In the world of business, we are often told to set goals. Corporate goals are established to unite the company to achieve higher levels of accomplishments. Companies who have aligned goals tend to fare better than those that don't. That leads to the company being more successful and often drives the stock price higher. All this leads to success.
These then trickle down the food chain. Corporate turn into divisional goals. Divisional break down into department goals. Department will become individual goals. This is how individuals understand how they can successful. This helps them target their energy and shows them what skills that they need to enhance. Through this individuals and corporations succeed.
All of this takes place in corporate America. But why as individuals do we not establish goals for ourselves? How many people have established personal ones? Very few!
So why is this? Why don't more people set goals for themselves?
While I do people do set some goals, they are often just thoughts and not well established goals. Goals in the workplace are "SMART". Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Reasonable and Timebound. But this doesn't work for individuals. Or at least not completely. The problem with SMART goals is that these often will limit a person from accomplishing a lot more than they could.
Many people will dream of owning a house. But why settle on that as a goal. Think bigger! Instead of a 3 bedroom house, why not target a 6 bedroom home? Why settle on a Ford or a Chevy. How about going for a Mercedes? What about even bigger dreams? What about a boat, a plane or financial independence?
The point is that you need to set your goals as dreams. As Donald Trump says "if you going to dream, dream big!"
So establish those dreams as goals. Find a way to reach those dreams. Then come up with even bigger dreams.
Dream big!
