Vintage Consulting utilizes S.M.A.R.T. Goals in their Planning

When you hear the word ‘Greatness’ who comes to mind?
Steve Jobs… Abraham Lincoln, Michael Jordan, etc

Harvard conducted a study from 1993 to 2007 on “Greatness” and found that people who have achieved high levels of success all had same the common denominator of diligence. They all had a great plan.

So, how do we become great?

SMART Goals:

What skills do you need to hit this goal?
Come up with action items to improve these skills.

S- Specific
M- Measurable
A- Attainable
R- Reachable
T- Time Frame

For example; If your general goal is to become a millionaire, how are you actually going to get there? What does being a millionaire mean to you? When do you want to be a millionaire? What is a realistic time frame or action item for you to get there?

Once you set SMART goals, your achievements should come with ease rather than constantly feeling like you are failing to climb that foreseeable mountain.

Great Leaders v. Average Leaders

Great Leaders v. Average Leaders
The secret to leadership is there are no secrets!


Leaders should be constantly bettering themselves in these 5 areas:

1. Find a Purpose – makes the transition from average to great easy!
2. Put People First – not everything is about you
3. Develop Awareness – especially of one’s own knowledge
4. Shun Complexity – less is more
5. Get Personal – understand the value of a quality relationship

A Leader without followers is just walking.

The Philosophy of Winning

Why do you like winning?

Gives you drive/motivation
Feels good/accomplishing
Shiny trophies/prizes
Recognition
Better than losing

Philosophy of winning:

The will to prepare to win = Putting the effort in that others won’t.

To be great at what you do, it’s a daily routine

Everyone most likely wants to be successful at one point or another, but we forget how much it takes the will to prepare to win.
