Create a 1-Word Goal

BIG BENEFIT: Discover a single word can transform your entire year

💬 One idea that you use is more powerful than 100 you don’t. - Unknown

Goals…

They’re powerful… but often times they’re WAY more complicated than they need to be.

It’s that complexity that quickly leads to them being worthless, because if you don’t remember, review, and use them to guide your actions, what’s the point?

It’s for that reason I want to teach you the most simple goal-setting strategy I’ve ever discovered… and all it takes to implement is a single word…

1 Word Goal

What

• Choose a single positive word that represents the mindset you want to prioritize for the year

• This word becomes a guiding theme that shapes your perspective, habits, priorities, and decisions

Why

• One word is easy to remember and act on

  • Long goals, sentences, or resolutions are easy to forget and often lead to little change

• Words have real power—they inspire, motivate, encourage, and heal

  • Using one intentionally as a goal gives that power direction

How

• Choose one word—not a phrase, statement, or affirmation—that personally resonates with you

• Treat the word as a constant mental reference throughout the year

• Use the word and what it represents to guide your choices and actions

  • Think of it as the simplest—but most powerful—one-year goal you’ve ever set

• Choose a new word each year

Mini-Workshop

• Grab a blank sheet of paper and brainstorm 10 words that represent a belief, trait, or mindset you want to develop

  • Examples: Fearless, Happy, Action, Authentic, Creative, Simplicity, Organized, Consistent

• Set the list aside for 24 hours to let it sink in

• Review the list the next day and:

  • Cross out 7 words that resonate the least

  • Select one word as your focus

• Place your word where you’ll see it often:

  • Phone lock screen, desktop, or Post-it notes

• Spend time each night to reflect on how your word influenced your thoughts, feelings, and actions that day
