Companies spend money and time developing strategies to ensure they stay profitable and competitive in the market. The strategy includes benchmarking to understand competition and customers.
It is typically a big picture with a long time horizon. The organization aligns its goals and targets to this strategy. Throughout shorter timeframes, the company reassesses and makes the necessary updates to actions while staying focused on the strategy.
Now take that same approach in your personal life.
This is essentially your personal strategy.
Instead of benchmarking competition and customers, focus on skills and experiences needed to fulfill your dreams. We owe this to ourselves.
I personally use my time with my life and executive coaches as my focused time. I have a busy schedule and I know if I don’t schedule sessions, I can become distracted from my goals or lose the accountability to push myself and achieve my dreams.
Our personal strategy is necessary to stay the course, understand the obstacles and make any necessary changes to ensure we reach our dreams and goals.
What are some of your techniques you use to stay focused and motivated on your personal strategy?
