When someone sets a goal the question of “what” the goal is may not change and might not necessarily need to. However, the question of “how” to achieve the goal may not have one best answer, and the person who is working towards the goal may have to experiment with different methods. Unforeseen circumstances are bound to arise when someone is working towards a goal, so the best way to achieve a goal is to have a strategy, develop a new strategy if the current one is not working, implement the new strategy, and justify the strategy.
Key Takeaways:
- The way to achieve our goals is to hold them tightly and our strategies loosely.
- The key to developing your own goal setting super power is to develop your tolerance for “changing your route” as often as you need to get to your goal.
- If, like me, you can’t rely on your natural ability to excel at flexibility, here are 4 keys to help you cultivate this in yourself: 1. Your goals may be sacred, but your strategy sure isn’t. 2. A plan is still important. 3. Possibility thinking is the secret sauce. 4. Show your work.
