"Goals not in writing are Dreams."

Something that I have failed to do, that I know has contributed to my slow rate of progression, is to have my goals in writing. Not just work but personal, academic, physical, etc. In the realization that I have nothing to track and to hold myself accountable to as well as have other people hold me accountable to, I have fallen short of goals that I have set for myself. The truth of the matter is that no matter much you here it the things that get measured get done. So, in light of this realization I have started to develop a lot more of my goals in greater detail. Having the metrics and a tracking system for them. Breaking everything down from year to month to week to day. It would be crazy and obsurd that I would have come up with all of these goals and completely mapped them out in a week. It's going to be a process as well to map out all of my goals, and this is also something that I am greatly looking forward to. I definitely feel that once this is taken care of, and I have a solid road map I will be well on my way to leaving my footprint on society through a legacy of progression.

He's the King with the Crown

I recently attended a sales and management seminar with very knowledgeable, and well respected individual. The great Jack Daly has a multitude of concepts that one can apply not only to the business world, but into life in general; goal setting, standards of performance, the profound impact of first impressions. There are much too many concepts to try and implement in one day or even a month. In order to fully grasp the entirety of success that these concepts can provide will take at least a couple of years. However, this is something that I am more than willing to take the time to put into action and see how successful of a person I can be if done properly. One of Jack's trademark comments is "model the masters". This can be in any industry, and unfortunately this is something that I have failed to do in my previous years; it's also something that I am willing to change in order to progress in the areas necessary for me to have what I want in a reasonable amount of time. Not only am I excited to implement these ideas for myself, but I am utterly thrilled to share these concepts with my new managers that I will be working with this year in College Works.
