Now is the ideal moment to consider what your company can accomplish in the upcoming year. A lot of people make resolutions at the beginning of the year, but this year, we're pushing you to do more. The starting point of all achievements is desire. This year, set lofty goals and objectives for your company and see how the seemingly unattainable becomes attainable.
The secret is that being cautious does not lead to success. It results from having such great dreams that they push you to think outside the box, take risks, and develop in ways you never would have imagined.
To begin, follow these steps:
Aim higher than ever this year to realize your full potential and turn your goals into becoming a reality! Put it all out there! Establishing challenging and motivating goals is ideal when we begin a new year. Let's discuss how to set ambitious yet deemed almost unachievable goals. Why? For when you accomplish a larger goal, the prize is greater.
1. Establish a goal that seems overwhelming.
Imagine a goal so enormous that it seems nearly absurd to state aloud. For instance, rather than stating, "This year, I want to grow my business by 20%," what if your goal was to double your revenue or enter five new markets? Although these objectives may sound absurd, they are the kind of benchmarks that force you to work more and think more critically.
Consider Elon Musk as an example. He set out to transform the auto industry and hasten the global shift to sustainable energy when he founded Tesla, not only to sell electric vehicles. Tesla would probably still be having trouble making an impression if they had aimed for a "safe" market share. Rather, they are currently at the forefront of their sector.
Consider a goal that seems nearly impossible to achieve. similar to scaling the tallest peak or introducing a game-changing product. These objectives encourage you to develop, be creative, and think beyond the box. How exciting does that sound!
2. Consider the Final State
You should aim for more than just what you can accomplish this year. Rather, visualise the ultimate goal: In five, ten, or even twenty years, where do you envision your company?
Consider Amazon. The first thing Jeff Bezos said was, "I want to sell books online." His ultimate objective was to create the biggest internet store in the world, where everything could be purchased. His expansive vision served as a road map for all of Amazon's decisions, from expanding its product offerings to creating Prime memberships and logistics.
"I want to be the go-to brand in my industry worldwide" or "I want my product to change how people live" are examples of end-state goals. These are the kinds of objectives that motivate audacious behaviour.
Aim for something spectacular rather than a modest, steady rise of 20% annually. Consider a tech company that aspires to become the next Apple. You can clearly see where you want to be with this type of objective.
3. Make It Nearly Unfeasible
You are forced to think creatively when your ambitions appear unattainable. All of a sudden, you can no longer depend on the same tactics you previously employed. Rather, you will be encouraged to develop, try new things, and invent.
Consider Airbnb. When the founders first began, encouraging homeowners to rent out their houses to strangers looked like an insurmountable task. At the time, it sounded absurd. However, by experimenting with customer input, enhancing host-guest trust, and developing a smooth platform, they established a multinational company that revolutionised travel.
You are forced to think creatively when your ambitions appear unattainable. All of a sudden, you can no longer depend on the same tactics you previously employed. Rather, you will be encouraged to develop, try new things, and invent.
You are forced to use your creativity when your aim appears unattainable. Do you recall the origins of Airbnb? They made the simple concept of renting air mattresses a worldwide sensation. This is where real development takes place.
4. Welcome to Experiments
Bold actions are necessary to achieve big goals. You will need to experiment with new tactics, tools, and ways of thinking if you want to accomplish the impossible.
Failure is a necessary component of growth, although some trials will not succeed - you get closer to finding what works with each try!
Think about the Dyson story. Over the course of 15 years, James Dyson constructed 5,126 prototypes before developing the best-selling bagless vacuum cleaner in the world. He learned something new from each failed attempt, which ultimately resulted in the ground-breaking product we use today.
Failure is a sign that you're pushing yourself, so don't be afraid of it.
Don't be scared to push the envelope. The secret to finding new avenues and realising your potential is experimentation. Think about how Tesla consistently pushes the boundaries of innovation and technology. They redefine what's possible through experimentation.
