As the year draws to a close it is time to discuss setting goals. This is a sore subject for so many people and even makes some angry. Yet not having a goal is like making a cross country drive without a map.
What is a goal?
Each of us has our own dreams, ideas, and vision of success. Add in your needs, your strengths and weaknesses, it means there can not be a single universal goal, nor even a plan on how to achieve it. Back to the road map, goal setting is like deciding on a destination. When you decide where you want to be you can start planning.
How do I achieve a goal?
After you have decided to travel from Florida to California you would need to decide how you are going to get there. What roads are you going to take? Are you going to take side trips? Where are you going to stop?
In setting goals, perhaps you decided to get a website online. Now you need to ask yourself some questions. Do you want to have a site you can maintain? Are you going to hire someone? What do you want your site to look like?
Why so many questions?
If you have been on a road trip you know there are lots of questions. But the questions help define how you will get to California. In setting goals, the questions help you decide what is needed and decide on a route to get to the end goal. Back to getting a website online, your first stop is getting a domain name, then hosting. Getting information to put on the site. You can’t know what to put on the site without knowing what your site is going to cover.
Can I do this?
While the end goal is your destination, when you plot out all the points along the way the path becomes easier. Just knowing what you need to do and when will help. Your future is in your hands! YOU GO ROCKSTAR!!
