Goal Setting for Dummies – Part Two



Goal Setting for Dummies – Part II

Review your values and goals and answer one simple question.
“Are you willing to do whatever it takes to succeed?”
If you answer “Yes I am”, then you are ready to take the next steps.

Look at each of your goals and one by one (take your time) write down what steps you can take to begin to move towards these goals.  They don’t have to be big things – any step in the right direction is a positive move. 

If you like take one goal at a time, it may well be that you have priorities. Please don’t think you will get there overnight, it is important you don’t become dispirited, if you take small steps you have to succeed, its impossible that you won’t.

(Jack Canfield (if you don’t know who he is, look him up!) says that if you do just 5 things every single day that take you closer to your goals you cannot help but hit them!)
Each day again write down what you have achieved on your pathway to success.
At the end of a week review your progress and celebrate, in whatever way you like with how you have succeeded during that week. NEVER, NEVER QUIT.

Always bear in mind that winners never quit and quitters never win. Remember Thomas Edison who failed 1000 times before he achieved his successful light bulb.

Change of Career


Change of Career and a Successful Recareering Example
Change of Career
I was at a business networking event, and doing the normal round of chatting, when I met a new face. I asked what he did and he told me that he had just set up a new company for walking holidays in the scenic parts of Cyprus.
We chatted further and I discovered that he was previously a senior manager in the construction industry for many years. Then he was hit with a redundancy, and “decided to follow his passion” – as you can see they were his words and not mine.

Using his training in team building and his personal pastime of hiking and walking, he decided that rather than get another JOB he would follow his heart and do what he loved, as a business.
I was so delighted to meet with someone who had the courage to follow his passion….
Recareering is not just a job change, but a move to a completely different career path. Money, power and prestige are prime motivators for many people switching careers, but others do it to pursue a passion or make a lifestyle change.

The question is NOT what do you want to be (which most career coaches ask)– but WHO do you want to be!
What is your purpose in life and what is the purpose of your life – two of the most evocative timeless questions! Can you answer them?
