Episode 15 - Goal Setting In this episode I discuss 3 simple steps you can take to guarentee you are successful in any goal you create for yourself. 1) Make it a priority... It's not an option and you don't get to make excuses for why you can't do it.  This is nonnegotiable!! 2) Make a declaration... Tell a friend, tell social network, tell anyone that will listen BUT will also make you feel horribly guilty for skipping it or not doing it.  You need to be held accountable just by looking at this person. 3) Write down what you are going to do EVERY day.  A 7 day plan that you will create to stick to.  Make this on Friday for the upcoming 7 days. ---- www.thelazyteacherpodcast.com Email::brian@thelazyteacherpodcast.com Social Networks:Insta- @LazyTeacherPodcastFacebook- @TheLazyTeacherPodcastTwitter- @TheLazyTPodcastYouTube- TheLazyTeacherPodcast #podernfamily #LazyTeacherPodcast #TLTpodcast #Goals #goalsetting #inspiration #education #teacher #parents #podcast @audiotechnicausa #microphone #headphones
