Raise The Bar

Raise The Bar

To Raise The Bar has also been quite a contentious topic to cover.  Moreover, for many of us, taking a LEAP seems paralyzing.  We do all have private interests and goals BUT they feel a bit bigger than our britches.  After all, WHO are we to DREAM BIG?  It is this line of thinking that keeps us SMALL and keeps us far from reaching our goals.  So, HOW do we go about this?  Let's STOP ignoring the nagging feeling that you should be doing something else📗📙📘

WHAT else can we do?  Can we be bold enough to RAISE THE BAR for yourself and pursue your BIGGER and HIGHER goal?  True, WHEN setting clear GOALS and OBJECTIVES, many of us struggle to improve their circumstances because they DON'T set clear GOALS or objectives.  So, HOW can you expect to move forward WHEN you DON'T know WHERE you're going, in the first place?  Having a target to set your sights on makes aiming a heck of a lot easier✅✅✅

A quick sampling of RAISING THE BAR:

• Starting next month, I'll increase my monthly savings from 2% to 5% of my salary
• I will reduce my travel time from home to office from 2 hours to 1 hour by leaving home 6am
• We will reduce our payables from 30% to 20% of my monthly salary effective next month

Our takeaway?  It DOESN'T matter WHAT your goal is.  Make it CRYSTAL CLEAR enough so you can pursue it with certainty.  Imagine chasing for goals that are vague and ambiguous, LIKE I want to be more successful.  LIKE I want to be a better person.  LIKE I want to be much happier.  Let's go back to SMART GOALS, e.g. SPECIFIC, MEASURABLE, ACHIEVABLE, REALISTIC and TIME-BOUND💧💧💧

Just for a quick share.  In my workplace, RAISING THE BAR is my default best practice.  We could have a 2% SLA for defects and errors but even if we achieve below 2%, for us, that is NOT good enough because it still reflects defects and errors.  In a nutshell, it makes sense that RAISING THE BAR is embedded in one's life because very likely, in any endeavor you will pursue, RAISING THE BAR is a must💥💥💥
