It had long since come to
my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things
happen to them. They went out and
happened to things. – Leonardo da Vinci
Desire is the key to
motivation, but it’s determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of
your goal – a commitment to excellence – that will enable you to attain the
success you seek. – Mario Andretti
As summer has
arrived and we are 161 days into the year (182 is halfway), it is a great time
to start a mid-year goal review. Research
conducted by the University of Scranton showed that 92% of people do not
accomplish their New Year’s goals. To be
part of the 8% that accomplishes their goals, it is important to conduct regular
check-ups and create a plan to finish the year strong.
This week, let’s
focus on determining the progress of accomplishing each goal.
- Prepare to review goals. Schedule an appointment on the calendar estimating 15 minutes per goal. Next, select a quiet location to review the goals. Gather and organize all relevant benchmarking data to review 2019 goals.
- For tracking purposes, write down or type the progress of each goal. It can be something as simple as:
a.
Goal #1
b.
Progress of Goal #1
c.
Questions about Goal #1:
1.
Is this goal still relevant for me in 2019?
2.
Is this goal specific and challenging, but not too hard for me to still accomplish?
3.
Am I still passionate, committed and have a good attitude about this
goal?
Ability
is what you’re capable of doing.
Motivation determines what you do.
Attitude determines how well you do it. – Lou Holtz
Taking time to
conduct a mid-year goal review will help refocus on goals, provide motivation
and prepare to have a strong second half of the year.
CHALLENGE: Conduct your 2019 mid-year goal review.
