The Compass

Goal setting is a powerful process for personal development and achievement, but it requires more than just listing objectives. Without structure and clarity, goals can quickly become overwhelming or lose focus. The Compass Goal Setting process provides a systematic approach that ensures each step you take aligns with your broader purpose, making your path to success more intentional and impactful.

​

This method revolves around five key elements - Calling, Checkpoints, Commitments, Check-ins, and Calibrate - designed to keep you both grounded and adaptable. It begins with identifying your Calling, the foundational vision or purpose that drives your actions. From there, you create Checkpoints to measure progress, followed by defining Commitments - the specific actions necessary to reach those milestones. Regular Check-ins help you evaluate and celebrate progress, while the Calibrate phase ensures you stay flexible, adjusting your approach as needed.

​

The Compass Goal Setting process integrates intention with action. It doesn’t just help you pursue goals, but empowers you to grow in alignment with your highest aspirations. This framework isn’t just about achieving more; it’s about achieving what truly matters. Whether you’re striving in the realms of Faith, Family, Fullness, Fitness, or Finance, this method offers a clear path forward that keeps your long-term vision front and center.

​

By adopting this structured approach, you not only create goals but also ensure that each step contributes to your larger mission, ultimately helping you become the person you're destined to be. This is more than goal setting - it's about leveling up your life, aligned with the principles of Code5.

​

​

1. Calling

Definition: Identify your core purpose or life vision, which serves as your guiding force.

Action: Reflect deeply on your values and long-term aspirations. Use this insight to write a personal mission statement that becomes the foundation for all your goals.

​

2. Checkpoints

Definition: Set measurable, incremental milestones that help you track your progress.

Action: Break your larger goal into specific, achievable markers (e.g., saving $5,000 or running a 5K). These should be tangible results that can serve as indicators of progress.

​

3. Commitments

Definition: Outline the specific actions or tasks required to meet each checkpoint.

 

Action: Make a prioritized list of tasks, focusing on those that will significantly move you toward each checkpoint. Ensure these are actionable steps, not just ideas.

​

4. Check-Ins

Definition: Regularly evaluate your progress toward your goals.

Action: Schedule frequent reviews (weekly, monthly) to assess whether you’re hitting your checkpoints. Use these check-ins to celebrate wins and identify any obstacles.

​

5. Calibrate

Definition: Adjust your approach as needed to stay aligned with your ultimate calling.

 

Action: Based on your check-in results, refine your strategies, timelines, or tasks. Adjust your path while keeping your core mission intact.

​

Summary

The Compass Goal Setting process integrates purpose, actionable milestones, and continuous reflection. It offers a roadmap for goal achievement by maintaining adaptability while staying true to your ultimate calling.

​

This system aligns with Code5's philosophy, guiding you to level up across Faith, Family, Fullness, Fitness, and Finance. Through this process, you ensure that all goals you set contribute toward personal growth in each of these essential areas.
