THINGS YOU SEE WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR EYES OF THE GOAL
"Obstacles are the frightful things you see when you take your eyes of the goal." - Henry Ford
One of the biggest challenges to achieving any goal whether it be working out or a business goal, is finding the motivation to stick with the goal
If you stick with something long enough you will eventually achieve it.
What follows is a guide to creating momentum using what I have learned in a series of successful accomplishments, goals and habits both in my personal and business life.
2. Start where you are & appreciate what's working.
No matter how bad things are there is always something in your life or business that is working out.
Appreciate that. Give thanks to that! It starts you out with an attitude of gratitude. That's one of the most powerful attitudes you can have. it will lay the foundation for more good things to come into you life.
Given that all other things are constant what one thing if you achieved would make the biggest difference in the end result you want to achieve.
Make a decision and then cut yourself from any other outcome. Once you have made the decision then take ONE action because ACTION is what creates momentum.
It focuses you and your team on ONE thing. It puts into SHARP focus. It's easy to communicate, measure and track.
Let the goal stretch you.
What's important is who you become in the pursuit of the goal rather than just the achievement of the goal.
What gets measured gets managed and done. A few small actions daily will begin to add up in the results that follow in the weeks and months ahead.
Having a FUN, SIMPLE & COMPELLING Scoreboard will get you and everyone else excited.
If you don't follow through one day - don't beat yourself up. Restart the next day with fresh enthusiasm. Visualise again, re-read your benefits and connect with your WHY.
As you overcome inertia, you will begin to gain momentum. Amp up the momentum by increasing the frequency of communication (Ok maybe hourly is a little too much! - Well it depends on the goal and timeline)!
15. Set the next goal as you near completion of the current one.
This is one of the most important ways in which you can keep momentum going in your life and business. You can pick another part of your life and business to focus on so that there is variety and you develop in a more balanced manner!
Enjoy the journey and the destination too! Relish who you become as a result of achieving your goals!
