If traditional Goal Setting exercises worked, why are we setting the same New Year's Resolutions year after year? If SMART Goals were so SMART, why haven't we achieved our goals and started living the life of our dreams?In this book, mentor, speaker, and leadership coach Stephanie Dee Smith shares the secret to moving Beyond SMART Goal Setting and on to Dream Goal Getting. She links our goals to our values, and suddenly it all becomes clear. We've been setting the wrong goals Stephanie leads you through the 5 Steps to Discovering Your Core Values and Living Your Best Life Ever. And she reassures you that it's not too late. If you think you have missed your opportunity for achieving your life's Big Dreams, she shows readers, in her slightly "in your face" motivational style, "that is where you are wrong. And if you wait long enough, you are going to be DEAD WRONG."Every one of us was created for some great purpose. At some point in our lives we have all felt that silent nudge. It starts like a quiet pull on our soul - a constant, almost sub-conscious reminder that tells us we should be doing something more with our lives. The longer we ignore it, the louder it gets.Stephanie shares a quote by Andrew Carnegie, "If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy, and inspires your hopes", reminding us that goals aren't about checking boxes on a list, they are about inspiring our hopes and dreams. Success in achieving those goals is simply a result of finding the right values-based habits and taking the necessary action steps to make them a part of your very essence. If you've seen Stephanie speak in person, you've seen her big, excited personality fill the room. In this book, she has captured that lively spirit and her famous quips jump from the page, as in "You are not a tree" and "Never fight a goat over a patch of grass". Do you agree it's time to move from Goal Setting to Goal Getting? This book is your guide for Dreaming Big and Living the Life You Were Meant to Live.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A film legend recalls his remarkable life of nearly eight decades--a heralded actor who's played the roles he wanted, from Brian's Song to Lando in the Star Wars universe--unchecked by the racism and typecasting so rife in the mostly all-white industry in which he triumphed. "Effortlessly charming. . . Williams] writes with clarity and intimacy, revealing the person behind the persona." --Maya S. Cade, The New York Times Book Review "The story of a legend, written by the legend himself Impressive, inspiring, entertaining and endearing." --J. J. AbramsBilly Dee Williams was born in Harlem in 1937 and grew up in a household of love and sophistication. As a young boy, he made his stage debut working with Lotte Lenya in an Ira Gershwin/Kurt Weill production where Williams ended up feeding Lenya her lines. He studied painting, first at the High School of Music and Art, with fellow student Diahann Carroll, and then at the National Academy of Fine Art, before setting out to pursue acting with Herbert Berghoff, Stella Adler, and Sidney Poitier. His first film role was in The Last Angry Man, the great Paul Muni's final film. It was Muni who gave Billy the advice that sent him soaring as an actor, "You can play any character you want to play no matter who you are, no matter the way you look or the color of your skin." And Williams writes, "I wanted to be anyone I wanted to be." He writes of landing the role of a lifetime: co-starring alongside James Caan in Brian's Song, the made-for-television movie that was watched by an audience of more than fifty million people. Williams says it was "the kind of interracial love story America needed." And when, as the first Black character in the Star Wars universe, he became a true pop culture icon, playing Lando Calrissian in George Lucas's The Empire Strikes Back ("What I presented on the screen people didn't expect to see"). It was a role he reprised in the final film of the original trilogy, The Return of the Jedi, and in the recent sequel The Rise of Skywalker. A legendary actor, in his own words, on all that has sustained and carried him through a lifetime of dreams and adventure.
