An Acheivable World

Are you the kind of person that uses a process as you go about the achievement of a goal or objective ? I am.

I didn't always think that I was but I've discovered in recent years that it actually truly helps me I've found that I am someone that benefits tremendously from understanding the next steps to take and the component parts of the overall task I had wanted to do this, but - I wasn't always this way.

For a long time I thought it'd necessarily stifle creative thought or that it didn't allow me to explore or try new approaches. But whether it's exercise or helping a company do things in a more intelligent manner, I discovered that following a defined methodology or a defined process makes a big difference. I can clearly celebrate the achievement of certain goals and at the same time I can understand the bigger picture or the context of where I am in the scope of the overall task .

Perhaps it requires a logical way of thinking about things or perhaps it works for someone who just really need to have structure. Regardless, having a process or methodology helps place an understanding of what is needed into an understanding of what ever it is that we are doing.

Are you a process person ? Are you someone who benefits from doing things according to a checklist or someone who needs the surety of understanding what's been done and what hasn't..?

Maybe you don't need it - there's lots of different ways you can approach a task or deliverable and whatever way that works for you - I wish you well.

Here is a suggestion though - if you have never tried it, my suggestion is that it's worth that effort as you may discover that there's an achievable world out there that allows you to imagine both the goal and the pathway to the accomplishment of things that you do, that seems quite impossible right now. Whether it's losing those pesky 15 pounds or hitting your sales target or redecorating a bathroom, careful thought to define the steps (the process) saves tremendous stress and possible rework. It also means that if you're not successful, you know where things fell off the rails and can attend to that, rather than give up on the goal all-together.
