Why You Should Start Some Goals In The Middle

Why You Should Start Some Goals In The Middle | Ten skills that employers want | Scoop.it
From www.fastcompany.com - March 12, 2018 5:45 PM

Traditional goal setting focuses on the beginning and the end—start strong and keep your eye on the prize. Unfortunately, that process doesn’t work for every kind of goal, says Scott Young, author of How to Change a Habit.

 

“A lot has been taught around the classic self-help style of Zig Ziglar or Tony Robbins where you have a clear goal, you visualize it, write it down, and focus on the starting point,” says Young, cofounder of the career development course Top Performer. “Some goals, though, aren’t clearly sequential.”

 

The middle can and should be your starting point when you’re setting a goal where you’re unclear of the level you can achieve within a particular timeframe. This is especially the case with daunting, unfamiliar goals where you don’t yet have a strong sense of the big picture.

5 Ways to Stay Motivated When You Feel Like Giving Up

5 Ways to Stay Motivated When You Feel Like Giving Up | Ten skills that employers want | Scoop.it
From www.inc.com - March 27, 2017 6:54 PM

You're pouring all your energy into a goal expecting an outcome worthy of the effort you're putting in. Yet, months have come and gone and you're not where you want to be.

Maybe your business isn't growing as much as you anticipated. Maybe your weight isn't sliding off as easy as you expected. Your level of motivation is like a boxer who's on the ropes and is close to being TKO'ed.

It's in these very moments where it's tempting to wave the white flag, especially with self-doubt and negative chatter whispering in your ear. You'll have moments where your hard work seems to be for nothing. Results seem like a distant fantasy.

But, this is part of the journey of growing as an individual.

It's during these times when your perspective is of the utmost importance. Here are five effective ways to stay motivated about your goals, even when you feel like giving up.

Five Techniques for Maintaining a Positive Mindset

From www.inc.com - June 30, 2017 9:57 PM

My great-grandparents, Cleve and Zelma Carder, lost almost everything they owned during the Dust Bowl years. After losing their homestead and ranch, they packed what they could into a Conestoga Wagon and made the trek from Northern New Mexico to find work picking cotton in the fields of Oklahoma.

When my great-grandmother told me stories of those difficult times, it wasn't with bitterness or anger. She would laugh as she recalled her husband's refusal to remove her grand piano from their wagon, despite the fact that it weighed over 1000 pounds. Instead, the family would spend several hours digging the wagon free from the sand in the dried-up riverbeds that they crossed.

In the last years of her life, her strongest memories were not of her failures or disappointments but of the love and hope experienced within them.

I am grateful to her for helping me learn at an early age that we get to choose how we view our circumstances and how we let them affect our mindset.
