The things the author mentions in this book are nothing new, yet very important. How many of us travel by train without deciding where we are going? The author tries to say that going forward in life without a goal is similar to traveling without knowing a destination.

This book will help you to travel forward in life with a clear direction by adequately setting your short-term and long-term goals.

Having ended last year with Jim Rohn’s audiobook on Goal Setting, I was delighted to listen to Thibaut Meurisse’s audiobook, Goal Setting. It was a good follow-up and was more practical than inspirational. It's short, full of useful information, and easy to follow.

I thought it was well-researched. The ideas weren’t particularly novel, but it was arranged in a way to make the ideas accessible. My only negative was that the author included too many quotes from other self-help gurus, which distracted me because I kept stopping to look for their work. (Is that good or bad? Who knows?! :-) )

Overall, however, it was a good book, and I would read other material from him. Good job, Mr. Meurisse. I've accomplished one of my small goals so far. Kudos! :-)

*I received this audiobook as a gift from the author in exchange for an unbiased review.*

There is a printable workbook link. I was sitting down to do my 2020 goals and remembered I had printed it out and then not filled it in, or finished reading the book. Well done, brain…

I believe worthy goals have the following features:
1. They reflect your core values and are what you want, not what friends, family, or society wants from you.
2. They truly excite and energize you.
3. You enjoy the process that leads to them and not just the final outcome. “I’ll be happy when…” types of goals are not goals worth pursuing. Why not be happy now?

Good point.
He is especially on point with limiting beliefs [one of my kryptonites]

Now it’s time to develop a better understanding of just how a limiting belief can affect you. Let’s use, ‘I’m not good enough,’ a very common limiting belief, as our example.
This belief causes the following side effects:
1. Procrastination. You’ll want to put things off and think along the lines of, “I’ll do it later. I don’t feel confident, and I would fail if I do it now.”
2. Quitting. You’ll find yourself looking for reasons to give up and you’ll want to quit at the smallest sign of failure, be it real or imagined. You’ll say, “See! I told you I’m not good enough.”
3. Self-sabotage. To ensure your failure and validate your feelings of incompetence and worthlessness, you will set goals that are too big to be accomplished in too short a timeframe.
Realizing the constant warfare between you and your subconscious is half the battle. Having negative thoughts is normal, but you should never allow them to prevent you from moving forward. It’s okay to acknowledge your negative thoughts, but you shouldn't accept them as if they were the ultimate truth.

Sighs heavily.

It’s a decent guide and with the aid of my trusty white board I scrawled out some things to aim for in 2020.
Now to get them done, eh?

Meurisse is a French author who lives in japan… how intriguing is that?

Very simple and well stated guide to setting realistic goals

It’s always been hard for me to read books on things like setting goals and other productivity and success related topics. However, I really feel like Thibaut does a fantastic job of keeping things simple into the point, While at the same time, giving proper time to explain the necessary facts. I really enjoyed this book and will be carrying these helpful tips into the next year with my new set of smartest goals.

Goal Setting: The Ultimate Guide to Achieving Goals That Truly Excite You by Thibaut Meurisse was a great and helpful read. This book includes a step by step workbook that you can download and print. This book assists in setting goals and making them clear. I think this is a very helpful guide.

[Fernando Cabezas Astorga · Rating 5 out of 5]

Una muy buena estrategia para definir metas, donde se pone el énfasis en la emoción sostenisa y en entrar al subconsciente para convertirlo en aliado. Me complace que el autor no sea original en su exposición, pero sabe darle en todo momento su toque personal y fresco.

[Suresh Vijendran · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sumamente Útil

Es un libro que va directo al punto, se narra de una forma clara y te plantea preguntas muy importantes, son de los libros que valen la pena leer y volver a leer!

[Juergen John Roscher · Rating 4 out of 5]

Goal Setting: The Ultimate Guide to Achieving Goals that Truly Excite You by Thibaut Meurisse is a good review of the SMART goal setting process.

Specific: you know exactly what your goal is.
Measurable: you can measure and track your goal.
Achievable: your goal is realistic (i.e. you believe you can achieve it).
Relevant: your goal is relevant to you (i.e. it is exciting and meaningful).
Time-bound: you have a clear deadline for your goal

Meurisse further develops the SMART goal setting process by adding three additional steps, thus calling his goal setting process SMARTEST.

Emotionally Sustainable: Are you mentally prepared for the obstacles you’ll encounter during the journey towards your goal? Learning to persevere is vital to your success!
Strategized: Do you know exactly how you’re going to reach your goals? Do you know the key factors for your success? What skills must you master? How must you prioritize your actions to reach your goal?
Transfer goals to the Subconscious: Most of us have limiting beliefs, many of which may be subconscious. You must take eliminating these limiting beliefs very seriously. Otherwise, they might prevent you from reaching your goal.

I found this book to be helpful and plan to refer to it from time to time to help me with my goal setting and achieving efforts.

Recommended.

easy read and practical

No fluff. All points presented have clear ‘how to’ applications. Worthwhile read. The included free workbook I thought , was very helpful.

[Kathyayani]

Good book that emphasizes on visualization and how limited beliefs can hinder our progress towards achieving our dreams/ goals in life.

Explains the importance of planning and scheduling, having a checklist/ to-do list.

80/20 rule is pretty cool. It states that 20% of our efforts will account for 80% of our results.

I really liked the quote 'We have to see ourselves there long before it happens - Eric Thomas, motivational speaker

I highly recommend this book for reading and also refer the chapters once a while when required.

[Warren Benton · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a nice short book that takes all the knowledge obtained from any self-help guru book out there and compacts it into an easily digestible format. Meurisse points out how most people spend their lives pursuing a goal that they don't really want. He also talks about how the value is not in the goal, but it discovering what really matters most to you. Vague goals are not easily obtainable. Meurisse gives and example of how our mind works with vague goals. Take 10 seconds to think of all the thing in this world that are white. Now try to think of all the things in a refrigerator that are white. The point is when we actually focus on something with constraints like what's in a fridge we can probably come up with more.

A few more points that were good:

Sharing goals makes them now a part of reality and often times they will be less attainable.

Have you found goals that will be motivating you late in life?

Investing money gives you more incentive. Free things don't always motive us (it was funny because I picked this book up for free)

Overall this was a nice enjoyable book with very practical ways to set obtainable goals for yourself.

[SOS · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a short, interesting read about how to go about setting goals and accomplishing tasks, large and small. I thought the information included was excellent and applicable to most people. A couple of things irked me though. For one, the narrator, while excellent and easy to understand, at times sounded almost mechanical. I also found the constant stream of quotations from other books became tiresome. Not that they weren't good quotes, but there were so many of them.

Overall, this is a good overview book on goal setting and time management.

I received this audiobook as a gift from the author, and thank him for it. His generosity in no way influenced my opinion of the book.

[Leslie Fisher · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a really good book, filled with lots of good advice for making and achieving goals. I think my favorite bit of advice, paraphrased, was that you should think of your goals and think each day what you could do to that day to bring yourself closer to achieving that goal, then do it. Because that is what goal achievement is: doing something each day to bring yourself closer to the end goal. I got a lot out of this book, and it was perfect for reading right before the new year. It is short (about two hours), but well-written so that you can get a lot of information out of it. I listened to the Audible audio edition narrated by Meral Matthews, and I really liked his narration. His voice is very clear and he reads at a good speed. If you are interested in really achieving your goals, this is a great little book to get you motivated.

Practical and Spot On...

Advice at its best! Real to the point reading while staying interesting enough to finish the whole book. This book doesn’t disappoint! I enjoyed this book for the real encouragement and support it gives. The author gets real and shows you how to evaluate yourself, to seek out your true passions, that excite you for goal setting.

[Elena Guy · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love it!

Coming across this book couldn’t have happen at a better time, it is very dynamic and really goal inspiring. I took as much notes as I needed and at the end I came up with quite few goals to set on both my professional and personal life that I’m really excited about. I will be going through the highlights I’ve made and I will definitely read it again too 🤩

Thoughtful and inspiring

I will be referring often to this book! It is well organized with lots of great ideas for setting both long and short term goals.

[Betsy · Rating 3 out of 5]

Narrator: Meral Matthews: Very clear, but not very engaging. A narrator with a little more inspirational voice might have been better for this book.

NOTE: I received a free copy of this in return for a honest review.
I would give this 3.5*. The book is sort of a compilation of different theories and exercises of different goal setting techniques. It laid them out with the exercises, which were very useful. But it was a little unfocused, "if this doesn't work, try this instead". The book was very helpful as a recap and reminder, but didn't give me new insights over things I've already learned elsewhere.

To be fair, I might have felt a little differently if I had read a hard copy of the book rather than the audio version. Jumping between the audiobook and the exercises I downloaded with not ideal for me.
