Here’s Why Only Two People Raised their Hands for your SMART goal template:
But let’s back up a bit…
if you are talking to women entrepreneurs,
the driven ones, the relentless ones,
the ones who stare down obstacles without flinching,
the ones who pursue goals with HEART and SOUL…
you must know who it is you’re really talking to.
Women like us have one core answer to any question:
The answer is this:
WHATEVER IT TAKES.
Q: How did you do ___________?
A: By whatever means necessary, woman. That’s how. By waking up every single morning with a RELENTLESS desire for the goals that were PLANTED in my soul before the foundations of the earth were laid… and taking step after step until they were mind.
Is there any other way?
You see, we don’t SEEK goals that are reasonable,
goals that ASSURE a “victory”
(no matter how small.)
We don’t DESIRE applause for each and every step, and — in fact — find that sort of thing DISTRACTING. Also, the CHAMPION in us can never mistake a “Next step” as a REAL GOAL. We don’t need easy, reasonable goals that INSURE some mediocre win disguised as victory.
Please.
What we NEED
what we DEMAND
are goals that INSPIRE us…
Goals that LIGHT US UP,
challenge our very being,
push us to be more than we were this morning.
What WE consider smart
are goals that STRETCH our potential
until it cries for mercy. 😊
And we will not settle for some dressed up version of mediocrity so that we can be declared “relatable.”
So, keep your “reasonable goals” template. We’ve got some amazing things to accomplish, some LEAPS to take. And yes… we’re willing to get dirty, bloody, sweaty and tired in an effort to achieve OUR “unreasonable” goals.
Good news though: if you’re pursuing SMART goals, you’ll have plenty of time to watch US go big.
If you have HUGE goals,
UNREASONABLE goals,
walk away from
ANYONE who demands you go small, think small…
and calls this SMART.
