Goal Setting: Are you steering toward success?
Have you ever found yourself working feverishly only to realize you don’t know what you’re trying to achieve?
If so, you’re not alone. Ask virtually anyone how they’re doing today, and you’ll likely hear how busy they are. However, many people are moving constantly but not going anywhere. They’re wasting time and energy without making purposeful progress.
While none of us would hop into our car and just start driving without a clear destination in mind, that’s often how we approach other aspects of our lives—and that’s especially true in our working lives. When we lack or lose sight of our clear goals and objectives and get caught up in the daily grind of getting things done, frustration is sure to result.
Some of the symptoms of having unclear goals and objectives are:
Difficulty in making decisions: When you don’t know where you’re headed, every decision is, at best, winging it and hoping for the best.
Inefficiency and waste: Without clear objectives, you often discover that the effort you’ve been expending has been in the wrong direction.
Decreased motivation: The uncertainty and feelings of futility that are sure to follow are fatal to enthusiasm and drive.
Increased indifference: Inevitably, since you can’t know that anything you do matters, the default becomes to simply get through each day and hope for the best.
Sound familiar?
Now, imagine having a crystal-clear vision of what you want to achieve. You know precisely where you’re headed, so you can plan the steps needed to get you there and make course corrections along the way while maintaining forward progress.
Here’s how together we can make that dream a reality:
Comprehensive goal setting: We’ll start by considering your myriad options until we find the ideal goal you want to achieve.
Create an action plan: Once your destination is set, we’ll break the journey into a series of small, manageable steps so that you can keep moving forward incrementally and systematically.
Set S.M.A.R.T. goals: We’ll work together to ensure that your end goal and all the steps along the way are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound.
Regular review: We’ll maintain alignment through accountability as we review your progress together, address any challenges, and adjust the plan as necessary.
Maintain motivation: We’ll slow down to recognize and celebrate each milestone as you successfully make progress toward your ultimate goal.
Picture yourself knowing that your efforts are effective because they are purposely and productively moving you along the path to the goal you’ve defined.
You deserve to feel that way, and I’m here to help.
