Listen "Goals and Planning for 2021"
Episode Synopsis
Nobody could have predicted what would happen to the world in 2020 and nobody can predict what is yet to come. Join Neil today as he discusses why it is vital to have goals which can guide you on the path to your future self, why you should plan across multiple scenarios in the next year and why having any plan is better than having no plan at all.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
As always at this time of year, it is a good time to sit down and take a look at making goals and planning for the next year. It is vital to have goals as they are the steering points towards which we’re heading. The processes of these goals are going to get you there and the goals will determine the process.
Ask yourself what do you want to be doing in ten or fifteen years? Where do you want to be? How do you want to live your life? With whom do you want to be? And What legacy do you want to build? Look back from there to today and try and figure out from that distant point, what happens before then?
In 2021 things will be a little bit different. We should be planning across multiple scenarios, we cannot guess how things are going to go down in 2021. We may face another lockdown, different tiers of control or increased/decreased unknown restrictions. It is prudent to think of the economic fallout of the last year and how that will affect your ability to achieve your goals.
Make yourself a plan A, but also have a plan B, C, D etc. These plans do not have to be perfect but any plan is better than no plan. Hopefully, things will change for the better for everybody’s sake. Hope for the best, but plan for the worst. Don’t stop doing what you love and plan to keep going forward and doing that.
BEST MOMENTS
“Let’s get on and set some master goals for ourselves.”
“You have to ask yourself what happens the year before you made a million pounds”
“I’ll still be teaching until they throw dirt on my head.”
