Over-the-Top
Attention goal freaks: this should blow your mind!
But first, I mentioned last time how powerful it is when we connect positive emotions to goal setting and then find a way for someone else to benefit after we achieve them. To read that article, click here.
If you’re not into drilling deep down into the details of goal setting, close this post – it may make you nauseous.
Now for the rest of us goal geeks ……
Mind maps are a phenomenal way to crush goals. Studies have reported that this type of approach to collecting and organizing information significantly improves your ability to plan, organize and execute.
I’ve laid out a comprehensive approach (image below) to help our fictitious 55-year-old man run his first 10k race in under the national average for time. Not only does he need to be successful, but he needs to be ahead of the average athlete.
This map has all the steps in my process for goal achievement. Imagine for a moment overcoming a real challenge in your life that has DOGGED you. Well, this approach solves it.
Honestly, if you have connected the dots from the 1st email about goal setting and achievement to now, and will take the time to follow these steps, you will be successful – without question. It would unusual for you NOT TO BE SUCCESSFUL.
Punch line? For goal geeks, this type of mapping is the Mt. Everest of goal setting. It’s the bee’s knees for anyone who needs a guaranteed goal, and awesome sauce for everyone who wants to celebrate instead of blamestorming the reasons they failed. Not believing it? Well, bye Felicia.
