Life Pie Chart:
Consider in the areas of your life:
- body
- mind
- spirit,
- career/profession
- finances
- relationship/your family
- global/community oriented areas.
Where would you put your emphasis on?
- Of the things you want to achieve.
- For this coming year?
- Therefore, you should think, “What can I achieve in 30 days?”
- Or 60 days.
- Or 90 days.
Using the Pie Chart:
Pick something that is really important for you. You can pick a few. Then you know you are on target and can begin to do the right things for these targets you are picking.
Instead of meandering every place.
Exercise:
- Write down 3 things that are important and you’d like to get results in 30 days.
- If you feel you can pick in all of the areas, and confident you can follow through… then that’s great. You are very ambitious!
- Break down into small bits.
- Must be measurable goals with numbers. (Such as how many prospects, how many leads, sales, how much in terms of $$$)
- Alignment: You must align your goal to a a larger purpose of a vision.
- If you don’t have or are not clear of your ultimate purpose or a big why or a big vision, it is fine to continue to work setting your short term goal.
- You can start small.
