Starting over (part 1).

Here goes. First question I aks myself: Where do I want to go? If you don’t know where you want to go, you end up getting nowhere. I forgot who said that, but it’s true. I know because that’s where I am in my business, nowhere.

So, to restart my business I figured I revisit my goals. What are my goals for this year? For the next 3 months? For next week? How do I set effective goals? The mere thought of all this made me want to dive for the remote and forget about goal setting.

Get motivated, I thought, and googled “setting goals.” I was after a few soundbites to get me in the mood. Best thing I could have done.

Google took me to Youtube and Zig Ziglar’s short and snappy 7 Steps To Achieving Your Goals. Here he is:

If you don’t feel like watching the video and taking notes, I’ve done the work for you. Here is the formula:

1. Write down your goals.
2. Put a date on them.
3. Identify the obstacles
4. Identify the people / groups you need to work with.
5. Find out what it is you need to know.
6. Develop a plan of action.
7. Write it down and write down WIIFM – What’s In It For Me.

Then get started and get focused.

That’s it. Simple. Ha!
