6/29/2023-Goal Setting
Skill

The TOP 10% obsessively set goals…all over the place and for everything. Account goals, weekly meetings goals, RFP goals, KDM contact goals…time management goals (yup, those too). Goals are the ultimate drivers that push you forward….and measure your effort and skills.

Rev goals get set for you by management, but all other goals need to be set by you. On June 20, you were tasked with creating at least one account and skill goal for Q3, and because the end of the quarter is tomorrow, it's time to review and set them in stone.

As your strategic account planning work has progressed in the last few weeks, so may your thinking about your account and skill goals.

Do

You've already identified your account and skill goals for the upcoming quarter, so now it's time to pressure test the goals by applying the SMART measurement filter.

Timely and thorough goal execution will thrust you into the TOP 10%, so complete your SMART work today by writing down specific answers for each goal against the SMART criteria. Again, the T for Time is easy (90 days, i.e., Q3), but pay special attention to the "M"…Measurement. What specifically are the criteria that will measure success for your goals? This section will take the most time to complete, so it's smart to work on your goals over a few weeks.

When it comes to goal-setting, you can consume endless videos and content to inspire you. However, that inspiration often fades the second you move to another task.

Finding content that reminds you about the importance of goal-setting is important. Start with the recommendation here, and move on if it doesn't speak to you or if you need something different. The point is to ingest a steady diet of whatever to help you focus on your goals.

You are highly motivated, but everyone needs consistent reminders and guidance to stay atop the mountain. Remember, the TOP 10% is your ultimate goal.
