Happy Monday...
This is going to potentially be cheesy as hell to some of you, but I don't care. I learned something important that I want to share.
For 2018 my written goal was to FINISH 52 books... It was a written goal. I ended 2018 having read (or listened to) 48... I blame Titan, the biography of John D Rockefeller which is the length of 4 books. I was pretty happy with that finish.
2019 rolls around... "I will read a lot of books again this year too!" That was my goal.... "a lot of books." Guess how many books I have finished 6 months into 2019?
Three and a half.
So I am resetting again... A book a week for the rest of the year... Among other thing's I was too lazy to take 10 minutes and write.
Bottom line, write your goals... Make them specific, step one processes. Your goal shouldn't be to "increase sales" it should be to "contact 2 potential customers per day." One is something that has action written all over it and the other is just arbitrary.
It is ridiculously easy with a huge potential ripple effect. There are a lot of studies that show goal setting is incredibly effective. The risk VS reward is off the charts. Go ahead, "waste" 10 minutes this Monday writing your goals for the rest of the year and compare to the first half.
