No you haven’t just stumbled upon the Caribbean version of ‘Cribs’. This is the Viceroy Resort in the stunning Caribbean island of Anguilla. To say I have never set foot in a more unbelievable establishment would not be an exaggeration and I’m not even…
Goals the most intellectually understood process but the most mis understood activity. Every few months if we are lucky we go through the process under protest of setting our team members goals. It’s quite often seen as an accademic exercise, let’s get it done and out of the way, then we dust it off at review time, struggling to remember what we meant by what was written. Yes but it’s a two way process I hear you say, the person who is receiving the goals is just as responsible about making sure they are set. I absolutely agree , and the individual is just as guilty because they generally don’t get their goals out again until a day before review time just to make sure they can reverse engineer the results as it may effect the next increase. Wow what a Eureka moment! Both parties have missed a massive opportunity.
People are engineered to perform best when they have a laser light focus on what they want to achieve or more importantly what they expect to achieve. But more importantly go backwards if they don’t have a goal. If you are not making progress towards your goal, you are generally moving backwards, you never stand still, your life isn’t in suspended animation.
Like ships in the night both parties miss the opportunity to move forward. Different things motivate different people. It’s worth spending the time understanding what gives people a burn big enough to get up and make something happen as well as those good old company goals.
Get to know your people you will be positively surprised what you find out, and most importantly get to know what you want, and set goals to drive towards them, you will get really motivated as you progress towards your goal.
When was the last time you wrote down your goals?
After all it wasn’t until Kennedy set a goal to put a man on the moon that this became a reality. Good luck
Did you realise……
The Average wage in the UK is £25k, the top 2% earn £160k +, the top 1% earn £8m +, the lowest wage is £7k.20 % of people don’t earn the lowest wage and are therefore in poverty.
The top 5% earn over 35% of the money.
After tax the take home for the average wage is £1400 per month.
Morale to the story…
Leadership is thin, you need to do something different to stand out from the crowd.
No wonder people struggle.What are you going to do ?
There is a great deal of talk in the media about green shoots. Are we coming out of the doldrums, is the recession over ?Everyone is desperate for some good news. There is no doubt that the market is improving, even if it’s a slight change.But the most Important question for you is-“Are you ready and prepared to hit the ground running, coming out of the recession”
I strongly believe that the people who are prepared the most will have the greatest success.It is a fact that the majority of people will try and invest in the stock market once most of the gains have been taken.
It’s the same following previous recessions.
The people that set themselves apart from other and get prepared and start behaving as if we are on the climb will have the greatest success.Whatever your business, whatever your goals are, whatever your Job situation, get ready to move.
Getting started is half done.
Good Luck!
