When I can not tell myself what I hope to accomplish, I am probably doing something that I do not need to do.
By understanding the purpose of what I am doing, I work at a higher level.
-
- I can know the best way to do a job. Â I have my goal in sight. Â I am doing my job based on my vision. Â I can see the finished product. I can see what belongs in the work and what does not belong in the finished product.
- I can use the correct tools. If I am fixing a leaky faucet, I need wrenches and screwdrivers. Â If I am building a deck, I need a hammer and a saw.
- I can work with the correct people. Â To build a website, I contact a website developer. Â To create images for my website, I contact a graphic designer.
- I can help people understand how to help me. Â The best way to help people know what to do is let them know the goal of the project. Â Then when they are doing their part, they can know how to make the piece they make fit into the project.
- I can set the correct priorities. Â If I am building a house, the first priority is to clear the land. Â The last priority is to hang the finished cabinets and fixtures.
- I know when to set the deadline. Â If my clients need my work to fit into their larger project, I can set my deadline to get my work to them before they need it. Â They are happier. Â I can work to get my money more quickly. Â If my client does not know exactly how my work will fit into the total project, I can set my deadline when I know exactly what they want me to do.
- I know who will benefit from the work and how to make the work fit the needs of those people.
- I drop things that make my workday longer. Â If my goal is to write a new article for my blog, I can exhaust myself wandering around the Internet. Â I keep my research efforts to books and websites that I need for my article.
- I can create a plan of action. Â Some work may take a day to complete. Â Some work may take weeks to pull together. Â Each piece adds service to my customers. I can never finish the total job. Â I plan to continue to add services. Â My plan of action is a series of plans that continue to expand my services. Â I know what I what I want to do. I create and adjust my plans of action to accomplish what I want to do.
- I see the meaning of my work. I have a sense of purpose.  I want to help people become successful.  My work is meaningful to me.  I want people to use the ideas and the services of my websites for their success.
- I find energy from knowing my goals. Â I enjoy my work. Â Knowing that I am trying to help people makes my work fun.
- I know at the end of my day where to step right into my job the next day. Â I wake up excited to start to work. Â I already know before I go to bed what I will do the first thing in the morning.
I set goals for the work I do. Â I know what I hope to accomplish. Â People who know the purpose of their work and fulfill that purpose put themselves on the list of people for promotion.
