How to set GOALS! Lebron Method: Student Success & Student Leadership Series 1

Jonathan Medina "What size Dream do you have? DREAM BIG" 

As I travel the country speaking at schools as a top youth speaker to motivate students, many students ask to take selfies or the are connecting with me on instagram @jmedinaspeaks. While taking the photos or reading comments I always ask students what they want to be when they grow up. Many students look me in the eye or the message me on instragram and say they don’t know what they want to be when they grow up. They don’t have long term Goals. They don't have Dreams of the future. 

Fun Fact: We will all (100%) be somewhere 1 yr, 5 yrs, 10 yrs, 20 yrs from now.

Dr. Martin Luther King  “I had a __________” DREAM

Hellen Keller "The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no VISION"

VISION definition: Ability to plan, think, & forecast future with imagination, wisdom, & growth in mind. 

Playbook

Lebron James, “I have short goals- to get better everyday, to help my teammates every day. - but my only ultimate goal is to win an NBA Championship. It’s all that matters. I dream about it all the time, how it would look, how it would feel.”

I am a big Lebron James fan and I know he has BIG OLD GOAL (BOG) of being the greatest Basketball Player of all time.

When I was a young student I remember making goals that some day I would be a good athlete. Some day BIG OLD Goals, I would play Varsity Football & Basketball. Big OLD Goals that my grades would be at the top of the class. BIG OLD GOALS, I would have lots of friends. Big OLD GOALS I would get offers to play for Division 1 schools. Big Old Goals. 

Lebron James

BOG BIG OLD GOAL= Greatest Basketball player of all time Ultimate Goal or

Year Goal= Win NBA Championship

Daily Goal = Get Better, Help teammates get better

Start with BIG OLD GOAL. Next This Year Goals to get to BOG Today Goals Dream how it will look, feel, taste.
