"Never Lose sight of your Goal"
"Circumstances may cause interruptions and delays, but never lose sight of your goal. Prepare yourself in every way you can by increasing your knowledge and adding to your experience, so that you can make the most of opportunity when it occurs.'"
Mario Andretti Auto Racer
- Taken from Paul Bursey's Post on Never Lose Sight of Your Goal
-----------------
Goals are essential in business and in general. Without Goals we would be driving blind, its like getting in your car without a map and without knowing your destination. You're going to be lost without a map.
Most people do have goals and know where they are going, but most don't write them down and don't regularly remind themselves on their goals.
What have you set for yourself? What's your desire, what do you see yourself achieving 30, 60, 90 days from now. These should be questions that you are asking yourself.
So how do you set your Goals?
People do this differently, but most have three types of goals, these are normally the due to the length of term of these goals. That is Short term, Medium term, and Long term goals, these usually are monthly goals, ranging from 30, 60, 90, to blocks of 3 months at a time.
I suggest starting with what you'd see yourself doing in 12 months from now. Write that down what you want to achieve in 1 years time, either that be achieving a 6-figure income or buying a house. Be specific and write down the details of it, such as '6 bedroom house with an indoor swimming pool, by the lakeside.'
Write it down in present tense. Use lines like "I will achieve..., I will make..., I will... on the 18th of july".
Than write down your short term and medium term goals, these are pretty much goals leading up to your Long term goal.
Its a big difference from having goals in your head and goals on paper because you have to know why your doing and what is the purpose of this. And writing this down on paper confirms your goals in your thoughts.
The time you spent working on a business, is time away from family and friends and other things you want to be doing. So make that time count and know what and why you are doing it for!
And this is all driving you - because not only its for you its also for your business and the people working with you, where people will pick up on this and know that you have a purpose and driven by it. People want this leadership, they want to follow and have that energy your are radiating.
Goals will change over time, sometimes you'll reset a goal that you didn't achieve. Which is fine, just reset the date to achieve it and get to work on it.
So grab a pen and paper and start setting your Goals if you haven't done so!
Make it a Great Day!
