In a world of elevator speeches and social media, we have nurtured a generation with a very short attention span. In this book, Dean has done a wonderful job in presenting important information in simple yet impactful nuggets so they can be quickly and easily absorbed. We know goals are very important in the sense that "when you fail to plan, you plan to fail", but there are many other things presented in the book for example the riddle "If there are 5 frogs on a log and 3 decide to jump off, how many frogs are still on the log?" Answer is 5 because deciding is not doing! Very good point. Then you get a worksheet on the next page to call your bluff, so you have to list your goals. Very nice! It's as if I was being called out and forced to list my goals and I loved that! Cheezy, but effective! Reading the book forces you to evaluate yourself. Where many people may read a book to find answers, Dean understands, everyone has different goals so the only way to truly get you (the reader) to answer them is to present questions to you. I enjoyed how he helps nudge those answers out by presenting quotes, philosophies and other motivational items to get your mind thinking about your own personal goals. If anything, he gets 5 starts simply for nurturing those thoughts and getting me thinking before answering my goal evaluation questions. For a younger generation, it probably would be helpful if there were more illustrations or photos to pump the reader up, but nevertheless highly recommended!

Dean breaks it all down in a super easy to digest little manual on setting big goals and what steps to take to achieve them. The exercises help to get clear on what we're really trying to accomplish, and the biggest slap of truth is page 122: "We don't forget our goals; we forget WHY they are our goals."It's so true. I can remember all the things I said I would do, but half of them I don't know why I ever wanted to do them in the first place. It makes it easy to quit something if it's a hollow goal. Big PHAT Goals is all about getting rid of the meaningless clutter and setting your sights on the big, juicy, meaningful stuff that you really want.

Unfortunately too many people don’t have specific goals they want to attain in life. Those that do have goals, rarely write them out and put plans of action in place to accomplish their goals. Big PHAT Goals is a great tool, even for those people who have goals and work toward accomplishing them.As Dean Lindsay points out in the book, goals need to be Pretty Hot And Tempting or they likely will not be accomplished. Big PHAT Goals is packed full of perspective, inspirational quotes, lessons, and workspace to take you to your next level of goal accomplishment.

I love Dean's creative approach to goal setting. Using his Six Steps of Progress -- Peace of Mind; Pleasure, Profit, Prestige, Pain Avoidance and Power -- I was able to change my mindset to "craft" my goals into small chunks utilizing the various Big PHAT exercises throughout the book! I appreciate the hands on approach and not just a typical "how to" read about goals like so many others. The quotes are a great motivational touch to each chapter. Thank you, Dean, for sharing your expertise on helping me make progress in my business!

This book breaks into the steps that we need to take to achieve any goal. Write them down in detail, visualize them everyday and yes it takes discipline. Whether it's your personal or business life, if you are clear and you make those goals clear to your team, by not only writing them down they will propel us to action. One of the points Dean makes clear is it's okay to rewrite, to refine how you will get there. Great book, easy to understand so you can set some big phat goals for yourself or your team.
