I am a VERY cerebral person. Meaning, I need things spelled out very succinctly and in a very obvious way. I’m also an enneagram 9, which means I love to stay in my comfort zone. So goal achievement has ALWAYS been hard for me in my business.
Now in things like sports, I’m good to go. I'm pretty atheltic, so I've been relatively good at most sports I've tried. Again because I'm a very cereberal person, it's very obvious with a sport if you've accomplished your goal. You etiher win or lose. There's no gray area, only black or white.
With business, because I’m in charge, there’s no one really holding me accountable. Goal achievement isn't so obvious, and unlike with sports, running a business is not something that comes naturally to me.
So, I created a visual reminder of my sales this year so I can clearly see if I am actively reaching my goals. My intention in sharing this with you is to help you establish some sort of visual reminder to help you very clearly see if and how close you are to your goal.
TAKEAWAYS:
- Find a system that keeps you accountable to yourself. I don’t care what your goal is, but have something that visually reminds you how close you are to reaching your goal. And it’s fun when you start to hit it and can visually see the results too!
- Creating something visible forces you to slow down. When you can see where you have been and where you are going, it’s easier to know what you need to do next without overthinking or thinking about the big things too quickly.
- Make it easy and make it obvious. In this episode I share with you the goal wall I created that has a clear system that helps me track how close I am to my goals. It’s very clear to me when I am near or not near my goal. You could do something similar or find something else that works for you but don’t over complicate it.
