Podcast: Goals | How to Set Goals and Achieve Your Vision
With the new year upon us and the past year presenting so many challenges, the ability to set and move ahead with your Goals is imperative.
It sets the Future, a Vision that moves us beyond the past and allows us to achieve that which seems unattainable. But how do you effectively set and achieve your goals? Interestingly, I engage with companies and leaders looking for answers to increasing innovation, productivity, or efficiency, each seemingly distinct but separate Goals. There is nothing wrong with this thinking other than the intent should be to tie them all together to improve your brand and teams. However, the realization hits them when they consistently fail and do not embrace the risk required to succeed. These scenarios reflect the real world, where only 8% of those who set goals achieve them.
In my new Visionary Chronicles Podcast, Goals | How to Set Goals and Achieve your Vision, I address this question, providing insightful principles on setting goals properly and executing them through a step-by-step process.
When setting Goals, they must be challenging but attainable. Here are ten proven Principles for assuring Goals are stretched but attainable ;
- Change your daily Habits or Routines to enhance productivity. Look at your daily/hourly routine, and disrupt it to find more time.
- Be realistic with your Goals, but offer up a Stretch to achieving them. They must be attainable, but only through sweat and failure. Give everyone a sense of accomplishment.
- Find support where needed after analyzing your daily Habits/Routine. You can not achieve success consistently without some help…find it.
- Take Two Steps Forward and one Step back. The path to Success is not a straight line, step back and evaluate the way forward.
- Share Success, Embrace Failure. Failure is your pathway to eventual Success.
- Move out of the Status quo to realize your Vision. Break free from Habits, and change your routine to be more effective. Also, don't multi-task; your brain likes to complete one path before moving on to another.
- Realize progress, find what works and what does not. Then, do more of what works and less of what does not. Simple but powerful!
- Have Faith, know you are not alone—calming influence in turbulent times.
- Times change, be ready to make your move. Covid should be a lesson learned when being prepared to Adapt.
- Always be moving forward. When you take two steps forward, just do not take three back.
Within these principles, you will find roadblocks and barriers to achieving eventual Success. But just stick to your path no matter how rocky. The old cliché holds if it were easy, everyone would do it.
Set definitive goals, change your habits, find support along the way, and have Faith that all things will work together for good.
Stay True, Stay Authentic, be Different, and be Great!
Enjoy the Journey!
