With 2011 coming soon, I’ve been thinking about goals a lot lately. How about you?
I’ve been trying to decide what goals are both realistic and a stretch for me. There’s a fine line in there somewhere between setting a crazy impossible goal and setting a goal that will be challenging and exciting enough to pull me forward.
I found this quote that’s given me a lot to think about and might make you think, too:
An average person with average talent, ambition and education, can outstrip the most brilliant genius in our society, if that person has clear, focused goals. ~Brian Tracy
Here’s a great article on goal setting from Brian Tracy’s blog: http://www.briantracy.com/blog/general/planning-your-year/
P.S. If you could use a little help setting and reaching your goals, or if getting a system setup for social media is one of your goals, be sure to stop by and download your free gifts at http://smallbizchristmas.com/todays-holiday-gifts/
I am ready for big things. I am the first to admit sometimes my ambition far exceeds my talent at the moment. I don’t let that deter me. If you truly want something, and are willing to work for it, you can get it figured out.
Most success online in 2011, Michelle!
I love how you put that — “at the moment” — such a great way to word it. Skills can be learned, tasks can be outsourced, we can find a way to make things happen if we’ve got the ambition and put our hearts into it. :)
Lovely video.
I am stretching myself this year and i am prayerful about achieving my goals.I want to be conscious of every goal i set.
Success starts with the right attitude.
Excellent reminder that we need to approach things consciously. Set smart goals!
