Take A Look At Your Goals: Are You On Track?

[lockhartkitchen]

I heard a statistic the other day about college students who had goals written down vs those who didn't. Those who had goals, reached those goals more often and made more money in their life time. How many of you have recently checked your goals? I looked at my signature line here at CS and said, "Wow- I am on my way to director, I have been doing close to 8 shows, and I'm almost to level 1. (I realized a trip wasn't realistic with my current life), but that's okay. I'd never reached a level, so that's an achievement for me. When we see our goals in front of us, we are more likely to achieve them.

Re: GoalsThis is so true. I have done "goal worksheets" with my team, and plan to review them with them at our September meeting, to touch base and see where they are. I always share my goals with them, too, so they can hold me accountable and cheer me on!

Way to go with your goal achievements so far - keep up the great work and maybe you can set the bar higher next year!!

Re: GoalsI completely agree. A couple months ago, I started a little visual goal reminder that seems to be making a difference.

I bought a set of mini dot repositional stickers (they come with blue, green, yellow, and red). In my day planner, I put the red ones on the days I'm not available for shows. I then put 8 green ones across the top of the month. As I book cooking shows, I move one down to the date of the show. I can tell at a glance how many more shows I need to book to reach my goal. (For September, I put 15 across the top as part of Amanda's booking challenge, and now there's only four left.)

Re: GoalsI too am a visual person. I like the idea of dots.
