Goals – Power of Clarity and Simplicity Get crystal clear on what you really want and why -- name it and claim it! Only establish goals and action plans for important wants – don’t major in minor things Set priorities among competing demands – use discrimination Stop wasting time and energy on low-priority, low-value activities – remove clutter and distractions – use discipline Concentrate focus, energy and efforts on high-priority, high-value activities – those that move you closer to your vision Bottom line, with clarity of focus, you can do less and achieve more. You are tackling the right things -- effectiveness. Vision/Goals 12 Quarter One Copyright © by GC Franchising Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved
