Small Steps Can Put Goals Within Reach
Setting work goals is really the easy part. The hard bit is ticking them off! If you want to hit your goals, try these easy steps:
- Commit publicly: Write down your goals. Share them with your manager, peers, direct reports, friends, and family.
- Create a plan of action: Think step-by-step actions. How do you eat the elephant? Chunk by chunk!
- Recruit support: Colleagues, mentors, your significant other, or a professional coach can be both your cheering squad and sounding board. We all need support networks.
- Set milestones: As time goes by, it becomes more difficult to stay motivated. You need regular signals that reinforce what you’re working toward.
