BRX Pro Tip: Break That Big Goal Down
Stone Payton: [00:00:00] And we are back with BRX Pro Tips. Lee Kantor and Stone Payton here with you this morning. Lee, we have to consistently set the mark, establish goals. Sometimes they’re really big, as they should be. But if we’re getting stuck, if we’re having a challenge, your advice is, often, break that big goal down into smaller ones. Yeah?
Lee Kantor: [00:00:22] Absolutely. I think, a lot of times, you get stuck on the big goal because it just is too overwhelming and you don’t know where to begin. I think it’s worth the time to kind of look at that big goal, and then just break it down into smaller goals. And then, once you do that and have these smaller goals, then you can create the action steps to just solve that first step. What does it take to kind of achieve that first step? And then, just slowly and methodically create the movement you need to keep that ball rolling. That will get you eventually to your big goal.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:57] But sometimes, big goals are just too big in the sense that you don’t know where to begin. So, the best thing is break it down into smaller goals, create the movement that begets more movement, start doing something, see where that goes, what you learned, where can we adjust, where can we take one more action. Then, you’ll find that easier path. And then, by taking that path, then you’re going to get to where you want to go.
Lee Kantor: [00:01:21] But make sure you’re checking to see if you’re making progress every day on that goal once you get some momentum because momentum is the key. You cannot just, every day, have this big goal on the wall and not do anything towards it. It’s going to frustrate your team; it’s going to frustrate you. So, break the goal down, take some action, and move the ball a little bit each day and you’ll eventually get there.
