Goals or Wishes........

Adam Fox • 4 August 2021

A goal without a plan on how to achieve it, is just a wish. 🌟

And, unless you have a magic lamp, it's unlikely your wishes will come true….. 🧞‍♀️ 🧞

If you don’t set goals, you will become stuck in the weeds , busy doing the day to day 🀯 and not working on the things that will move your business forwards. πŸ“‰


If you want to progress, you need to set goals and you need a written plan on how you will achieve them. πŸ“


There isn’t a single athlete in Tokyo right now, who got there without the goal of making it to the Olympics and a training plan to help them get there. 🚡‍♂️ 🚴‍♀️ 🏊‍♂️ 🀽‍♀️ πŸ₯… ⛳️ 🀸‍♀️


Furthermore, they had a coach, who held them to account and ensured that they executed their plan in order to fulfil their goals. πŸ—£


Now every athlete will be aiming for Gold, πŸ₯‡It’s what sets them apart from the rest of us. 


But not all will achieve Gold. It’s impossible and things can go wrong along the way. πŸ₯ˆπŸ₯‰


But to be in the game, they accepted this possibility, and will give it their all regardless. 

It’s the same in business. πŸ‘¨πŸΌ‍πŸ’Ό


With a goal, a plan and a coach, you will at least put yourself in the competition and be among the champions of the business world. πŸ†


Sure you might not win, but you’ll still be a success in every sense of the word. πŸŽ‰


There’s a quote by Norman Vincent Peale:

‘Shoot for the moon 🌜, and even if you miss, you’ll land amongst the stars ⭐️’


It’s a quote that reminds me that life is not about perfection. 


But it is about:

Trying, 

Growing,

and persevering with the things that matter. πŸ‘¨‍πŸ‘©‍πŸ‘§‍πŸ‘§


That’s it for today’s business bite.


If you’d like some help in setting, planning, or executing your goals. πŸ₯…


Give me a shout.


Bye for now πŸ‘‹ πŸ‘‹ πŸ‘‹
