Ep. 9: S.U.M.M.I.T. Outcomes for Business Planning

In this episode, Mark Gundlach discusses the elements of S.M.A.R.T. Goals and see how they fit into the S.U.M.M.I.T. Outcomes very well. There is definitely more room for thinking bigger and focusing more on the desired outcome so you can break down your plan to the individual necessary goals. Here is how the S.U.M.M.I.T. Outcomes break down: S: Specific. Have a very detailed, laser-focussed outcome in mind. U: Unreasonable. This is the area to think big. Being unreasonable allows you to throw away the “playing small” aspect of S.M.A.R.T. Goals and start to push yourself outside of the comfort zone you have kept yourself in. M: Measurable. As stated above, be sure to track and measure along the way so you can assure that you are on the path to your outcome. M: Meaningful. Attach a reason why to your outcome. When there is a tangible meaning behind your desired result, you are more likely to stay the course and achieve your outcome. I: Intentional. I often ask my clients, “what is your intention of that action?” When you set an intention for each step in the process, you can create a more actionable plan. T: Time Sensitive. Also as previously stated...by when do you want to achieve that outcome? Create your new S.U.M.M.I.T. Outcomes for yourself. See what happens when you become unreasonable, intentional and have a meaningful end result in mind. I bet you will see a vast difference.
