Achieving A Significant Objective

I have read a number of books that report on the research which has been done in the study of talent development. One of the truths that has stood out for me is this: If we are striving for an objective of some type, there is an unavoidable process of work/practice/training involved in reaching the outcome we desire.

The most effective achievers focus on and commit to this process. They understand it is the process of work/practice/training which ultimately leads to the outcome.

If the objective is something significant—and that’s the nature of what I’m writing about here—then this process of work/practice/training will be long and difficult. (With a very strong emphasis on the words “long” and “difficult.”)

So, it is just as important—if not more important—to set goals regarding the process as it is to set goals regarding the objective.

Do you have a significant objective you are pursuing? Ask yourself: What is the process? And, realistically, am I willing to tirelessly and relentlessly commit to the process?
