All leaders take great responsibility for the organization’s success. They have a mission: To set and meet goals.

Your greatest kindness may be developing and tapping into your team’s potential to achieve the organization’s goals to ensure people have employment and stability in their lives at work and, most importantly, at home.
________________
Here’s a statistic:
95% of the population fails to set goals. And the other 5% don’t know how.

Why? People fear setting goals because they don’t want to fail, so they don’t even try.

HERE ARE 5 FACTS:
Leaders don’t set out to become leaders. They set out to accomplish great things, and in the process, they sometimes become leaders.

If you want to change your life or your organization, you must have a vision. This is a goal.

When you set a big goal, you are on one edge of the Grand Canyon, looking over to the other edge, staring down into the abyss, wondering how you are going to get to the other side.

If you want to be excellent at what you do, you have to learn how to set and achieve goals. Goals are the furnace of desire.

When you set a goal you desire, you turn on the goal-seeking mechanism in the brain. This overrides the failure mechanism, which is staying in the comfort zone.

GOALS ARE BOTH PERSONAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL.
Let’s start with how personal goals since it’s a NEW YEAR.

1. What do you want? What do you desire? Know why this is important to you.

2. Write it down. YOU MUST WRITE IT DOWN. Is it measurable? How will you know you have achieved it?

3. Set a deadline. When do you want to achieve it?

4. Write out what you must do to achieve it. Organize the actions. Which is first? Second? Set deadlines on the steps. Block out time on your calendar to take the steps.

5. You identify the obstacles and build plans to overcome them. You also identify the support you need to achieve each step (people, knowledge, skills) and build mini steps to reach these.

6. You launch. You commit. You take action every day—bit by bit to get there.

Create a structure to achieve it. If your goal is to lose weight, for example, You throw out the ice cream, eat from small plates, and no longer eat out. You join a group that works out.

Visualize your goal as achieved and visualize taking the steps when you don’t feel like taking the step.

Dream big and take action. No one can stop you, except you.

Your partner in success, Joe Murphy
