It's too easy to forget these aspects which add meaning to the goal, and give us the power to get it done.<br><br>Another aspect to goal-setting is the distinction that David Allen (Getting Things Done) makes between actions (one step) and projects (multi-step, even with simple steps).<br><br>So many people get stopped, because they get overwhelmed by the complexity of a "project" goal.<br><br>Instead they need to t make it clear to themselves that a certain goal has multiple steps, and all they need to do is focus on the next step in order to get to the end. All they need to do is find the strength to do one step at a time.<br><br>Similarly, in business, many people struggle through similar tasks, over and over again, when they could turns those tasks into a system.<br><br>Michael Gerber (E-myth) and others talk about the power of systems to make us more effective in business, and enable us to offload the tasks that we don't like doing to other people, while focusing on what we love to do.<br><br>There are many products for people in business (such as FreedomBusinessSystem) that help people design simple systems, so the businessperson doesn't get buried by the weight of tedious work.jack jonesSun, 17 Feb 2008 11:24:54 -0000
