CLARITY KICKSTART: Week of April 1, 2013
“If you’re serious about your Wildly Important Goal (WIG), then you must create a way to track it. As one of our clients puts it, ‘If you’re not keeping score, you’re just practicing.'”
~ McChesney, Covey, & Huling
Coaching Tip For The Week:
Quick: Where are you at with your most important 2013 goal?
If you cannot answer that quickly, are you really “in the game” when it comes to your growth? Or are you watching from the sidelines and hoping for the best?
Writing a goal is important: it crystallizes your idea and begins to develop the action plan. But to achieve the goal – especially if it’s a WIG – you need to track your progress along the way. You need to truly declare yourself in the game!
This week, make a chart or scorecard to track your most important goal. Find an app, create a spreadsheet, or – my personal favorite – pull out paper and markers and have some fun with it.
Keep your tracking chart present so you can celebrate your progress, adjust your course, and truly play to win – instead of playing not to lose.
