5-Step Goal Setting Guide
5-Step Goal Setting Guide
1. Write down your goal - - make sure it is specific, measurable, time-bound and fits who you are...honors your values, your strengths or who you're working to become.
2. Write down why the goal is important - - what is it about this goal that motivates you to reach for it? What happens if you do not achieve this goal?
3. Identify obstacles, risks or personal beliefs that could prevent you from achieving the goal and develop your plan/action steps that will help you avoid these pit-falls.
4. Take consistent action and make a list of people (friends, family members, a coach, etc.) who can provide support and accountability at each step along the way.
5. Celebrate your accomplishment... It's important to "Mark" or honor your achievements (as well as plan for mini-celebrations along the path of success). Make sure the reward or celebration is meaningful so it will provide focus and persistence as you implement your daily strategies.
There! That wasn't so painful, was it?! :-) I hope you achieve BIG goals this year that exceed everyone's expectations and help you get the most out of your life.

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?"
