"Dedicated people have employment security."
Zig Ziglar
[NB re-read that one - not job security but you can bet they are highly employable in another company!]
“Life pushes all of us around. Some give up. Others fight. A few learn the lesson and move on. They welcome life pushing them around. To these few people, it means they need and want to learn something. They learn and move on. Most quit, a few like you fight…. If you learn this lesson, you will grow into a wise, wealthy and happy young man. If you don’t, you will spend your life blaming a job, low pay or your boss for your problems. You’ll live life hoping for that big break that will solve all your money problems.”
Rich Dad’s advice in Rich Dad, Poor Dad
Wisdom from Robert Kiyosaki
We all intellectually understand that to achieve success in any area we need to focus on a goal and have a plan to get there from the real starting point.
Is it possible to have a number of goals at the same time?
Many peak performers and motivational speakers such as Anthony Robbins believe that to have one goal to focus on at a time is optimal and preferable.
In our complicated lives especially for those of us with more ‘loose’ employment or contract work where we are unsure even in which continent we will be working in, how can we also achieve our goals?
I honestly believe that just as the overall employment market has changed drastically over the last fifteen years, with current trends including outsourcing and even direct employees are on short term contracts, that our goal setting must also become more flexible.
However some things do not change – there are still only 24 hours in a day.
If you do not have a goals program. I strongly suggest you research the one that suits you and then work on your own. I highly recommend the one outlined in Zig Ziglar’s book, ‘Over the Top’. Alternatively most business mentors and coaches have their own. If you would like to create one but don’t know where to start or you would prefer to have someone do it with you, contact us. This is definitely one of our own services.
In this new year and new decade, I have a checklist however my next step is to really make my goals program more detailed. I do like whiteboards!!! In this way the goals and measuring progress toward those goals is visible and indirectly helps us to be more accountable. Just as we may have multiple projects on at work, we can monitor various goals in different aspects of our lives.
