Do you scale your goals?! Many people don't but i

Do you scale your goals?!

Many people don't but it is honestly such a great strategy for sustained goal-attainment.

There's a tendency to have a pass/fail approach to goal-striving:

💭 I called the five people I wanted to so I achieved the goal.

vs..

💭 I only called four so I'm a total failure and I might as well give up on this stupid idea altogether! What a loser I am!!

The approach is so unhelpful and derails so many great goals, before they've even had a proper chance to become something amazing!

I reckon it is far more helpful and effective to use a Goal Attainment Scale - where, before you even start, you recognise different levels of possible goal attainment.

A simple example:

💭 Best expected outcome: called 5 people
💭 More than expected outcome: called 4 people
💭 Expected outcome: called 3 people
💭 Less than expected outcome: called 1 or 2 people
💭 Worst expected outcome: called no-one

This way you see that you're achieving and that there's room to improve. You sustain interest in your goal and belief in your ability to effect change. So you stay motivated to continue striving!

Next time you're working towards something big, what not try a Goal Attainment Scale? I'd love to hear how it goes!
