Explanation:
Don't Let Others Set The Goals For You
When you let others set your goals or modify them for you, this can have several damaging effects on your ability to achieve them.
First, it's now no longer your goal, and you have no sense of ownership or commitment to this new goal, as its now someone else's goal.
Second, people can look to make you more aggressive and look to set the goal to be bigger than you believe possible, and when you lack belief, this can cause you to quit at the first sign of difficulty.
If people want to be involved, then let them help you define how you will achieve the your goal, but don't let them set a new goal for you.
Be Clear What Success Looks Look
If you don't know what success looks like, how will you know when you have achieved it. If you don't have a clear goal, then you cannot put a clear plan in place to achieve it.
One of my clients was looking to increase their revenue by 50-100 percent in the upcoming year. They were very happy that they were setting a big bold goal, but the challenge is the plan to increase by 50 percent is not the same as the plan to increase by 100 percent.
So which plan are you going to going to implement?
Or are you going to implement any old plan and just hope?
Hope is not a strategy!
Clear goals allow you to create clear plans, which increase your probability of success.
Understand Why This Goal Is Important
If you don't know why the goal is important to you, then it's just random. Understanding the why will give you a stronger sense of purpose, and this sense of purpose will keep you motivated during the difficult times. When you lack a sense of purpose if things do start to go awry, there is nothing stopping you from downgrading your goal and lowering the bar.
To achieve big bold goals, you need to be firm on the goal, but flexible on the approach, and having a strong why will help you keep your eyes on the prize and keep going in the tough times.
Track Your Performance
I'm a big believer in the adage what gets measured gets done, but I am an even bigger believer in the power of motivation.
When we slice the elephant and know what the small interim goals are, as we start to achieve them, this will increase both belief in the approach and also confidence that success is achievable.
If you're leading a team, then make sure that not only do you track performance, but that you also share the progress with your teams.
When the going gets tough, it's great to hear that progress is being made. Sometimes when you have your head down and are charging towards the finishing line, it can be difficult to know just how close you are and hearing the progress can encourage you to make that final push to get over the line.
If you want to set your self a big bold goal, then to increase your chance of success, be clear about what success looks like, make sure it's your goal and understand why it's important to you, break it down to small goals, track your performance and celebrate each small success. If you can do tht then you will signficantly increase your chance of being in that small group of 8 percent who achieve their goals.
