Key Takeaways

Big Goals Begin with the Seven Days of Dreaming Challenge (0:01:41)
Before setting a single goal, Dave and Jacq recommend starting with the Seven Days of Dreaming Challenge. For seven days, participants simply daydream… writing down what they want personally and professionally without pressure, decision-making, or commitment. The purpose is not to “be realistic,” but to re-ignite your imagination!
You likely haven’t truly daydreamed about your future in years. By repeating this process daily, patterns begin to emerge for you, revealing core desires that will later become the foundation for meaningful goals. This is a crucial step of the process that infuses enthusiasm, clarity, and emotional engagement into your goal-setting!
Every Effective Goal Starts with Gratitude (0:04:24)
The first rule of effective goal setting is beginning with gratitude. Dave explains that gratitude is not just a feel-good emotion… it is a psychological and energetic state that draws a person toward an idea rather than repelling them from it. By starting your goals with phrases like “I’m so happy and grateful now that…”, your mind moves into alignment with the goal rather than resistance. Gratitude sets the emotional frequency required to stay connected to a vision long enough for growth to occur.
Use Money as a Metric and Commit to a Date (0:06:34)
Money is not the ultimate aim, but it is a universal measurement of value, service, and impact. In this worksheet, money is used as a measurable metric, paired with a specific date, typically one year out. Dave emphasizes that dates are not meant to create pressure; they create focus.
A date is simply an agreement to give mental, emotional, and behavioral energy to one idea for a defined period of time. If the date arrives and the goal has not yet been reached, the solution is simple: renew the agreement and continue! This approach removes panic and replaces it with consistency.
Think Like a Business Owner and Align with Nature’s Law of Multiplication (0:09:25)
Big goals are natural! Multiplication is how nature works!
Dave reminds listeners that an oak tree produces thousands of acorns, not two. Humans are governed by the same laws. Setting large, multiplication, stretch goals aligns personal growth with nature’s inherent principle of expansion.
Also, imagine your goals written from the mindset of a business owner… where income reflects leadership, thinking, service, and identity rather than hours worked.
Design Goals Around Service and Personal Growth (0:12:20)
Goals are not just about achieving outcomes; they are about who you must become in order to produce those outcomes. Dave and Jacq emphasize including service, impact, team, and personal growth directly into the goal statement itself.
Results do not grow in spite of the individual; they grow because of them. As leadership, mindset, and consistency improve, business results naturally follow.
Two rules work together here: 1) Design goals around service, 2) Build the person who builds the business
Belief Comes Last, Desire Comes First (0:18:23)
One of the most freeing ideas in this episode is that belief is not a prerequisite for goal setting. In fact, Dave explains that it is often better not to believe a goal at first. Belief is built through repetition, action, and experience. The only requirements to begin are desire and willingness.
Dave shares his own example: when he wrote his first $100,000-per-month goal card, he was earning $5,000 a month as a carpenter. It took 31 months to achieve… but once it happened, it became permanent. This worksheet is designed to be used daily as an affirmation, generating inspired actions and gradually conditioning belief into the subconscious mind.
