- These are my personal goals for the next 3 and 12 months.
- Business goals for the quarter are in this post.
- I’ll measure performance and document lessons learned at the end of the quarter.
Why do I set goals?
- I’ve learned I accomplish my biggest achievements after I find purpose and create a plan. As a general rule, these plans have evolved and become more specific over time.
- Furthermore, the Johnson O’Connor organization helped me see I will tend be more successful when big goals and big results are involved.
