Evaluating Your Actions - J V Crum, III, Conscious Millionaire Coaching
The only way to really evaluate your actions - or for that matter, anyone's - is to first know what your goal is. This, of course, brings up a bigger issue. Most people have no specific goal in mind most of the time and therefore their actions have no specific purpose. If they don't have a specific purpose, then how could you evaluate whether they were worth the time and energy you put into doing them?
Here is my point - if you want to know if your actions are the right ones there is only one way to know. It starts with knowing what your outcome, or goal, was in doing them. I would estimate that 80% or more of many people's actions are done without a specific goal in mind. That is, they might as well have been random.
Can you really afford for your actions to not be strategic in nature - to be tied to specific goals - if you want to achieve at your highest levels?
OF COURSE NOT!
How to remedy quickly....
Set up every day with a clear set of goals - ONE MAJOR GOAL, up to 3 MINOR GOALS - and then only take actions that relate to these GOALS.
There is ALWAYS ONE GOAL that is the most important for you each day - and if you think there are actually 3, 4, 5, 10 goals that are equally important, then I ask you to reconsider your priorities - that is, get clear at the beginning of your day what your real priorities are.
THEN FOCUS YOUR DAY WITH ACTIONS THAT SUPPORT YOUR ONE MAJOR AND UP TO THREE MINOR GOALS FOR THAT DAY. If you get other things done - great - but make sure those actions support Goals that really matter instead of being that "busy work" stuff that ROBS you of your real success in any day!
To Your Success!
