Having Goals (2/14/08)

Thursday, February 14th, 2008

“Having No Goals” according to Kate Lorenz, Editor of Career Builder.com, is a fatal Career Move. Lorenz says, “Failure doesn’t lie in not reaching your goal, but in not having a goal to reach.” It is my belief that having goals applies to not only careers, but also life. Careers require professional goals. Life requires personal goals. Having both personal and professional goals result in a balanced and successful life. Lorenz says, “Eighty percent of your effectiveness comes from 20 percent of your activities.” Visualize your goals, write them down, and commit to daily activities. Prioritize and focus on those daily activities that will assist you in achieving your goals.
