Insight #3 for Effective Goal Setting

Today we are talking about insight #3 for goal setting, which is to Build in a Margin for Error. Third, you need a margin for error. If you’re a free thinker, having clear, specific goals laid out may feel like painting yourself into a corner. But look at it this way: no matter the goal, you’ll likely run into some obstacles you weren’t expecting. As a business owner, you’re navigating economic, cultural, personal, and even perhaps political landscapes that could impact your business in ways you couldn’t anticipate.  This is why leaving a margin of error is so critical. When done expertly, goal setting leaves room for the unexpected. Instead of feeling blocked in, try to see that wiggle room as a pressure valve, similar to a “rainy day” fund. Allowing a margin for error means there’s room for exploration and spontaneity. Tune in tomorrow for insight #4 as it relates to goal setting. Do you find yourself constantly procrastinating, even though you know you have important tasks to complete?
