The Neuroscience of Goal Setting.
Learn brain-backed strategies to set goals that stick — and leave with a ready-to-use worksheet.
Why goals matter
You can’t hit a target you can’t see.
Setting and achieving goals happens by law, not by chance. When we work in harmony with neuroscience-based models of change and spiritual wisdom, the results we achieve are holistic.
01
Only 4% set goals
Only 4% of people in the world set goals in their lives. The rest are usually working for them, helping them fulfil their goals.
02
Peace of mind
The master goal for 80% of people in this world is to achieve peace of mind.
03
Negative thoughts
The opposite of inner peace is negative thoughts. They feed negative emotions that cause stress and anxiety.
04
No clear purpose
The second major cause of stress and negativity is having no clear meaning, purpose or goal in life.
05
A GPS for the mind
Goals are the fuel in the furnace of success — a GPS installed within our mind that guides us day to day.
06
Clarity creates motivation
Successful people have a clear picture of what they want. That clarity is what gets them out of bed every day.
The problem
Why we don’t set — or achieve — our goals.
Five patterns the brain falls into, and why they stop us before we start.
01
No clear, specific target
Vague goals (“I will get fit…”) don’t trigger the brain networks that plan actions.
02
Overwhelm & perfectionism
Big goals feel risky. The brain prefers small, certain wins, so we avoid starting.
03
No written plan or cues
Unwritten goals stay in working memory and are easily derailed. Writing and external cues turn them into structured habits.
04
No accountability
Weekly reporting, or a partner, raises success rates substantially.
05
Faulty motivation wiring
We rely on willpower and hope. The brain responds better to immediate rewards, clear cues and small steps — the S3 strategy: Small Simple Steps.
What you’ll learn
By the end of the class, you will be able to:
Clear outcomes from one focused, 90-minute live class.
01
The neuroscience of motivation
Understand what drives motivation, habit formation and goal attainment — dopamine and reward, cue–routine–reward loops, prefrontal planning vs. emotional drivers.
02
SMART + Neuro goals
Turn a wish into a goal that is specific, measurable, actionable, realistic and time-bound — plus brain-friendly cues and rewards.
03
A bite-sized action plan
Write an action plan with implementation intentions and micro-habits that overcome overwhelm.
04
Accountability that works
Build an accountability and feedback system that measurably raises your odds of success.
05
21 / 40 / 66-day checkpoints
Use a simple worksheet and checkpoints to monitor progress and rewire habits for long-term follow-through.
