It’s a New Year! It’s been almost a month since the Times Square ball dropped and most have named their New Year’s resolutions.
I’m not sure about you specifically, but it’s quite common for most busy Executives to find themselves running behind on such things. With that in mind I thought this a good time to write a bit on the subject of goal attainment.
GOAL: – noun– “the result or achievement toward which effort is directed.”
ATTAINMENT: – noun- “something attained; achievement.”
From this one could conclude this is simple…deciding what you want to do and then do it. Now…that sounds easy, so why does it end up getting so darn complicated?
One complication could be that of TIME. If I set a goal to become a doctor in 9 months, is that real? Definitely not as it generally takes 4+ years of medical school, residency, etc. The goal to become a doctor is not unreal, but my decision to do so with the above time factor is. TIME is an important item to consider; one must allow an appropriate amount to be successful in the achievement of named goals. Before accepting a loss on such, look back to ensure you’ve allowed ample time…
