My why behind SMUUT goals!
A SMUUT goal is big!
It is specific, measurable, unachievable (when you set it), unrealistic and time-bound. By definition, it is out of reach and you do not know HOW to do it when you set it (or else it would be a SMART goal).
So why set SMUUT goals?
✅They are based on opportunity not history.
✅They are centred around a strong ‘why?’ A clear vision that inspires you to take action.
✅They are designed to stretch your imagination, creativity and thinking.
✅You really have to commit.
✅They ensure you remove downhill habits and as much low-value activity as you can. ✅You can’t do it all alone - they encourage you to be curious, adopt a growth mindset and work out who’s help you need, about what and by when.
✅They are designed to have a transformational impact on your life.
What helps you achieve them?
⭐️Clarity of why going after this goal matters.
⭐️Your ‘why’ inspires you in the good times and builds resilience and persistence in the tough times.
⭐️Creating a strong vision of the difference this goal will make to you, your family, team and/or business.
⭐️Visual representations that you see consistently - examples include a
vision board, a screensaver, a physical picture or pictures you place in your house, car,
journal or on your desk.
⭐️Visualisation: a clear picture in your mind of you achieving your SMUUT goal and ideallythe impact it makes on you/those around you.
⭐️A process to break the SMUUT goal down to avoid you becoming overwhelmed, such as the GiFT631 ‘1+3+6 process’.
⭐️Committing time and being consistent with goal focused action. Hence the 1+3+6 process.
🛑Stopping low value activity/downhill habits to create the
right energy, mindset and capacity to go SMUUT!
⭐️Getting into ACTION! The only way to start is to start.
⭐️Committing time and being consistent with goal focused action. Hence the 1+3+6 process.
⭐️Creating an accountability partner or group. Sharing your SMUUT goal with this group - in fact, when your belief system is strong, why not go public with your goals?
⭐️Developing your winning circle to be the wind beneath your wings 🦅.
By contrast a SMART goal breeds mediocrity as it is based on what has happened and adding a little more. It is based on history not opportunity. It limits our potential
and encourages us to play small. Even when we achieve a SMART goal, does it really make a significant difference to our lives?
Go SMUUT and go #allin!
