what a great idea Pat.

My goals are simply to edge closer to my big dream each day. like many – good health, financial freedom and security while growing personally. If your not growing , your dying right?

I’m using my new website to combines all of the above while providing information and my experiences to others so I ‘give something back’ to others.

Love your site Pat, so much advice thanks

Hi Pat,

This is the first time I have heard about having an un-goal. Worth a try and I will incorporate it into my goal setting process to see how well it works out. Great goal for 2010 and I am looking forward to your podcast series.

Cheers,
Vincent

Hey Pat,
A couple of quick points. One of the things I’ve done is start to set promises instead of goals. Think about it, we take promises much more seriously because our integrity is on the line, whereas 99% of us routinely ignore or dismiss the importance of our goals.

I think where your concept of an un-goal fits into making promises to ourself is when we design our action steps. For instance, if I promise to eat three healthy meals a day because i will feel better and live longer, then one of my action steps would be to NOT eat junk food, fast food etc.

Thank you, Jarred.

Oh BTW Pat, I’d LOVE to be considered for one of the free copy of the 4-Hour Work Week (new edition) book!

Pick me, pick me, pick me!!!
