The Process Day 2 of 7 Goals/Objectives and SMART ~ Smiles and Inspiration 2012 ~ Day 86 of 366 ~ 3/26/12

The Process Day 2 of 7

Goals / Objectives

and SMART

Yesterday we had you take your top 10 goals and align them for time bound deadlines, make them real, make them attainable and make them specific. Today we take it further.  : )

So you got your top 10 now what.  Attempt to do all of these all at once.  No but you have them so now lets take them to where you are now.  Are any of these goals intertwined.  Would it be wise to work on the objectives of 1 or 2 which would help you get to 3 and 4 and so forth.  

Try to look at them from outside of yourself.  Look at them and understand which would truly be game changers if you connected the dots.

Which require more effort?

Which require more time?

Take charge here and make time to reflect and project your success before you even begin.

Take charge of your list and break them out into smaller objectives.

Which would be best to attain first and would help you attain the next. In life much of what we do leaves a pattern and show should our goals we just need to look closer for the patterns.

Goals are like broad brushes waiting to be painted.

Objectives go after a more defined look and start to plan out in more detail the goals.

Individual tasks go into a more step by step actions that help get us even closer.

Take these steps with your top two goals that will help you go to the next goals and define your objectives and spell out your tasks.

We will go on more with this process and may your week be blessed. : )

Just some thoughts and as always smiles sent to you this day and everyday.

New Affirmation for the Month of March ..... Use it daily and feel the change in you.

I walk with confidence and understanding towards success.  Born into a perfected state I strive to achieve my intended purpose, to love, to share and care for self and for others that come in contact with me.  I choose to be happy and share laughter.  Making a difference in another persons life for the better gives positive and ever flowing energy into my world.  I am focusing on my goals, the this moment goal, this day, my weekly goals and monthly goals I achieve because of my spirit and focus.

The Process Day 1 of 7 Goals/Objectives and SMART ~ Smiles and Inspiration 2012 ~ Day 85 of 366 ~ 3/25/12

The Process Day 1 of 7

Goals / Objectives

and SMART

The last seven days of the month we gather all the strings, tips, ideas and put it all together.  It is time to start the process.  Today is day 85 of 366 days this year.  We have 281 days left to make a true difference.

So almost 3 months gone by how are you doing.  What new years resolutions have you kept?  How many have you abandoned?  Whats left in its place.

You are the captain of your ship.

You are the leader of your company, your the CEO of your destiny.

So step one understand self and your values and after you have that start with a brain storm session of not less than 5 minutes.  Write down all your goals and that which you want.  No rules, nothing is to obscure, just write.

Step two take this list and pick your top 10 things that you can achieve and be very specific in these goals that you labeled your top 10.

Next step three, when you have accomplished this objective define how you would be able to measure that you have arrived.

Step four, make these 10 goals attainable and define the realism of each of them.  What would you have to do and what would you have to give up to obtain these top 10.

Step five, make these top 10 goals a time bound goal.  When would you like to accomplish them.

Do you know what the next step is ..... You stop reading and you take the 5 minutes and just write or type them out.  Ready ~ Set ~ Go your about to Aim, Fire and get ready to do it again.

We will go on more with this process and may your week be blessed. : )

Just some thoughts and as always smiles sent to you this day and everyday.

Reflective Objectives ~ Smiles and Inspiration 2012 ~ Day 84 of 366 ~ 3/24/12

Reflective Objectives

When in the goal process it does always help to maintain a reflective attitude even when we are just looking back at our setbacks.  We will always be ready for the step forward in the next part of our process.

During the process of goal setting and following through on objectives you should always reflect back on your success and on your set backs.  Taking a step forward time and time again with no reflection is moving to fast and perhaps even reckless.

Reflective Objectives are objectives that are directly set to take time to reflect and look back at what got you further on down the road and also to reflect on what has hindered you.

You have to 'connect the dots' looking backward as Steve Jobs stated the the speech to the graduation class at standford univ.  You have to trust your instincts, your gut, your faith but you still have to look back and reflect.

It will help you achieve your goals and your dreams quicker and with more success.

Just some thoughts and as always smiles sent to you this day and everyday.

Next Step Objectives ~ Smiles and Inspiration 2012 ~ Day 83 of 366 ~ 3/23/12

Next Step Objectives

The longest journey begins with a single step in front of another.  So when you set objectives and want to see them through always do you planning as you would a flow chart.  Taking the next step planned in front of the next objective.

So a dream can turn into a reality with a plan of action, trial and error and failure until it works.

Dreams become goals and goals in fact where once dreams.

If you ever looked a the design of a flow chart you see it has constant choices that can take you in two different directions.  For example:

Alarm rings ------> hit snooze or ------> turn off alarm and get up out of bed.

Hit snooze -----> 10 minutes more sleep and/or ----->late for work or ------->get up to prevent being late for work.

You get the idea, life is full of choices.  We can always however understand the consequences of choosing one direction over the other.  Upfront consider the consequences of making the decision prior to making it.

Another way at looking at the next step objective is your never done with a goal.  You always have a next step so that your mind and body and spirit are never idle.

A busy mind is much better than a mind always asleep.

We are either growing in life and taking the next step or we are going backwards there is no just standing still.

So the next time you set some objectives for your goal/dream that your creating think about planning the next step towards success and even if failure comes to rest at your feet step over it.   Step over the failure, get over the failure and understand in reality you just got an education.

Not a bad way to move forward is it?

Quote of the Day 

Focused, hard work is the real key to success. 

Keep your eyes on the goal, and just keep taking the next step towards completing it. 

If you aren't sure which way to do something, 

do it both ways and see which works better. 

: o )  John Carmack
