It’s the last day of the month…and IF you were one those people that were so busy
still finishing up 2009 in January…
And IF you did not set any new year changes, goals, attitudes….
And IF you are saying to yourself I don’t know where to start….
NOW is the perfect time to start!
Anything in life is met by setting goals, and doing the steps necessary to
reach the goal. Sometimes, we set those goals in our minds without even
thinking about it…it comes natural.
Such as when you were a child and you wanted to talk, and walk.
But some goals you have to decide upon.
As a child, you wanted to learn to read, to write…
As a youth maybe you wanted to be chosen as cheerleader, or on the football team
(back when I was a kid, THOSE had to be tried out for and chosen..things may
have changed by now..)
And then, as a young adult you had goals and decisions to make..
Go to college? Go to work to make a living? You set your goal,
and did it….
And now you are an adult….and it seems as though the
somewhere in the fuzz of transitioning to adulthood, the skill of
making goals and reaching them becomes lost.
At our recent Regional Conference, Dare to Dream Big In Texas one of our
presentations was on “Make your Goals and Track Them.” (as taught by
Tim Sales). I had been exposed to this training because of doing
our team’s Foundation Training…… The trainer had 20 minutes, no sweat – right?
Well, it soon became very evident, that folks from other cross line teams
had never been exposed to any type of “Goal Tracking” training.
I know this because several of them came up to me and said so.
Now, perhaps they hadn’t listened to their upline and the training is there….
Or perhaps they learned about the thought but didn’t think it was important
at the time.
BUT, as we all know to get ANYWHERE, you have to know how you are going
to GET there.
And that is what setting goals and tracking is all about!
SO, if you started your year out, and haven’t really made any plans of where
you want to be on Dec 31, 2010…You have TIME.
Tomorrow starts a brand new month. Feb, March and April will give you
89 days to begin your journey!
I encourage you find a way to track your goals.
Micheal Clouse presented a wonderful goal tracking plan that you
can use for any type goals , not just business related. This is
the tracking design he shared with us on a whiteboard… Your
