Goal Setting Software - Review of Goal Pro 2008

Do you need goal setting software to achieve goal setting success? The quick answer is no, but the right software can really supercharge your chances of goal setting success and instill daily habits of success.

After putting the spot light on Goal Pro, I couldn't wait to get to my computer to write this review of goal setting software. The reason why I liked this software is that it instills the same goal setting process that I use with successful adults in sport, business and education.

The software helps you to firstly identify what categories that you want to set goals in, which may be health, family, career or whatever is important to you. By taking this balanced approach, it allows you to set goals that are vital to your definition of success.

You need to do the hard work identifying what areas of your life are important to you and what goals you want to set. However, the software does a great job of helping you clarify what you need to do to achieve those goals.

What the software does is allow you to develop goals and the steps that you are going to take to get there. You set these up as scheduled tasks and appointment items. In this way, personal success will come with your daily habits of success.

The upfront work in setting your goal routines and tasks that you need to do is quite cumbersome and a little time consuming. But all the hard work at the start means that you not only have a written goal which is a powerful force, but you have a support structure of scheduled tasks and appointment items that will make your goal an unstoppable force.

It is important to note that the software does not set SMARTer goals for you. So the responsibility for setting the right goals that are SMARTer is yours. What the software does do is provide you the framework upon which to track your goals and the tasks that you set to achieve them.

Another important feature of Goal Pro is that the software provides a ‘success creed’ that are important values that you want to uphold in achieving your goal. I als0 gives you inspirational quotes and images that can be incorporated into difficult goals, to provide you with the motivation and confidence to keep going when things get tough.

I also quite like the ‘success questions’ that can be used to trigger brainstorming sessions for difficult goals that are harder to achieve.

I learned a lot from Goal Pro ….much more than I expected. For example, I learned that goal setting software can really take your goal setting to another level by making the process more involved – which in turn increases motivation. Goal Pro does the right things by helping you to create a long term goal and instilling success habits that are daily habits to achieve your vision.

Quite rightly, you need to set your own goals, and this means setting SMARTer goals if you are going to maximize your chances of goal setting success.

I highly recommend Goal Pro. It was definitely money well spent for me.
