Your Biggest Obstacle: You

"Regardless of your role within your business, you have goals.

You may own the place and set them yourself or you may have a boss that walked in and laid them out for you. Either way, there are things that need to be accomplished before year’s end or within a few years.

Reaching some goals is pretty easy so I’m not going to talk about low hanging fruit here. I’m going to talk about a goal that either scares you to death or exhilarates you.

Take a moment to think about that big goal and answer these questions:

  1. What would it mean to you if you actually achieved it?
  2. How would you act differently after achieving it?
  3. What would you take on that you’re not currently?
  4. What would you leave behind?
  5. Why is the goal truly important to you?
  6. What’s standing in your way of achieving it?
  7. Why haven’t you achieved it yet?

I know those questions aren’t always easy to answer. But think about how empowering it is to know the answers to those questions.

Think about how good it would feel to be on the other side of achieving your goals and being the answers to those questions.

good luck!!!
