Tips on Becoming Better at Achieving Your Goals
Use the one word strategy to augment success
According to a Harvard Business study, “3 percent of graduates from their MBA program” wrote down goals and 97 percent of them accomplished them within 10 years after graduating.
Do you have goals? Have you written them down in an effort to increase your chances of accomplishing them?
The one word strategy can augment your success in achieving goals.
Don’t plan useless goals that won’t ever get accomplished. Begin using the one word approach to make it possible to start achieving more goals. Use the following tips to get energized and start your one word action plan today.
1. Outline
To be successful with achieving your goals you should start with an outline. You must specifically define what you want to accomplish. You cannot be vague with your goals. Being vague won’t help you achieve anything, and you won’t have clear direction or know if you achieved your personal key performance indicators (KPI).
Remember the Harvard Business study. The research further revealed that 83 percent of the US population don’t have set goals in mind, 14 percent have goals without writing them out, and only three percent actually write their goals down.
Where do you find yourself among those statistics? I have goals. I haven’t always written them down. When I have written them down, I have had more success in accomplishing them.
Outline your plan. You won’t always stay on course, but that’s okay. It’s important to follow the outline as closely as possible. Just make sure you are open to making changes along the way.
2. Gauge
The second one word step in your goal planning strategy is gauge. You need to estimate the following:
· Limitations
· Boundaries
· Deadlines
It’s vital to identify the various parameters you’ll be working with in order to best gauge how you can get there. Maybe one of your goals is to become a team…
