Choosing our sacrifices wisely
Part of going after a meaningful goal is the things I am willing to give up in order to prioritise my goal. In the course of my career, I have had the privilege to have taught and worked with many successful people who have had to make certain sacrifices to get where they want to go. The effort becomes part of the reward if we have chosen what we will pursue wisely.
It can be very challenging to fix your time, effort and resources on achieving something and when you get there, it doesn’t provide you with the personal payoff or payoffs you thought. I have personally achieved a number of things in my life that didn't actually provide for me all that I thought they would or the joy of achievement was short-lived.
Time is of the essence and when goal setting we need to examine the drivers behind the goal.
What will I choose to let go of in order to prioritise the selected goal and what structures need to be in place to achieve the goal?
This episode explores some of these questions so that we can use the precious time we have available as effectively as possible.
