Different Approach for the new year.

Allen’s Hummingbird, Male – A Small Bird Who Sets Small Goals

Let’s try a different approach this year.

Most success programs recommend setting Big, Audacious, Humongous goals.

That feels good for a few seconds.

Then reality arrives. And now you’re stuck wondering what to do.

So let’s try a different approach.

Set small, ordinary, unimpressive goals.

Here are three examples.

✅ Goal #1: Write One Word.

Most likely that word will lead to another word and then another word and soon a complete sentence.

That sentence will beg for a word, which starts the next sentence. And so on, until (like magic) you will have a draft.

Now you are on your way to writing an important e-mail, or even a novel.

✅ Goal #2: Dial One Number.

Most likely that will lead to dialing the entire number. And now you’re on your way to having a conversation.

Conversations matter. They lead to solutions, build relationships, and make progress.

✅ Goal #3: Take One Step.

Most likely this will cause you to take another step. And then another step. And soon, you will be halfway home.

Going for a walk is an easy way to spend time in nature. And the exercise keeps you healthy.

By the way, I used the Different Approach to write this blog.

But I set an ambitious small goal. I wrote two words.

That led to a draft, which led to the article you’re reading.

So as this year unfolds, I encourage you to set really small, dull goals.

Be creative in finding ways to push the limits of smallness.

And then be astonished by what you achieve.

Of course, you can create an ambitious vision, a powerful mission, and incredible intentions.

These are the foundations for purpose and inspiration.

And then, achieving these happens one word, one click, one step at a time.

Much success,

Steve Kaye
