Living on the other side of the finish line
Written by admin on September 4th, 2009Andrew Reid, Big Fish Interactive
Most people I meet who are focused on goals place their thoughts and
energy on what needs to happen leading up to their goal. They name the goal
(the finish line) and then either build a detailed step by step strategy of
how to get there, or set a less defined plan of some of the new behaviours
they will need to do for a successful outcome. Makes sense and pretty
straight forward; identify a goal and build a plan.
But what happens when the new goal is so different (and fun and audacious) that they can’t
recognize their life having achieved their new dream? Consciously, a
wonderful new goal or dream is all positive and hopeful but sub-consciously,
it may not resonate. Strategy is overrated if the new experience on the
other side of finish line has not been clearly identified.
On September 19, I’ll speak about personal and professional results using
NLP techniques to apply hope and conviction in experiencing goals such as
working at a Scottish castle, taking on the world in international sports,
influencing company-wide change, and living in possibilities on the other
side of the finish line.
