An Alternative to Goal Setting, Just in Time for 2012

Ready for this month's myGreenlight master's mission? This is
your chance to identify the fundamental "needle movers" that will create success in 2012. -KF Does the idea of setting goals instantly paralyze
you? Have you found goal-setting to be an ineffective way to create real change
in your life? On a recent Social Capitalist call, the author, CEO, venture
capitalist, and coach Christine Comaford gave myGreenlighters the following mission
to improve their 2012 planning: Identify needle movers, rather than
goals, for 2012. Needle movers are actions that will truly move the
needle forward in your business or personal life – essentially goals that change
your life fundamentally. While a goal is binary and can leave you feeling great
or defeated, a needle mover ends with you either reaching your target (what you
want), the minimum (what you are willing to accept), or a mind blowing result
(beyond your wildest dreams!). You won’t always get the exact result you want
but you will have moved the needle forward. To complete Christine’s
mission, write down the three things that would change everything for you in
your business life and your personal life. Three in each category. For
example, Christine said that one of her 2012 needle movers will be to take at
least seven personal retreats to do yoga and explore nature throughout the year.
Getting centered allows her to be of better service to her network and to be
overall more productive, healthy, and happy. What are your 2012 needle
movers? Please share – your ideas may inspire someone else!
