As we are only a few weeks into the New Year and with the kids safely back at school and business heating up it seems an appropriate time to remind you of this appropriate homily I wrote a few years back.
Almost everyone wants to achieve success but many people just don’t know how to go about it. They aim at nothing and hit it with amazing accuracy! Yet the simple secret to achieving goals and objectives is to set them – if you set ’em, you’ll get ’em!
Astonishingly there are countless numbers of people who haven’t set goals in either their personal or business lives. By not having anything to strive towards, any result they achieve is accepted as okay.
Everyone should make a point of having short-term, medium-term and long-term goals. Short-term goals, in particular, are of critical importance because they are goals that are a week away, a month away or certainly no more than a year away.
Work less, charge more and have your customers loving it!
Marketing Magic
Goals also need to be specific, measurable and quantifiable. For example, don’t just plan to walk every day— aim to walk for 30 minutes at 6 o’clock every morning. Having a specific target means you know exactly where you’re going as well as having a measuring stick to go by.
It doesn’t matter what you want to achieve… personally or in business… having a goal is critical. It’s like having a signpost. How will you know how you’ve done unless you have signposts to mark your progress?
Take the time to decide where you want to be now, next month or next year. You’ll be amazed to discover that, when you set those goals, you achieve them.
Remember – If you set ’em, you’ll get ’em… and if you don’t you won’t!
