It's easy to get caught up in an activity trap, in the busyness of life, to work harder and harder at climbing the ladder of success only to discover it's been leaning against the wrong wall.
Beginning with the end in mind is critical for making the correct decisions along the way, knowing when you’ve achieved the goal, and finding the motivation to keep going when things get tough.
You need to know where you are going in order to better understand where you are now so that the steps you take are always in the right direction.
But how do you begin With the End In Mind
👉 Dream Big (Or Small)
👉 Be Honest - assess your current situation. It’s really important that you’re brutally honest with yourself during this step. The more clearly you see your current situation, the better prepared you’ll be to remove yourself from it and chase your dreams.
👉 Design a Path - When you know exactly where you stand and have a clear vision of where you want to end up, you’re ready to start designing a path between the two.
👉 Put Pen to paper and craft your mission statement, a statement that defines your purpose, why that purpose matters to you, and how you plan to pursue it.
👉 Time to commit to the plan that will get you from where you are to where you want to be in the least time possible.
Ultimately, I have found that people work best when they have a clear end goal with a deadline attached.
By creating one for your business, project or life in the start, the journey will be much more motivating, enjoyable and rewarding.
There is no point in driving a fast car if you are heading in the wrong direction. Agree?
