Why do people set clear goals?
What is the role of goals to achieve Success?
Successful people focus on getting what they want. – Brian Tracy
Let see what Sara Blakely, the founder of Spanx did;
Sara worked a series of odd jobs, including selling fax machines door-to-door, before she even landed a job at a company selling office equipment.
While working at this job, Blakely was frustrated with the lack of options for women’s undergarments that could be worn with certain outfits, and she believed that there was a market for a product that would address this need.
She came up with an idea for a new kind of undergarment spent months researching fabrics and designs and eventually created a prototype of her product, which is now called Spanx.
With her life savings of $5,000, Blakely founded Spanx in 2000 and began selling her products out of her apartment. She used her sales skills to convince buyers at major department stores to carry her products, and soon Spanx was a hit.
Blakely’s relentless focus helped her grow Spanx into a multi-million dollar business.
Despite facing many challenges along the way, she never gave up on her vision.
Her vision and goal was to help women feel confident and comfortable in their clothing, and this unwavering focus helped her build a loyal customer base.
Sara Blakely’s story shows us success as an entrepreneur requires heart and a combination of a clear vision, a need to solve in the market, creativity, determination, and a focus on customer satisfaction.
So in order to know what you truly want identify a need in the market, continuously innovate, and stay true to your vision.
Like Blakely anyone of us can build a successful business that can change the way women think about not just about undergarments but anything in life.
To all the women and girls out there… never dim your light. The world needs YOU to shine bright – Sara Blakely
So how do we do that?
Setting clear goals with key habits and behaviors are the foundation stones in the journey to a successful life & Career.
- Unwavering Focus: An unwavering focus on our goals and objectives is crucial to our success. When you have a clear vision of what you want to achieve, and relentlessly pursues it, regardless of the challenges or setbacks that come our way we will not lose focus.
- Continuous Learning: Be a voracious learner who is constantly seeking new knowledge and ideas. Many successful entrepreneurs, men and women whose names we remember to this day, were known to spend hours reading books, attending conferences, and engaging with experts to gain a deeper understanding of the topics that interest them.
- Bold Decision-Making: Do not afraid to take bold and unconventional decisions, even if they are risky or unpopular. You must understand and believe, in order to achieve great things, we must be willing to take big risks and make bold moves.
- Strong Leadership: Being a charismatic leader is a skill. When we lead by example and are deeply involved in every aspect of our business we demonstrate this skill
- Innovative Thinking: Be a visionary thinker who is always looking for new and innovative ways to solve problems. We can nurture creative thinking with willingness to challenge conventional wisdom.
- Resilience: Each one of us must face numerous setbacks and failures throughout our career, but we have to build resilience and bounce back stronger. How do we do that? A strong belief in our vision and the willingness to persevere through even the toughest of challenges.
Finally, when we live with Intention, set goals aligned with our vision, the habits and behaviors we demonstrate we properly us towards achieving success.
Remember this requires a combination of unwavering focus, continuous learning, bold decision-making, strong leadership, innovative thinking, and resilience.
By emulating these habits and behaviors, not just aspiring entrepreneurs anyone can increase their chances of achieving success in their own ventures.
In his book Goals, Brain Tracy talks about, how we can set clear goals, to achieve everything we want faster than we think we can!
Step 1:
Think about what you want to be, have, and do in your life Take your time to think about your wishes, needs, and desires, and write them down.
Step 2.
Write down what you think about most of the time. This will give us a deeper insight into our personality
Step 3.
Take time to set important, clear, and precise goals. Clarity will make the process of achieving these goals much easier.
Step 4.
Set daily goals . Some of the goals we set should be short-term, and some long-term. Achieving goals on a daily basis will give us a sense of accomplishment and happiness, and it will prompt us to work every day to achieve our bigger goals.
Finally
Accept the possibility of failure and rejection .
Failure and rejection are a part of life and should be considered lessons, not obstacles.
Remember to build GRIT and a Growth Mindset on this journey. Because failures are required to find the right success strategy in our journey to success. But if we do the same, with the support of a mentor, we can fast track the number of failures we face and enjoy success this journey!
Here’s to your Intentional Success!
