A short book about writing a vision statement as well as 5 year, 1 year and shorter goals.

This is a short, pretty standard breakdown of goal setting.
I did blink at her five year goal of having 400 works published on Amazon.

hmmm. published in 2016. So she might just make it? The titles are everything from the Care and feeding of Tadpoles to fiction works. I can't comment on the quality of any of them.
A lot of the advice herein relies on you clicking out to her external website, and that seems to be the point.

Got a free kindle copy.
Hard to call it a book, when it comes down to some twenty pages of advices on how to set goal for yourself and to improve the quality of your life in return.
Not bad advices per se, but unfortunately it's just that, a few pages of practical examples on how you could organize your daily/weekly/monthly/yearly tasks.
Too bad, there was so much to write on the topic.
A very quick, easy read perfect when commuting.
I will surely read more about this author.

A Relaxing Informative Read
The five star rating is well deserved because accomplished what she set out to, in this short book. It was an easy read because of the style and use of English. I felt like I was relaxing before a fireplace and at the same time engaged in a seminar. I recommend this book for those who are new at visioning and goal setting as well as those who could use a reminder.

Writing your vision uses this specific formula, the SMART goal. Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timely. The vision thats applies this formula has higher percentage to succeed. A simple and direct to the point book.

I am confused
Let me say upfront that I did enjoy the book. I am a little “dense” so the bridge between having a vision and working on goals seemed the same. It is probably me. Again, I did enjoy the book.

Don't know really
A book ,I guess with a variety of ideas about being positive, a great deal of prompts. Don't see myself fullfilling these tasks anytime soon.

Informative
Easy to follow, easy to understand and super easy to put into place. Setting achievable goals in a new way, for me at least.
Prioritising and ensuring completion.

Helpful step-by-step guide for vision and goals. Some steps vague, but useful for beginners. Decent strategy tool.

Basic. Short. Summed up what I know. The 12 Week Year is more detailed. I read the book in about 45 minutes.

Extremely short.
Not a bad thing though.
This will show you a quick method to writing your general vision statement: The "about you" that you would like to reach in the future. The vision statement is not about writing goals in detail. Lisa Shea, however, gives you the key to unlock a goal description and timeline for any achievement. It's not the best researched product out there, but it points you in the right direction. It's better than having no direction at all.
So why not give it a chance.
