Performance Strategies: Beyond Goalsetting

Know what you want, write it down, look at it every day, affirm to yourself you can achieve it, and voila! ...you fall flat on your face.

Goalsetting is no different than any other success-driven activity. It requires a clear roadmap and the diligent effort to make things happen.

Consider this roadmapping strategy from my forthcoming book The Drive To Achieve the next time your setting yourself up for failure (oh, I meant success):

Decide WHAT you want!
- Oddly enough many people just say "I want a better life".
- Be specific
- Ensure you can measure it so you know when you've got it

Determine or Develop your WHY! (excerpt from the forthcoming book: The WHY Factor: Living Life On Purpose)
- You need a reason to success, something that will drive you when faced with obstacles
- Make sure your desire is unshakable
- If it doesn't excite you, drop it

Determine the WHEN of everything!
- Establish the date the main goal is to be achieved
- Create a timeline of sub-goals, related actions and people responsible

Figure out WHO will help you and WHO will hurt you!
- you will need people to teach and train you (mentors, coaches, trainers...)
- You will need people to support you throughout your journey
- You will also have people who will knock you. Identify them in advance and be aware.
- You will need people to help you achieve your success

WHICH resources will you need
- training programs (books, CDs, DVDs, seminars, workshops, teleseminars, webinars...)
- tools for the trade
- what else will you need?

Performance Strategies: From eZine to Blog

Many of you have come to this Blog as a previous eZine subscriber to “The Drive to Achieve (DTA)” from my website at www.stephenlibman.com. If so, let me extend a special welcome.

For those who did not know, “The Drive to Achieve” was an eZine based on the thoughts and ideas stemming from my forthcoming book of the same name.

While I tried in earnest to deliver DTA to all subscribers, I was getting more and more “bounced” e-mails. I quickly discovered (as are many other e-mail newsletter writers) that spam filters have become quite unforgiving lately (in spite of running spam-check first). Then I discovered Blogs and realized I could still write my eZine (just in another format) and people could simply subscribe to the feed.

We all benefit. You, my valued readers, have more control and I know those who want The Drive to Achieve eZine are still getting it.

In addition to the new material, over time, I will post all the previous issues’ content here.

Thanks for staying connected. Please forward the link at right to your friends, family, colleagues, associates or anyone else you fell may benefit from some practical performance advice.
