The BOOST Goals System
(
chapter 12)

What Is
BOOST?

Many people struggle with goal-setting – not because they lack ambition, but because they don’t have a system that works. Some methods are inspiring but vague. Others offer structure but fail to excite. BOOST bridges this gap by combining the best of five proven goal-setting frameworks into one practical, powerful system.

How Does
BOOST
Work?

Each element in BOOST was selected to solve a specific problem in the goal-setting journey.

  • BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goals) inspires bold, long-term vision — the kind of goals that truly motivate.

  • OKR (Objectives and Key Results) translates that vision into clear, measurable progress.

  • SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) encourages self-awareness and strategic thinking.

  • SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) brings clarity and structure to your plan.

  • 80/20 Rule (The Pareto Principle) helps you focus your energy on the actions that will make the biggest difference.

Each of these models is widely respected – from personal development to Fortune 500 strategy. But used alone, they only take you part of the way. BHAGs are motivating but can feel out of reach. SMART goals are practical but can feel too small. Many goal-setting problems come from leaning too hard on one framework and ignoring the rest.

BOOST brings them together, guiding you to start with ambition, stay focused with structure, stay aware of your own patterns, and spend your time where it counts.

This makes BOOST different. It helps you set goals that are big enough to inspire, clear enough to follow, and grounded enough to actually achieve. Whether you’re setting personal goals, planning a career step, or leading a team, BOOST is designed to flex around your needs — short-term or long-term, personal or professional.

Success doesn’t just happen because you want it badly enough. It comes from aligning desire with a system that works. BOOST gives you both: the spark to dream bigger and the structure to make it happen.
