Completed By: ______________________________ On ________________
Hi Thank you for downloading and reading this document – 21 Life Mastery & Happiness Questions In addition to the 21 Life Mastery & Happiness Questions, we have given you a Bonus Goal Setting & Action workbook, to help you get total clarity about what you want, where you want to be and by what timeframe. You’ll be specific and getting commitment from yourself using a proven model I’ve been developing for over a decade! And if you don’t know much about me, you can read my bio at the end of the document. But this 21 Life Mastery & Happiness Questions & Goal Setting & Action workbook is about You – so shall we move on? Guidance: This was created to help you take action to make this year (and every subsequent year) your best year yet. Use the following questions to get crystal clear on your goals and the actions required to make them happen. The key is to keep it simple, actionable and exciting. Clear your calendar, get out your journal and let's get to work. Be sure to print this out so you can put pen to paper. Then take it to a coffee shop or park, WITHOUT an Internet connection, a time limit or distractions, and let the awesomeness begin (I can’t help using cheesy words, I’m an Aussie :-)
AN EPIC LIFE IS AVAILABLE TO ALL OF US. YOU JUST HAVE TO WANT IT ENOUGH. THIS PROCESS WORKS. PERIOD.
YOU JUST HAVE TO DO IT.

STEP ONE —
REFLECT - REVIEW WHAT MADE LAST YEAR AWESOME (AND NOT SO AWESOME) Let’s make stock of what you've accomplished and what you're proud of. Also think through the low points of the year and what you don't want to repeat.
1. What are you most proud of in the last year?
2. If there were a newspaper headline describing this past year for you, what would it say?
3. What unfinished business did you want to resolve before the year-end and when will you do it? (i.e. lingering relationships, apologies, goals yet to achieve)
4. When were you most excited about life in this past year? What were you doing? Who
were you with?
5. Looking back, what would you have done differently in 2011?
6. What new dream for yourself did you achieve?
7. Where did you let fear hold you back from a goal you had?

8. What was boring to you this year that you hope to change for next year?
STEP TWO —
DEFINE YOUR AREAS OF ATTENTION
List the core areas of your life where you want to get results. Examples include: Health, Lifestyle, Continued Learning, Helping Others, Marriage, Business, Spirituality. The more creative you can get with your naming, the more committed you’ll be (i.e. Expand the Mind instead of Continued Learning). Anything goes. Don’t list any more than 7 (ideally fewer). The point here is to nail the areas in your life that matter and have fun with it. Areas of Attention
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
STEP THREE —
DEFINE RESOLUTIONS AND HABITS
Before we start thinking through our massive goals, it’s good to start with general themes of improvement or change you want to work on. They say you eat an Elephant one bite at a time, and I see too many people set huge goals when they haven’t achieved anything like the results in their life before. There needs to be balance and we need to set ourselves up for success, not failure. So let’s look at your habits or resolutions. These differ from goals in the sense that goals are things you eventually accomplish or check off your list. Habits are things you want to adopt as a part of your life going forward. Some examples of habits I’ve focused on include: being early, scheduling less, slowing down, spending less time on email, simplifying/decluttering, single tasking, being solution focused, seeing the positive in a challenging situation or getting more sleep. All are habits or behaviors you either do well, or not so well.

My good friend Rob Moore (also my business partner) has a really effective and simple approach to changing habits that I’ve also adopted. It’s best to focus on a max of one new habit or resolution at a time (ideally no more than one per month). If we do that one thing for a month straight, it will likely become a part of our routine. The good news is that for the super ambitious, this still allows for 11 new habits a year! Although, I’d recommend fewer. List up to 11 habits or resolutions you’d like to focus on for the New Year:
Habits and Resolutions:
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11.
STEP FOUR —
CREATE A CORE GOAL IN EACH AREA
Now it's time to think BIG. These don't have to be massive, but that certainly makes it more fun. They just have to be meaningful to you. It's not necessary to pick something for every single category, but I encourage you to do so or else we're at the risk of sacrificing parts of our life that matter. Balance is key. List 1-3 goals per Area of Attention: Area One:
1. 2. 3.
Area Two: 1. 2. 3.
Area Three: 1. 2. 3.
Area Four:
1. 2. 3.
Area Five: 1. 2. 3.
Area Six: 1. 2. 3.
Area Seven:

Area Eight: 1. 2. 3.

STEP FIVE —
GET SPECIFIC – DEFINE WHAT YOU REALLY WANT
It's not enough to say, "I want to be healthier" or "I want to make more money”. In order to achieve goals, they should be quantifiable and measurable. And you need to be in control of whether they happen. You can’t control whether you actually lose 10 pounds but you can control what you eat and how often you exercise, which usually leads to losing the weight. Define what you want exactly. You want to write a book, then how many words a day can you commit to? If you don't know the rules of the game, then how could you ever expect to win? List the quantifiable outcomes and the specifics of each goal.

STEP SIX —
GET LEVERAGE - FIND A COMPELLING AND EMOTIONAL REASON WHY
Leverage can come from one of two places. You can focus on the wonderful things you’ll experience if you complete your goal (i.e. happiness, personal freedom, finding the love of your life). Or you can focus on the awful things that might happen if you don’t (i.e. loneliness, a heart attack, or the death of a loved one). Positive or negative, pleasurable to accomplish OR painful IF YOU DON’T, discover what will make it an absolute must to accomplish your goal. It’s like the father who couldn’t quit smoking until his six-year-old daughter walked into his home office one morning and said “Daddy, I don’t want you to die before I’m 10.” He never smoked again. That’s leverage. What massive reason can you find for making your goal a must? It could be fitting into your wedding dress or being sure you’re alive to teach your grandson math. It’s your call. Just be sure there is major emotion behind it. List one WHY for each goal.

STEP SEVEN —
FILL IN THE DETAILS - CREATE BABY STEPS Thinking of a long-term goal as a single item to accomplish can be massively overwhelming. Remember the Elephant. But every goal has smaller, ‘chunked down’ action steps that edge you closer and make the big goal more realistically achievable. Take each core goal and divide it into 3-5 Minor Steps. Then create 3-5 Baby Steps for each minor step. You may need more or fewer steps depending on the size of your goal. Feel it out.

STEP EIGHT —
GET THEM ON A CALENDAR
Everything we do takes up physical time in our lives. Without putting things on the calendar, it's easy to plan way too much. Too much then leads to overwhelm which leads to the opposite of progress. Not good. And if you’re like me, it’s also easy to forget goals and deadlines unless you use systems to remind you. Now look at the goals and habits/resolutions you've created. Begin to place each into various months. Be conscious of your life. If you know you'll be traveling all of April then don't expect huge results that month. If some of your goals will take the whole year to complete then fill in your Minor tasks in the months where you will take the action. Balance realistic and achievable with what I call a ‘stretch’ goal – one that challenges you but isn’t impossible.

STEP NINE —
GET ACCOUNTABLE - TELL AT LEAST 4 PEOPLE ABOUT THEM
We tend to keep our word much better with others than with ourselves. It’s more painful to let people down, and we don’t want to look silly (Well most of us, anyway :-). Pick at least four people close to you to tell about your goals. For some this is hard, but it’s about doing everything you can to make your goals happen. Getting commitment and accountability, and using the necessary tools to increase the chances of success. They’ll be your Accountability Allies. Walk them through your process. Explain why it's so deadly important to you and even give them a copy of your goals and plan (Just photocopy this when complete). Ask for their help.

STEP TEN —
ROUTINELY REVIEW YOUR PROGRESS - WEEKLY OR MONTHLY AT THE LEAST
To see massive progress you must keep your plans front of mind. Create a routine that allows you to review the above on a weekly basis. Anything more infrequent than weekly makes it too easy to keep the ideas and dreams as just that - ideas and dreams. They become reality when we consistently address them and make small gradual progress. In a year that can become enormous when you think of the compound effect. In addition to what you are about to do today, read them once before you go to bed and once when you get up, daily. And just watch the magic happen. Where your focus goes, energy flows my friend. Write down when you will review your goals on a routine basis: Day of Week:

STEP ELEVEN —
DO SOMETHING NOW - NO MATTER HOW SMALL
Never leave the site of a planning session without taking some action to get you closer to victory. It could be the tiniest thing in the world. Maybe send a short email or make a quick list. Pick something that only takes 5 minutes or less. And do it. Let the momentum build. Pick one small task for your top few goals that you can do right now to get you closer.

Become Your Dreams - Just Add Hard Work
Congratulations! The fact that you’ve finished this process means you are nearly guaranteed to experience your dreams. As long as you do one thing… Decide. Do. Now. Dreams don't become reality by dreaming. That is the very first and simplest step. The magic happens when a consistent process of dedicated action is applied to the things that matter most in your life. And make no mistake, doing and action are required – and I know you know that :-) When you get committed on such a level, the sky is literally the limit, and failure just isn’t an option. It’s not hard to get committed, it’s simply a decision you make and stick to, like any decision. That is what has turned the impossible into the possible and is what makes the difference between an Epic Life and an ordinary one. Consistent action and constant, minor improvements. Every life can be Epic in it's own way. All we have to do is want it badly enough. That part is up to you. Here’s to a year of life on your terms. I’ll see you out there!
