How to Start Creating Better Goals? The answer is in the title. Breakout goals serve as a catalyst for change. If you asked a salesperson what it takes to achieve success, they would tell you that it takes someone who has a clear vision of what they want. It takes someone who can see the opportunity.
That's where the action comes in! To stop looking for the missing piece and start creating better goals. Once you have created your vision, you must know where to go to get it. And once you have knowledge of the process to get it, you will stop looking for the missing piece. Then comes the step to actually do it!
So often, when people are presented with opportunities to create their own successful home business, the first reaction is to look for the simplest option. The answer to that question is going to be very different if you come from a complex work background. For instance, if you grew up in a small farm, your immediate reaction may be to look for the easiest way out. "What do I have to do to quit my job?" Most likely, you just quit your job.
Now, if you grew up in an industrial factory, your reaction might be, "Great! I want to be a successful engineer." Or, "I want to be a successful marketing executive." If you grew up in the middle of a giant diamond mine, your reaction might be, "Great! I want to be a successful jewelry designer."
But for most people growing up in a complex work environment, the first reaction will be, "There's got to be a better way to do this." This is where the silver bullet comes in. In this case, it's about learning how to be successful in life without compromising your current career. In other words, you learn how to be successful in life by finding a way to stop looking for the quick fix and start creating better goals that are going to take you to the next level in your career.
When I started researching successful people and how they developed smart goals, I realized something very important. Most successful people, or successful businesspeople in particular, didn't set unrealistic goals. They set smart goals. Smart goals are ones where you can tell yourself, if you do this, then you'll get this much money this time next year, this much equity, etc. But the secret is, they didn't give up on the big picture in their jobs, they rethought about what they wanted out of their careers, and they set long term plans.
So, instead of trying to hit a home run with a well-written goal, which might be, "I'll make five million dollars by next Wednesday", you can say, "I'll make five min salary increases every week until I reach my goals for the next five years". Then, when you're done, you can look at the math and say, "That's not as much money as I thought it was going to be." The trick is in the language we use. We use complicated work with impromptu networking as the main ingredient to get the big payoff.
I've always liked the quote from Napoleon Hill: "If the only tool you have for success is a good book, read it!" And I think you should read your smart goals, breakdowns, and monthly goals in a smart methodology. You will see that you will actually create more success if you implement that method in your life every day. And that's what I'm going to help you do.
