Going Beyond Goal Setting
Achieving Goals, Not Just Setting Them
People often hesitate to set new goals because past ones remained unachieved. The focus needs to shift from goal setting to goal achievement.
The Problem with Goal Setting
A quick search for "goal setting" yields millions of results, underscoring its perceived importance. Books, seminars, and websites abound with techniques, yet many people don't set goals. Why? Often, it's because previous goals were not realized.
Seminars and books often emphasize the process of setting goals but stop short of guiding you to achieve them. It's like ending a game after the first play. To make progress, shift your focus from setting goals to achieving them.
Shifting Focus to Achievement
1. Get Motivated: Often, real progress begins when you're fed up with the status quo. Dissatisfaction with your current situation can drive you to achieve new goals. This doesn't mean becoming negative; instead, develop a healthy desire for change.
2. Stay Excited About the Result: Challenges and setbacks are inevitable, but staying focused on the benefits of achieving your goal will keep you motivated. Visualize the positive outcomes and remember that even if goals evolve, the end result remains your target.
3. Start Planning and Take Action: You don't need a perfect plan to begin. Large goals require flexibility and adaptation. Rather than waiting for the perfect moment or information, start with a general approach and some initial steps. Clarity will come as you progress.
By focusing on these three aspects, your success in achieving goals will significantly increase. Without them, momentum, focus, and hope can diminish quickly, leading to the belief that goal setting doesn’t work for you.
Whether setting goals for yourself or your organization, prioritize preparing for success over crafting perfect goals. Focus on the determination required to succeed, bringing you closer to your potential with less frustration.
By emphasizing goal achievement, you'll find greater success and help both yourself and your organization move forward effectively.
