Goals

My goals are a direct creation of my passions: nutrition, fitness, trying new things, learning new perspectives, nurturing relationships (marriage, family, friends, co-workers), finding a balance and having fun.

“Goals” took on a new meaning for me when I started working for lululemon athletica in March 2011. Chip Wilson, the company’s founder, encourages all of the employees at lululemon to create a vision for their ideal life, and set personal, career, and health goals to achieve that vision.

Your vision:

• provides focus
• helps you discover your personal path

Your goals:

• inspire you to do the work
• excite and even scare you
• are specific, measurable and written in the present tense

Some guidelines for making powerful goals:

• write it in present tense
• make it measurable
• use affirmative language
• be specific
• set a by-when
