Episode description

2020 is going to be an exciting and amazing year!

Before we set new goals think about your current role and reflect on:

How do you feel on Sunday nights?
How do you feel about the work you do everyday?
How do you feel about the team you work with?
How do you feel about your leader?
How do you feel about the organization you work for?

Feel free to make that pros / cons list :)

Now let's think about what you would change / improve:

Sunday nights
Work you do everyday
Team
Leader / manager / boss
Organization

Let's dream now. Perfect world scenario, you have everything you want, no limitations, truly perfect scenario, what would your career look like:

Sunday nights
Work you do everyday
Team
Leader / manager / boss
Organization

Super nerds! Grab an excel or flip chart. Put your answers together. Maybe put some categories to it.

Current facts / info
Feelings
Change / improve
Pros
Cons
Perfect world scenario
Etc.

Laying it all out, you can see the various buckets / areas. This also allows you to see the full picture and identify goals. And also the gaps. The gaps can help identify what your goals could be.

Make sure your goals are SMART

S - Specific

M - Measurable

A - Attainable / Achievable

R - Relevant

T - Time based

Now reverse engineer your goals. Work them backwards and map out each step!
