1.	I can't change my clients.
2.	The relationship between client and counselor is what is therapeutic.
3.	Let the relationship determine values, goals, and actions.
4.	Any 'worst' solution (goal) from my client is better than the 'best' solution I can suggest.
5.	Focus on what a client enjoys/is good at and what she would like more of.
6.	Well formed goals are self-initiated by the client.
7.	Better formed goals describe the presence of something (for example, when you "stop" one thing what will you "start?")
8.	Well formed goals are tangible (Behavioral/Measurable).
9.	Well formed goals are small. (First smallest next thing.)
10.	Goals are congruent with the person's values/feelings/perceptions.
11.	Human behavior is emotionally meaningful and functional for any given individual. When the behavior ceases to provide meaning and function it stops of its own accord.
12.	Respect and honor peoples' decisions to not change (it serves a function for them).
13.	Goaling requires a "ticket of entry" from a client: A contract/acknowledgment that we may proceed.
14.	Success Builds Success: A change in one area tends to promote change in other areas.
