January.
It’s the month when something ugly stirs in many businesses.
That thing is…Targets.
You may be carrying one or more around your neck right now.
Targets to be achieved by the end of 2024, the first quarter or year-end, whenever that happens to be.
Depending on the target and progress to date, you may find yourself under pressure.
There can be a lot riding on success or failure.
Like bonuses for you, your boss or members of your team.
As long as you are not at the target deadline, here are two things that can help relieve pressure and aid achievement.
1) Focus on stages
2) Focus on processes
Stages are easy to grasp.
They are milestones, the stages you need to achieve to keep on track to the podium.
When you know what the stages are, forget about them and focus on processes.
Processes are the nitty gritty of achievement.
They are the steps you climb to reach each stage.
Collectively, they get you to the goal.
When you focus on the process, you think and worry less about the target and the pressure bosses and Financial Directors create.
And you have the answers, nay reassurance they’re looking for, when discussing results to date and forecasts.
Saying these things is easy, but doing them is harder.
If you have a target to hit, there’s a strong chance we can help you close a gap in your figures (time permitting).
