If traditional Goal Setting exercises worked, why are we setting the same New Year's Resolutions year after year? If SMART Goals were so SMART, why haven't we achieved our goals and started living the life of our dreams?
In this book, mentor, speaker, and leadership coach Stephanie Dee Smith shares the secret to moving Beyond SMART Goal Setting and on to Dream Goal Getting. She links our goals to our values, and suddenly it all becomes clear.
We’ve been setting the wrong goals!
Stephanie leads you through the 5 Steps to Discovering Your Core Values and Living Your Best Life Ever. And she reassures you that it’s not too late. If you think you have missed your opportunity for achieving your life’s Big Dreams, she shows readers, in her slightly “in your face” motivational style, “that is where you are wrong. And if you wait long enough, you are going to be DEAD WRONG.”
Every one of us was created for some great purpose.
At some point in our lives we have all felt that silent nudge. It starts like a quiet pull on our soul – a constant, almost sub-conscious reminder that tells us we should be doing something more with our lives.
The longer we ignore it, the louder it gets.
Stephanie shares a quote by Andrew Carnegie, “If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy, and inspires your hopes”, reminding us that goals aren’t about checking boxes on a list, they are about inspiring our hopes and dreams.
Success in achieving those goals is simply a result of finding the right values-based habits and taking the necessary action steps to make them a part of your very essence.
If you’ve seen Stephanie speak in person, you’ve seen her big, excited personality fill the room. In this book, she has captured that lively spirit and her famous quips jump from the page, as in “You are not a tree” and “Never fight a goat over a patch of grass”.
Do you agree it’s time to move from Goal Setting to Goal Getting? This book is your guide for Dreaming Big and Living the Life You Were Meant to Live.

I had an idea come to me in the shower back when I was 22 that I’ve always held on to... Just thinking about starting an orphanage makes me cry and gives me a deep feeling of sorrow because I know how bad the system can be on kids... and while thinking about what my other huge project that I thought would be first... because it could bring in a ton of money and help a lot of women (and people in general)... but the reason I ultimately wanted to do it was so I’d have the money to start an orphanage... but her section of dreaming big and not worrying about the how it’s possible part, made me realize I need to make a vision board (or book) and go over it daily. Maybe I can figure it without a lot of money coming in.
I laughed quite a few times & once really hard... and actually cried quite a bit... including through the end of the book and my eyes are still wet.
She’s incredibly inspiring, clear... her stories give excellent visuals and give perfect understanding to the points she wants to get across.
I’m really really glad I got this, and I’m looking forward to her next one.
I hope you find a perfect piece of property for your farm Stephanie! I love to garden as well, and know how healing and rewarding it is.
My dad and I have also been looking at land for similar reasons... and you might already realize this, but in case you don’t... you can find just property with no house for so so so much less expensive! And since you have an RV, I’d say your half way there 😊
Good luck!!
I loved your book so much 💗💗💗
Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Stephanie doesn’t try to change you. She doesn’t give you answers. She does not offer tricks or philosophy.
Why? Because this is your story to write, and with this book, she's handing you a pen.
I have tried just about every self-help book out there for motivation and self-reflection. I keep looking in the wrong place. Like a good friend, she lets you come to your own conclusions, your own decisions, your own revelations. And you’re brave enough to do that because she shows you the magic and joy in that self-honesty.
How many of us have tried to make our lives fit our goals, and watched them fail dismally, and sat in dismay when others succeeded? Listen to Stephanie to understand how to discover your own truth, your own values — and found your own goals that bring you joy and success.
Read this book. You will not be disappointed. You will be changed for the better.

But this book inspires, motivates, empowers, and helps readers with practical tools.
Also, the author is a successful professional woman, with lots of experience in leadership and self-development and she's used the system she teaches to transform different areas of her life (weight loss-health/diet as well as family goals and career goals).
It's a short book and super packed with good info and exact steps to follow.
I'll be coming back to it whenever I feel stuck.

It debunks myths like the smart learning technique and shows how to find one’s purpose. This is a topic I’ve been doing a lot of research on myself and I really liked the approach in this book.
It was also good to see that the author opened up and shared personal stories. This makes the book believable.
If you feel a bit lost or have run out of motivation, I definitely recommend this book. It can give you much needed guidance.
