Achieving our goals doesn't just happen, it requires compromise or sacrifice.
What are you willing to sacrifice to raise your lid (capacity)?
To achieve the goals I set for 2018, I will need to sacrifice the following:
Goal: Develop more technical skills as I assist more small businesses get into e-commerce.
Sacrifice: I will have to allot at least 50 hours a month to learn new technical skills that will help me become a better trainer. This includes deliberately signing up for trainings and get new mentors. Appropriate 25% of my income for that.
Goal: Roll out business model changes to my current programs.
Sacrifice: These changes may require time for idea acceptance and I must be willing to sacrifice some losses in its initial stages.
Goal: Identify areas of personal growth and work on them.
Sacrifice: I would like to grow in the area of coaching - practicing what I learned in the John Maxwell Team. I will be signing up for mentorship and work with my past students to get enough practice. I will need to allot 20 hours of my time a month to grow on this plus investment in a coaching program. My growth in this area will affect my life as I discover myself more and improve further.
To achieve the next steps in my goal requires follow through. There will be a lot of opportunities and distractions along the way. Hence the reason why I limited my goals to 3 ---- to give myself flexibility to work on other areas.
How about you? What are you willing to sacrifice to raise your lid (capacity)?
