Vision Is Power

We must be clear about what we want.  It must be truly important to us.  We must believe that we can achieve it. It is the power to transcend "what is" and bring into existence what does not now exist -- the power whereby anything worthwhile is accomplished. Vision consists of three parts:

Clarity --- Value --- Faith

Everything that exists was first created in the mind. People who succeed are first and foremost people of vision.  Do you know people who live their lives from vision?  What characteristics do these people have in common? 

What keeps us from achieving our visions?  Most often it is our own thinking. Think about those beliefs that keep you from achieving your vision.

How can you translate your vision into reality?  Set specific goals to achieve your vision.  Vision is what you want to achieve; goals are how you will get there.

Until next time...

Journeys Without Destinations

When you define precisely what you want, you will  have a much better chance of getting it than when you do not have clear goals. "Activities without goals are like journeys without destinations."

Why is measurability the key to goal success?  If it is not measurable, it is not a goal; it’s a dream or a wish!  You can turn wishes and dreams into achievable goals by creating SMART goals which are Specific, Measurable,  Achievable, Realistic & Time-bound.

Top performers considered themselves intensely “goal-oriented”. Think of 3 business goals you want to achieve, complete our "Business Goals Worksheet" and share your SMART goals.

Until next time...

SMART Goals

SMART Goals are specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bound.  It is much more likely that you achieve your goal if you make it a SMART Goal ("I will lose 15 pounds by May 31 by eating fewer fats and desserts, more fruits and veggies, walking briskly for 45 minutes 3 times a week, and weighing myself weekly") as opposed to what I call a New Year's Resolution ("I will lose weight this year").

• Specific - Consider the difference between, "We want to sell more contracts than have ever been sold within this company," and "Our goal is to sell 20,000 units by March 15." Specific goals paint a much clearer picture for people and let them know exactly how they are doing in achieving them.
• Measurable - Most goals should be quantifiable and measurable. If not, they are probably wishful thinking rather than a goal and not likely to be attained.
• Achievable - Although challenging, goals must not discourage team members who may conclude that they are impossible or too difficult to attain. Goals need to cause people to stretch but be perceived as "doable."
• Realistic - Goals should be realistic and within reach.  Team members must believe that the goal can be accomplished and be willing to commit to the goal.
• Time-Bound - A goal should also have a timeframe for its completion.  This will vary depending upon the nature of the goal. However, without a timeframe, there is not pressure to compel people towards its accomplishment.

Until next time...
