Destination

Habit number 2 of Stephen Covey’s seven habits is ‘Begin with the end in mind’. It is such an important concept and yet one on which we so often lack sufficient clarity.

I am always asking people what they are trying to achieve; what they want their business to look like and perform like at a certain point in time. It needs time and effort to get a useful answer. Most answers are vague and ill thought through, certainly at first. It is little wonder people don’t achieve their goals if their goals are so vague.

If you want to go to 10 Downing Street, putting ‘London’ into your Sat Nav won’t get you there.

The number 1 question is really, who do you want to become? If you are a plumber and you want to be the owner of a successful plumbing business, becoming a better plumber isnt going to get you there. You need to become a person capable of running and leading a business of a certain size. You need to understand what that means in detail so you can put the precise coordinates in your mental sat nav and then you can start to work out what you need to do, to become who you need to become.

To do:

1. Schedule some quiet time to think deeply about what you want to achieve.
2. Start to work out who you need to become in order for you to reach your destination and succeed once you are there.
3. Speak to a coach, friend trusted advisor about the challenge.
4. Decide on the first step
5. Commit to and schedule time to take the first step.
6. Your journey has begun, what is the second step?
