Big, Hairy and Scary!

I have recently learnt that your goals need to be big, hairy and scary enough to make you look at fear…Straight in the eyeballs! Fear that makes you want to run away…fast! But your burning desire to succeed keeps you standing strong, your will is tested and your persistence is sweating. But you stay there looking for all the ways to succeed, to laugh at the nay-sayers to create an epic life.

Beautiful Blue Ocean WavePut 3-5  major goals you would like to achieve this year on your calendar. They could be around holidays, fitness but most importantly a growth area in your career.

Why? Because if you don’t then how else can you set out to achieve what you have intended…All the craziness of your job, your everyday life will overflow and before you know it. Its christmas again!

Plus (less dramatically and on a left brained level)  it shows you how to put in milestones, goals, holidays, birthday.. you can see the year ahead of you. Then you can step back and look at your calendar that now include your years missions and goals.  What does it look like is it too busy, balance , boring or freaking awesome? Is it leading you to your next mission?

I have found that it is sometimes best to also plan the year in quarters. This bite-sized approach is a lot less intimidating especially if you are not use to planning.

 

For me my 5 major goals for the year are:

February: Launch and teach my Career Bootcamp

April: Create & Launch Catapult Your Career Flagship programme

May: Become a accredited Soul Intentions coach

September: Family holiday away to the Gold Coast for 10 days

December: Business Retreat with Catherine Newton in Waiheke

To do any of this I need to have a main focus: My business is viable and inspiring and generates an income to keep me from having to get a job. This is my desire…here helping you lot!

So there, I showed you mine… now you gotta show me yours.
