Defining our Goals

Are you having difficulty achieving goals? Would you like an easier route to making them real?
The following process gives you a framework to getting you from where you are now to where you really want to be!

Well-defined goals are vital in all elements of business. The following process is one I use in business and personally. Work through the questions and remember that your initial response is normally the most useful.

1. Stated in the positive
What do I want?

2. The evidence
What would be my evidence that I have achieved my objective?
How would I know if I were getting my objective?
What would I be doing to get it?
What would I be seeing/hearing/feeling?
What would be a demonstration of it?

3. The specifics
Where do I want this objective?
Where do I not want this objective?
When do I want this objective?
When do I not want this objective?
With whom do I want this objective?
With whom do I not want this objective?

4. The actions
What resources can I activate to get this objective?
What resources can I acquire to get this objective?
What can I do?
What can I continue doing?

5. The future
What will happen if I get this objective?
How will getting this objective affect other aspects of my life?
How does getting this objective benefit me?
Are any secondary benefits preserved?
What might I lose if it happens?

This model will help you define and formalise your objective and give you a framework to achieve it.
