Thank you for joining me on
this week’s blog and today I am going to talk about a way that you can
“Strategy Plan” you progress by using a technique called reverse goal thinking.
Now whilst this may appear
counter – productive I can assure you that having tried the method for myself
it has helped me to determine several of the new goals that I now have going
forward into 2020.
So in order to begin you need to start at
the end!
Make a list of the things
that you want to achieve – these can be states of being, things you want to
have and so on.
Next you need to ask
yourself
“What has to happen for me to achieve
these things?”
Now write down ALL of your
answers on a piece of paper or in a notebook, it is important that you note everything
down including the ridiculous, the odd, the crazy, the far-fetched. No matter how bizarre or odd they may seem
all of these thoughts are useful
So having done that you can
move to selecting the relevant processes you would need to take to actually
achieve your goal you can create a “Reverse Flow Chart” for making a cup of tea
would probably look like this:-
The Reverse Flow Chart
A Finished Cup of Tea
Add milk (if required)
Add sugar (if required)
Pour tea into cup
Select teacup from cupboard
Allow Tea to stand (brew)
Pour boiling water from kettle into
teapot
Switch off kettle
Place teabag into teapot
Wait for water in the kettle to boil
Turn on power to kettle
Connect kettle to power source
Place lid on kettle
Put water into kettle
Get kettle
Decide to make a cup of tea
By using this illustration
you can see all of the processes that you need to follow to achieve that goal
of a cup of tea.
It is far more effective
than simply setting a goal and then not having a clue about how you are going
to achieve the result you seek.
If you have no idea of how
to get to your goal you will probably end up heading down a “Blind Alley” on
more than one occasion.
In Conclusion
I know that the above is a
very simple example but within it are contained all of the necessary steps that
you would need to take to achieve your goal of a cup of tea.
So if you follow this method
you set yourself up for success and you have created the “road map” for reaching
your desired outcome. This “road map” is
your strategy and once you have your strategy in place you will be able to
replicate the same result each and every time.
So to coin a phrase from the
wonderful Tony Robbins the most important things you need to do to achieve your
goal are:-
“KNOW YOUR OUTCOME” and then
“PLAN YOUR STRATEGY”
