Moving From Goal Setting to Success
This week I taught a class on how to build a public platform while writing a non-fiction book in order to sell more copies. Upon asking students if they are goal setters, glazed looks overcame their faces.
I then spoke of “Mary” who was also an aspiring author but took ten years to write her book only to find much of the information out of date. One stutdent then claimed he, too, took ten years to complete his book and only sold a couple hundred copies.
The discussion signified the importance of setting goals of how many pages to write per day or hours to devote to writing and having a backup plan over the weekend to cover a decreased number of pages written or time devoted. Backup plans are equally important to the original to cover all bases and the possibility of “just in case”.
Whether you are hunting for you next job or seeking to build business, seriously consider your goals and the pieces required to help you achieve them. For those goals that are the most appealing such as higher earnings, what are the associated steps you might put into place to make your new place of employment or new clients a greater probability?
The more energy you devote to serious consideration of your end result and how you plan to get there, the greater the likelihood of future success. It will put you on to the wave of the Smooth Sale!
