Is Goal a 4 Letter Word?
Is Goal a 4 Letter Word?
The only failure possible in a mistake is the failure to learn from the mistake. Without mistakes, crap decisions, things breaking and the whole world conspiring against people – we would have no inventions – No Eureka moments, would we?
So make sure you do lots of thinks, take calculated risks and most of all give your self a chance to fail – at least you can learn another way not to do what you want to do.
Eddison, the inventor of the light bulb, was not immediately successful. In fact he failed lots of times and after failing nearly 10,000 times his exasperated assistant asked him if he was going to finally give up.
Looking at him perplexed, Eddison asked why he could possibly give up, after all he had now discovered 9,999 ways not to make a light bulb – suffice to say, if you are reading this indoors, you know he succeeded!
So are you someone who really cares about what you want – or are you one of the crowd?
We all like companions, s o we often follow the crowd!
But stop! And maybe you could reflect on the following;
* It is the crowd that retires without enough to really live on in comfort
* It is the crowd that never achieves financial freedom.
* It is the crowd that sits in traffic for 3 hours a day, going to a job they don't love
* The crowd just exists in a world where they know there is more to life but they never seem to get off the mill wheel.
I don't know if you are different, and if you want to stand out from the crowd only you know why you are reading this right now. Do you know what you wish to achieve and where you really want to go with your life?
Now back to Goal Setting – is it useful? – absolutely, provided you have the discipline to set the goals and take massive action towards the goal.
And also remember – it actually doesn't matter if you achieve the goal, as long as you work your butt off towards achieving it, and of course changing direction if the circumstances dictate it.
So why does it not matter if you don't make or achieve you goal – could I not have just done nothing? - You may ask.
The benefit of the goal is achieved when you take the action towards it – it creates the unstoppable momentum that will propel you towards your passion.
Yes, go on you can do it – you can take this first step.
Finally, I would like to make it patently clear that this article is not a plug for my coaching services for executives and sales people. It is intended as something to help you grow.
Whether you can do this on your own or with my help is again something you must decide for your self – there is no way I could know, unless you contact me and tell me you want coaching.

But what does setting a goal really mean – are you a failure if you don't succeed – sure you know the answer to that – but it may not be what you are thinking.

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?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
