Stop Setting Goals

If you have been in business for very long, then you most certainly have experienced the typical “next year, our goal is to do more!” Or, “this year, our goal will be $X million dollars in sales!” [A number seemingly pulled out of thin air, or worse...a number simply a percentage greater than last year's total.]  This is precisely the reason you should never set goals.  Let me explain.

“More” is not a strategy!

There is no creativity in goal setting today.  Too often, what often gets construed as strategic planning, is not much more than wishful thinking.  In short, people are lazy.

Activity Alleviates Anxiety

Filled with desire to achieve a new result, do you ever feel paralyzed & uncertain what to do?  Research indicates that learning occurs in four stages (Read:  Unconscious Competence- A Lesson From Sesame Street). To first learn a new skill, or achieve a new result, one must first take a new action to discover that you likely don’t know what you don’t know- and you need awareness to turn that newly discovered knowledge into action from which you can learn.  Once you took that first step, did the outcome bring you closer to or farther from your desired result?  Adjust. Try again.  It certainly beats the analysis paralysis which prevents so many people from experiencing a change in the outcome of their efforts.  Do something, even if it is wrong!

Where SHOULD You Focus?

To achieve big results, you must have a vision.  What would be different if you achieved success? How would it look? Feel? Smell?  What would people notice most about you?

 

Recent, widely-quoted research seems to suggest that mastery of a skill occurs once you have exercised that skill for 10,000 hours.  Becoming an “expert” is a  lofty goal. [For those counting at home that is spending 12 hours a day, every day, for 27 months; or by spending 30 minutes a day for nearly 55 years-if you have that kind of time.]  No matter your level of commitment each day, proficiency in any skill only comes from experience.  There are no shortcuts!

Focus on building new behaviors...

ACTION:  Share a big goal publicly with others as a motivator to keep yourself accountable.  Take a minute and describe your big vision below.  Even if nobody reaches out to you to check your progress, YOU will remember it was posted here and the discomfort of complacency will encourage you to take action each day.

"Setting goals doesn't change results.  Establishing healthy behaviors changes everything!" - Scott Cooksey

When inspiration (or often the promise of a new year) hits us, it is common to set new goals. Make resolutions. Vow to change or simply do something different.  On the surface, it suggests what we want is something better than what we already have (read: more desirable results), what we are REALLY asking for, though, is behavioral change and a re-set of expectations.  

Inspired by my own difference of interpretation of an innocuous social media post, I started thinking.  So often, companies, teams, and organizations are misguided by the notion of goal setting.  

In this episode, Cooksey sets it all straight with a better way to look at goals, and why setting them isn't exactly the best idea....sort of. 

[This idea continues in Episode 20. Available on 12/22/2015]

What one, signficant behavioral change do you pledge to make in the coming year?  Post it up below and make it real!

Cooksey shares what happened when he drove 40 miles to a lunch meeting, only to find out the scheduled speaker ...well, you'd better just listen to what happened so it won't happen to you. 

This episode shares 5 filters you should apply before attending your next meeting:

  1. Is it a required meeting? Depending on the context, why it might be fruitful to simply skip it.
  2. Did you call the meeting? Find the balance between "advance notice" and "last minute cancellation" and when either might be more appropriate.
  3. Is the topic relevant to you? How to avoid being in attendance for a meeting that really does not demand your participation or have any relevance for you.
  4. Who else to expect to attend the meeting?  Sometimes it is less about the meeting and more about your fellow attendees.
  5. Geography - My "two meetings or I'll pass" rule and when you should use it.

Based on a article previously published by Scott Cooksey now available in it's entirety at  www.IdeaCharger.com/episode18

Like these rules?  Hate them?  Want to add to the list?  Email Scott at Podcast@IdeaCharger.com and we'll get your comments mentioned!

Timeless advice is...well...good forever.  No matter how this year is shaping up (there's only a few weeks left), or what you have in store for next year (you have one month to get ready), there are only three simple steps you need to know to set the course for what happens next for your life and your business. 

  1. RESET - Learn the lessons from the past, identify what you could have done differently and how you can build the road ahead with the benefit of honest hindsight.
  2. RELOAD - Turn the lessons from the past into deliberate, intentional actions in your immediate future.  By moving TOWARD your goals, you are redefining where you are headed. 
  3. ROCK OUT! - Once the plan is in place, it is up to you to execute on that plan...and it all starts with the first step (and some rockin' celebrations along the way)!

Let us know what YOUR plans are for the next 12 months (at least how they look today, after you listen to this episode) by emailing Scott at podcast@ideacharger.com 

Share this episode with someone who wants a better tomorrow and just might be willing to take that first step today, by listening.

In 2001, Darren LaCroix outlasted over 20,000 competitors from around the globe to become the World Champion of Public Speaking. In Toastmasters circles, Darren's story is quite well known.  In this interview, however, Scott Cooksey asks Darren, one of his earliest mentors in the business of speaking to pull back the curtains not on how he achieved his climb to the top, but the grit it takes to stay there.  Add in just a dash of what YOU can do to become your own champion of fulfilling success on your terms (Hint: It involves finding a mentor)..because the road to authenticity is not an easy one to navigate alone.

 

QUOTE:  "A little bit of effort in the right direction will outperform a lot of effort in the wrong direction." - Darren LaCroix

TAKE AWAYS:

  • Darren's Math to Mastery Equation states "Effort X Direction = Mastery"
  • There are two kinds of feedback,
    • Anyone can share how a story or action made them think or feel,but
    • Not everyone is qualified to provide coaching to improve.
  • Why there is no substitute for "stage time" in your chosen pursuit
  • Worse than taking no advice, is taking advice from people who are only 1/2 step ahead of you.

CHALLENGE:  Embrace negativity by separating it from the oft-confused concept of fatalistic thinking.

About 10 years ago, Jason Jump had stepped out of a coaching career, and was looking for his next challenge.  In a time before smart phones, he spotted a void in the sports media world that was overlooked and launched a website built to serve the athletes, families, and fans of private & Christian schools in the state of Texas.

A few short years ago, Jason traded his successful digital livelihood based in Houston, Texas, for something unexpected…a community print newspaper in rural Kansas.

Listen in to this incredible interview with a man who loves his family, his community, his life…and his newspaper!  We explore how print news plays such a critical role in sustaining rural communities in the midwestern United States.

Success Chargers like you define success and happiness your OWN way…and Jason shares his story of the satisfaction of making old things new again.
