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?

A Time For Action And A Time For Rest

There is a time for action, being productive and getting things done. These achievements are important. But there is also a time for rest. In fact without the appropriate times of rest the productivity tends to plateau, we lose effectiveness, and fewer things actually get done.

Hard Work and Achievement

Hard work is important to the achievement of worthwhile objectives.  Some people wish this wasn’t true and they try to find ways around it, but it remains true whether we like it or not. “The vision of a champion is someone who is bent over, drenched in sweat, at the point of exhaustion, when no one else is watching.” Soccer Coach, Anson Dorrance
