Thanks Gang for a fabulous call on Wednesday. I have created 3 posts on Vision, Mission, and Goals as we discussed. Please share your comments on what works for you.
Goals are the milestones to your vision. From past experience in helping hundred of people set goals I have found the biggest pitfall is that most people do not set clear, measurable goals. It really comes down to these steps:
1) A Clear Goal- You know exactly what you want... to write a book, to obtain a management position, to buy a new car, to pay off all credit cards. Something like 'To live a healthy lifestyle' would have to be clearly defined so you know exactly what your goal is.
2) Measurable- This is your score card. You can measure your progress. To pay off credit cards can be broken down into creating a budget and paying off so much per month.
3) Attainable- Unlike your vision your goals are attainable. Depending on your personality you can set them up to be easily attainable or to stretch yourself a bit if you like a challenge. For most people it is better to set goals you know you can achieve and build a track record of successes to build up confidence.
4) Have a Deadline- Set the date to achieve your goal and keep it in front of you.
5) Set up Action Steps- Set up the first 3 action steps you will take under each goal with deadlines to get you started. Action steps are the steps we take to reach goals. Begin!
