Making small changes at first may be the way to ultimately have a very big impact. Small Steps Produce Big Results Incrementalism is the new way of reaching your goals. To determine the first steps to building momentum toward your goal.... Ask yourself “What can I do right now to create energy around my goal?” and “What actions can I take now to make progress toward my goal?” START NOW! Don’t wait for the perfect time or the right weather. 4 tips to help you along the way: 1. Establish a clear direction, and find your co-pilots Share your vision. Ask your circle for input, ideas, & feedback. Determine which goals you can commit to this week and this month that will give you momentum. 2. Beware of pretend planning Don’t fall into the trap of detailed planning months into the future when there are so many unknowns that make it unrealistic. Once the vision is in place, “How far out can you see?” Take your practical plan to that point, then build in a cycle to learn and adjust as you go. 3. Visualize the future for yourself and others Ask yourself and your circle, “What will happen when I realize my goal?” Think about how you will react. This is a simple way to envision tomorrow, then work backward to realize what needs to happen to get there. 4. Learn. Plan. Repeat. Incremental planning may seem too basic or overly focused on the short term, but taking small steps daily and weekly can create a wave of momentum. The same is true in your personal life. Take time to reflect on areas in your life that could benefit from incremental changes and think about what you could accomplish in a year if you approached everything this way. New Year’s resolutions get a bad rap. But taking the time to formulate a strategic plan can turn your incremental goals into powerful tools for you and your business.
