Part-Time Versus Full-Time Entrepreneur Part 10

Goal Setting and THE Strategy To Succeed

Some days you have it and some days you simply struggle.  I have found it a real grind as of late with the seasons changing, it getting darker earlier in the evening and the temperature dropping.  I have found it challenging to say the least to stay the course.

With that being said, I knew it was time to add some fresh content to my blog and other article directories.  So, I looked at the close to 40 articles that I have published to determine which was the most popular.

I am sure you know where this is going……smile.   Yes, you are correct….it was centered around “Goal Setting” and has over 400 views, 100% free marketing!

Here is my Question: Why is this one so popular?  Were all of my other articles poorly written and this one flawless?  I certainly don`t think so.  I am a Part-Time Educator but my area of expertise is Health, Physical Education and Nutrition.  With that being said, I can write but not as fluent as an English Major!

I guess I have to sit back and reflect on the idea that we set goals all the time, no matter what the industry or chosen field of work.  A deadline for some IS the goal.  If we know when something has to be complete, what do we do?  We set small goals that help us achieve the end result.   You need to know what your end result should look like and focus on the process that will get you there.

I coached Volleyball at a competitive level for a number of years and I had my players so focused on the process rather than the importance of the championship that when we would arrive at the final game they would ask, okay Mr Hachey, if we win here who do we play next?

There were many times when I would have to say…..this is the final ladies.  Win you go home and lose you go home.  Just decide to leave everything on the court and you will go home happy regardless knowing that you did your best.

So, when you sit down to determine your goals for the day, week, month, quarter …..  You need to determine what do I want the end result to look like and what is the process that will get me there.

Is it small goals, does it require education, does it mean I need to look for help from others, what time frame to I have, etc ?

If you want to succeed in life, be aware of the end result but FOCUS more on the process that will help you arrive at the end result.  Before you know it, you will need to re-establish another goal.
