Step One - Define


Define your REAL Goal.
Without a goal you are floating in the middle of a large ocean on a boat with no rudders and no anchors. You must make sure that your training is in keeping with the end goal in mind.

Many people contact us and say things like, "I want to take a Spanish class a couple of times a week. How much does it cost?"

Taking a Spanish class is not a goal. Spending money is not a goal. Those are both activities. Some people say, "I want to buy some Spanish tapes to listen to in my car." Again, that is not a goal, that is an activity.

The question is, "What is your real goal?" Once you define your goal, then we can move to Step Two.

Do you want to:

  • Supervise Hispanics on a job site?
  • Train technicians in Latin America?
  • Give presentations in Spanish?
  • Handle calls in a call center?
  • Talk with counterparts in Latin America?
  • Hire Hispanics?
  • Sell "widgets" to Hispanics?
  • Romance your mate in Spanish?
  • Talk with your in-laws?

The question again is, "What exactly do you want to accomplish?" The answer to that question will dictate your solution.

Here’s a tip on how to define your goal:

Generally speaking, we encourage people to define their goal as follows:

“My goal is to communicate well with Hispanics in order to

____________________________________________.”

It is very important that you define your real goal if you want to achieve it.
