5 Questions To Achieve Your Goals
When it comes to achieving goals, most people focus on the definition or formulation of the goal. I’m sure you’ve heard about the S.M.A.R.T goals which stand for:
- S = Specific (What specifically do your want?)
- M = Measurable (How will you know when you’ve reached it?) = Evidence procedure
- A = Attainable (Is it in your power to accomplish it?)
- R = Realistic (Can you realistically achieve it?)
- T = Timely (When do you want to accomplish it?)
Another way I learned to formulate a goal is to use the C.R.E.A.T.E frame:
- C = Clear and concise (Maximum 2 sentences)
- R = Realistic (as above)
- E = Ecological (This is about considering the consequences of achieving your goal for yourself, your family, your community, and the world/planet)
- A = As now (State your goal in the present tense “I am… or I have…”)
- T = Towards what you want and Timed (Make sure it is aligned with your Core Values and you Set a Date on when you want to accomplish it)
- E = End Step/Evidence procedure (Have a clear picture of what the end step looks like so you’ll know when you reach it).
As you can see the two frames to set goals are fairly similar, with some differences that are important to consider… But what I really want to share with you today is what comes next, because setting a goal without taking action, is not going to help you achieve it… A lot of people stop at the goal formulation (THE OUTCOME), follows is about THE PROCESS.
“What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.” – Zig Ziglar
In addition to formulating your goal carefully, the following 5 Questions are what will make the difference whether you achieve your goal or not… and to give you a hint, It’s not just about the Question you ask, it’s more about the sequence in which you ask the question….
- Why? (purpose, cause) – What is your reason, your purpose?
- What? (service, product, idea, vehicle) – What is it specifically you would love to do?
Here is the most common mistake people make. They ask themselves How? And get bogged down here… The quality question to ask next is not How but…
- When? (put a date to start) – What is your time frame or sequence? Without a date, it’s always tomorrow or someday…and in most cases it’s never day…
- Who? (who do I need to connect with? Who is my target/audience?) – Who do you need to contact/connect with to move forward?
- How? (Chunk things in bite-size to avoid overwhelm) – What are the steps (the sequence in time and space) to follow?
In Nutshell:
Setting goals is much more than formulating your goals correctly. Of course, it’s very important to be really clear and realistic on your Goal (OUTCOME), but it’s even more crucial to be clear on the PROCESS. Most of the time people have the why and the what, and then they ask the wrong question. They ask HOW?
The key is to follow the order of these questions. “When?” and “Who?” before the “How?”, because “when” and “who” define the sequence in time and space which then allows the strategy (HOW) to be put in place.
