BIG HUGE AUDACIOUS GOAL
The first thing you’re going to ask me is, “What on Earth is a Big Huge Audacious Goal?!”
As the name implies, it is a personal goal which big, huge, bold and ambitious goal. It relies on you having a complete lack of respect for typical boundaries, breaking down walls and thinking outside your ‘box’.
So, with this newfound lack of boundaries and societal pressure, what is your Big, Huge, Audacious Goal?
Where do you see yourself in a year, 5 years, 10 years’ time?
Would you like to have been promoted?
Possibly have your own business?
Do you hope that business you already own branches out into a new sector?
Do you want to write a screenplay or a movie script?
The world really is your oyster when it comes to this exercise. Forget can’s and can’ts and focus heavily on yourself and your dreams however “unrealistic” you may have painted them.
After you have written your Big, Huge, Audacious Goal, the next step is to write out your description of what this actually looks like.
For example; if you BHAG was to write your own screenplay, your description could be that you would like to have half completed in a year and the other half completed the year after. Once that is completed, you plan to send that screenplay to 5 companies to read and see if they like it (and you continue on from there)
Describe EVERYTHING. Make this image as vivid and as real as possible.
The last thing on the BHAG list is 3 questions.
1. Specifics – how would you need to behave to get you there? (i.e. do things for the outcome, not the money)
2. How could you make this possible? Be real and specific, how can you make this a reality?
3. What is the next step? – What is the first step you could take to making your goal happen?
Doing all of these will help you begin to create your Big, Huge, Audacious Goal in real life and if you find you require any support with anything mentioned in this post, please contact one of the brilliant members of the Make Me A Plan team who can help you on your quest.
