You don’t achieve your goals by just focusing on them. In the movie Apollo, when the satellite was launched, it was not directed just at the moon rather at the curve…
Achieving Your Goals In Business
“You cannot achieve your goal simply by focusing on it. Instead focus on those things that are within your control.”
As entrepreneur, your goal might be to achieve a particular profit margin. If you focus on that margin you will either over price and loose sales or you will be discouraged and loose sales.
Rather focus on your operations; negotiating better deals, improving customer relationship, winning more customer patronage, optimizing your processes and efficiencies etc if you do all these, you will see that your goal is being achieved.
Every year end, people write resolutions for a new year. Only few people actually achieved it because we have been trained to focus our mind on our goals.
Start focusing on improving those things that are under your control that can lead to achieving your goals. You will be surprised how much you can achieve your goal.
