What is your BHAG for 2023?

Do you have any goals going into the new year?

As we approach 2023, it’s important to set goals for yourself.  But, not just any goals, a big, hairy, audacious goal (BHAG).  For me, I will have at least 40 speaking engagements in 2023.  What is your BHAG for next year?  Make sure to reach out and share it with me on social media or via email.  In the #CJJblog this week, I give you some tips on how you can set and achieve your big, hairy, audacious goal before you know it.  Enjoy.

• Clarity.  Is your BHAG written down somewhere?  Is it specific and measurable?  I recommend putting it somewhere you will see it every day and you can recite it to yourself in the mirror.
• Break it down.  Do you want to lose 20 pounds?  How about a big job promotion?  Breaking your goal down into smaller, bite-sized individual goals, makes it easier and seem less daunting.
• System.  How are you going to achieve your goal?  Did you hire a coach?  What are the steps you are going to put into action?
• Accountability partner.  Schedule weekly calls with someone whom you trust.  Go over your progress, your struggles, and your plan of attack.
• Support system.  Share your BHAG with those you know will support you and be your cheerleaders.  Think twice about including those on your journey who may be skeptical or negative.
• Quarters.  Break the year down into four 90-day quarters.  Assess your progress at the end of each quarter.  Ask yourself: 1) What am I doing well? 2) What should I keep doing? And 3) What do I need to change?
• Mental.  How’s your headspace?  Are you visualizing the finish line and what success looks like?
