Navigate Your Way To Success!

Where Do You Want to Go Today?

With all of the unplanned minutes you will likely have this year, have you told yourself that there are certain goals you want to reach or master before December 31, 2024? Have you chosen a destination and looked carefully at the map that will take you there?

A word of caution is in order. Be careful not to choose too many destinations, meaning don’t set too many goals for the year. Including more than a handful of worthy objectives can leave you with maps and navigational instruments strewn all over your desk–resulting in chaos, lack of focus, and questionable navigation.

Make a list of all of the places you want to go (things you’d like to accomplish), then whittle the list down to four most important goals. For each of the four, make a list of the benefits you will enjoy when you achieve them. Then list all the resources you currently possess which would be of benefit to achieving your major goals, i.e. experience, knowledge, skills, positive attitude, friendliness, perseverance, etc. Finally, ask yourself, “What prevents me from achieving this right now?” Write down your fears, your lack of action, etc. Make an effort to overcome what would sabotage your success.

Making a list and seeing it in writing keeps you from being overwhelmed. By breaking down the objective into individual steps, it becomes more manageable.

So where do you want to go today, or tomorrow? Set goals, make a plan and set those sails for parts unknown!
