| Q. |
Does it have to be used in a group or can I do it myself? |
| A. |
Either works. The question for you to decide is whether you'll do it on your own, or whether you need the motivation of others in a group setting to get the job done. No matter how wonderful a goal-setting tool it is, you won't gain anything by leaving it in a 'I'll get round to it later' pile!

| Q. |
Do I need to do a new Getting a Grip on Life Goals Toolkit every year? |
| A. |
Most people say 'Yes'. You'll find that, once you get really focused and clear, you'll make so much progress on your first lot of goals that your Goals Toolkit is out of date within the year. Some people achieve so much so quickly that they don't even wait a year before their next one.

| Q. |
In my experience, goal setting doesn't work. Who is it useful for? |
| A. |
There are a number of reasons why goal setting sometimes seems not to work. The common ones are:
- People set goals that rely on others for fulfillment, rather than things they have control over. For instance, 'I will marry the most beautiful girl in the class'. Maybe she's got other plans! A better goal would be: 'I will marry the perfect partner'.
- The timelines were unrealistic, or they just needed more time to mature. EVERY effective goal setter misses deadlines. Often they find they do achieve what they set out to do, but at a later time. That's not a failed goal: it's just an adjusted timeline.
- There's nothing wrong with the goal, but maybe some of our beliefs don't serve us. And therefore some of our behavior is sabotaging our goal. For instance, 'At the end of my life I want to be surrounded by a loving family and friends' is not going to happen if we have a belief that a permanent relationship is a trap, if we pick fault with our partner, if we treat our family with disregard.
This tool isn't going to change such potential problems. However, what it does very easily and effectively, because of the simple process you go through, is channel your thoughts into a clear sequence which helps to minimise those issues. You're encouraged to think logically (even if you're not normally a logical person!)
