Without a winning target, you can’t win. If you fail to set one, you’ve already chosen to lose.
Question: What is your winning target for today? For this week? For this month? What achievement would make today a win for you?
If you don’t have a winning target for today, this week, or this month, you’re setting yourself up for failure. Why choose to lose? Remember, humans are never defeated – we defeat ourselves.
Change the trajectory of your life today. Here’s how:
Set SMART Goals: Define your wins with Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-based goals.
Focus on Key Areas: Ensure these goals relate to the most important aspects of your life.
Visualize Your Goals: Write them down on a big board in your office or find a suitable alternative. Keep them visible.
Set Deadlines: Assign a date for each goal.
Identify Stepping Stones: Break down your goals into smaller, manageable targets. For instance, if you aim to become a train driver, your steps might include booking your learner assessment, obtaining training materials, and enrolling in a training program.
Follow the SMART Principle: Ensure each stepping stone is Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-based.
Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Targets: Set targets that are necessary in order to meet your stepping stones to keep you on track.
By doing this, you’ll know what winning looks like. Daily, weekly, and monthly targets will guide you towards your goals. If you meet your daily target, you’ve won the day. Aim to win at least 5 out of 7 days each week. As Anthony Vicino says, “Success is maintaining momentum in the right direction.”
Life goals are achieved through daily wins.
John C. Maxwell put it so well:
“You will never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.”
The sweetness of a day won will inspire you to achieve more. Success breeds more success.
Let’s start reclaiming our success. Let’s start winning.
