One Bite at a Time

If you are reading this, you should be getting close to giving yourself the best Christmas gift, a plan for approaching the Big Rocks of 2022. We are just a few days away from what could be one of the best years of your life if you approach it with a successful strategy. 

When we hear the word strategy, we often think it is only applicable to organizations and businesses, but we need a strategy for our personal lives. The Oxford Dictionary defines strategy “as a plan of action or policy designed to achieve a major or overall aim.” Your Big Rocks are your major goals for the coming year, and charting an achievable plan to complete them is your strategy. 

My first thought for creating a strategy is setting realistic action steps and due dates. When setting a due date for Big Rocks, we take into consideration that things often don’t go as unplanned, especially if that rock is also dependent on other people. This helps us to set a date that allows for these human variables. Likewise, one of the best ways to make sure that your strategy yields the expected results is to break your Big Rock into small pieces by setting realistic tasks for every week or month and work towards achieving them little by little. 

How do you eat an elephant (if you like that sort of thing 😊)? Exactly! One bite at a time! Set goals, determine steps to take, establish deadlines and stay accountable!

Excited about your future,

Courtney
