Hey Guys!
Today I am going to touch on a topic that is very important to everyone’s success, both in business and in your personal lives.
That is the topic of goal setting.
We must set goals to achieve the things we want in life. And as a mentor of mine Dean Holland pointed out the other day, it is good to set these into
different categories. For example, set your yearly goals. Then set your quarterly goals. Then set your monthly goals. Then set your weekly goals.
And then of course, set your daily goals, or the important ‘To Do’ list.
By breaking these out into sections, it is not so overwhelming. Make lists of “Targets “not just”Tasks”. Many people fill their time doing tasks instead of having targets, probably
because they are afraid they won’t accomplish their targets and don’t want to be let down or discouraged.
But what we really need to do, and so many in this world don’t do, is start with the most important task and biggest task at the beginning of your day, instead
of doing a lot of little meaningless tasks to be able to check them all off your list as if you have accomplished a lot. If you do the big , hard task first,
you will actually get a lot more important success in your life and feel a lot better that you got it done, which in turn motivates you to do a lot more with confidence.
So before you get burned out and lose energy from a bunch of little tasks, that then keep you from doing the big tasks, reverse this thinking and do it the other way around.
I think then you will truly find satisfaction and happiness and then be able to achieve your goals much easier.So let’s do this!
Until next time,
Jim O’Brien
