They can be very positive and at the same time can be unrealistic and set us up for a sense of failure if we don\u2019t fulfil them.<\/p>\n<p>So what\u2019s the answer?<\/p>\n<p>Personally, I like to take an objective \u2018helicopter view\u2019 of my life, my business, my strategy.<\/p>\n<p>I then look at how that dovetails with what\u2019s happening in the World and how effective I am in helping people to get results right now &#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What am I doing that\u2019s really working and should leave as it is?<\/li>\n<li>What do I need to tweak or change and why?<\/li>\n<li>What smaller and realistic steps can I take to make changes?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Then I tap into my creativity to think outside the box and come up with fresh ideas around <em>how<\/em> I move forward.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to setting goals, we are all familiar with \u201cSMART Goals\u201d (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timely).<\/p>\n<p>Well I introduce my clients to another very simple model that also includes 2 very important elements that are not included in SMART. These are around our goals also being \u201cChallenging\u201d and \u201cExciting\u201d!<\/p>\n<p>If we don\u2019t have these in the mix, we often don\u2019t feel anchored to a goal and motivated enough to make it happen.<\/p>\n<p>And when it comes to making changes, I have found that, rather than setting a \u201cNew Year\u2019s Resolution\u201d, making small and realistic changes and committing to these really does work.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d love to know what you think?
