Week 4 of January 2022 is still a great time to set and achieve goals. Notice that I said, “set and achieve”. If you only think about step one, setting a goal, without WHY and HOW you will achieve it, you miss the opportunity to set the tone to take action that drives success.
Why Set Goals?
- Pursue your passion and purpose based upon your WHY
- Make effective decisions, take action, and bring out “the best” in you
- Maximize individual, team, and organizational potential
- Invest your time and energy in activities to achieve the results YOU desire!
If you don’t set your own goals, someone else will set them for you!
Identify your Goal
- Be sure it’s SMART – Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Timely
- Identify and be prepared to celebrate the rewards for achieving it
- Know and care about the consequences if you don’t achieve it
- Own your goal and embrace WIIFM (What’s In It For Me?) to increase motivation
Create your Action Plan
- Identify obstacles, barriers, distractions, interruptions, negative mindsets
- Brainstorm possible solutions to overcome obstacles and barriers
- Identify the action steps including research, planning, creating processes, etc.
- Create a timeline for each action step as it relates to daily, weekly, monthly activities
Achieve your Goal
- Identify affirmations, I AM statements, that reflect you have accomplished the goal
- Embrace the time, energy, and dollars to achieve the results YOU desire
- Implement your action plan with confidence, motivation, and persistence
- Create habits and celebrate your successes to stimulate growth and development
Remember all things must be mentally accomplished
before they can be physically achieved.
Planning ~ It’s easier, cheaper, and faster than trial and error.
Would you build a house without a blueprint?
