« Where I Graduated from College | Main | Business ToolKit »

If you're doing what you're doing, you'll get what you're getting!
I was at a real estate meeting the other week and one of the commercial property developers who does a lot of work in my neighborhood stood up and said "As my daddy used to tell me, if we're doing what we've been doing, we're gonna get what we've been getting." Her point was that, especially in our neighborhood, the old model and zoning restrictions are not going to help us in moving into the future and bulding a more vibrant, accessible, and propserous neighborhood.

100-6406.jpgWhere we're at now is a result of our past actions, choices, ideas, and support: and where we are going is determined by our current actions, choices, ideas, and support. We are the bridge between our past and our future.

Some questions to ponder:

+ How do you define success?

+ How do you measure success?

+ Which  tools, resources, staff, programs, strategies do you put into place to achieve your outcomes?

+ Where will you be in 12 months?
two years?
5 years?
10 years?
20 years?

+ Which benchmarks do you use? For the timeline, when will you achieve those benchmarks?

+ Evaluate constantly! Change and grow based on your findings.

Evaluation and regular "checking in" has been a key to my own ability to understand and change towards a positive direction. I've found that periodic checking in is useful to fine-tune and adjust overall plans and goals so that they're SMART: specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely.

So, in a nugget:

Develop your Dream. Set a Goal. Put in structure to achieve. Measure and fine-tune along the way. Enjoy your Success.

(and start over!)
