Stolen from Stephen Covey: Alternative to goal setting in the new year.
Normally when talking about goal setting on this site the focus is on $2per day, $1000 per month, $20000 per week etc. Sometimes someone will come up with an alternative such as pay your rent for this month, pay all your billls, gain financial freedom, etc.
I can see the benefits of goal setting this way, but it has one or two drawbacks. Firstly it describes the end result and not the process and secondly it describes a result which is not directly under your control.
Instead of goal setting this way how about setting goals that describe procedure rather than end result and are in your control. For example after spending significant time on he warrior forum I have decided to make a niche site business in 2012. So my goal is:
In January I will set up 20 niche sites...
The beauty of this goal is it is under my control completely, there is no pressure for the sites to perform, I just need to get them built. It is a 'lead' indicator that will lead to my (everyones?!) 'lag' goal of financial freedom.
All I have to do is focus on what I can do rather than have the worry of weather this will work.
Thoughts?
