Goals
As Arsenal sit atop the Premiership (21/01/10),I included the date as this could change (are all football followers pessimists ?)my thoughts turn to the importance of goals .
Goals are important , without them you can’t score . They add focus and achieving them gives you a reason to celebrate (shirt over your head might not suit your business).
They are loads of models for goal setting but the important point is that the goal should be stretching but possible , measurable and relevant . Even more important than all that stuff is that your goals should make you bounce out of bed ready to go do them , the reason to store that bogof champers in the back of the fridge .
Great big goals are terrific but are far more likely to be achieved when split into smaller clearly defined ones, every journey starts with a single step.
By the setting of these sharply defined goals you can raise your self esteem , confidence as you realise the possibilities that your business future becomes .
Developing this further; getting the goal , vision , objective right and communicating it well to your staff , family , supporters will retain support and staff enabling your business to stride forward confidently into the future .

Two Things
Happy New Year – again
Two things today
Kirklees Council in their wisdom decided that Castle Hall School in Mirfield was to close under the brighter futures scheme . The Office for School Adjudicator ruled against this , which is great news for Mirfield and north Kirklees .
The big thing here is that the schools in Mirfield , the parents , the students , the governors said NO to Kirklees and were vindicated . This is a great decision for common sense against council stupidity .
I attended some council meetings on this issue and found the council members to be arrogant and smug at best .
So there were lots of smiles in Mirfield last night and today .
And to finish I met someone today at a networking event called Paul Clarke – which is truly strange and the first time ever .
OK thanks for reading – nothing deep and meaningful – so the quote from Ian Dury “I’d rather be a mug than smug”

Coaching Reduces Panic - FACT
Happy New Year !
Coaching Reduces Panic - Fact!
Over the past years I've been involved with a large range of enterprises and I'm delighted to be able to say that the coaching I've provided has made a difference, a huge difference in many instances. The proof of this comes in many ways, from testimonials through to repeat business and recommendations from satisfied clients to others who then use our services.
There's also another altogether more dramatic piece of evidence that coaching works and it's this: When initially involved with new clients I frequently receive a relatively large volume of "panic emails" about all sorts of issues, occasionally at the earliest of times, 3:00am not being untypical. The reason behind this, of course, is that SMEs don't have massive problem-solving resources at their disposal and they soon run out of the ability to cope with a variety of problems that are impacting adversely on their operations. More importantly, if not quickly resolved these problems can and do bring SMEs to their knees which is why "panic-calls" are often viewed as absolutely necessary.
Studying my own experiences as a business coach over the last few years I was able to track the way in which instances of the nature described above peaked within the first few days or weeks of my coaching involvement and then rapidly reduced before disappearing altogether. It's happened again very recently with a new client who was literally ringing me at 3:00am during the embryonic stage of our working relationship. She's now so busy actually running her business thanks to the coaching she's received that she is unable to meet with me again for two months. She's therefore an extremely happy and satisfied client.
If you are experiencing panic attacks within your business about where to go next or what to do next – then Boston Clarke's coaching programs will help . Our coaching approach is results oriented, practical, innovative and exciting. It also eliminates panic!
Cheers Paul
