More Goals - or maybe less

Goals Part Two

As I thought last time,it didn't last (Arsenal on top)– this time as ever in football not enough goals . Goals – they are the stuff of quote websites , you know the sort of thing “without goals you can't score”.... “Goals are the fuel in the furnace of achievement” and so on and on and on . Its as if to set a goal is all you need to do .As many people find (and teams) wanting to achieve is not enough . The goal has to be realistic and achievable as before . As a company and as a team you need to have a working and repeatable process to achieve - really successful people are self aware , self confident and understand their process.

The goal should as before broken into small ones which make you jump out of bed with enthusiasm ,because you know its within your reach .I'm never going to be a jockey or even less likely a singer .

OK so you have a big goal – winning the premiership – broken down into smaller goals “we take every game as it comes ,John”.Or more seriously your business goal is become the premier supplier of printed plastic media in the North of England but first you wish to be pre-eminent in Wakefield .So how does that translate into action and how does that work from day to day ?

1 You must have an emotional tie into it . The benefit of achieving it must be so wow that it drives you on . Many people are driven by misfortune , or I'll show them – there is evidence that some highly successful people are driven that way . That might work for you (it doesn't for me) but find that emotional tie in and you will drive forward .

2This emotion should provide focus

3 The long term aim should not be lost in the day to day necessary stuff of breaking bigger into smaller shorter term goals .


Next time I will spell out the goal setting process in more detail – if this blog or any other or any other info I have posted , contact me and will can have a chat about the possible way forward for you – pc@bostonclarke.co.uk / 07876173444
