Big goals, big dreams and big visions are needed for big success. But, sometimes, our lofty goals can lead to our wheels spinning on how to physically reach them. How can you maintain progress towards your BHAGs (Big Hairy Audacious Goals) when they seem so out of reach? Instead of changing your goals to be easier, work on growing as a leader, as an organization, and as an individual to be the person you need to be to reach your dreams.
 

If you want something, you must grow into it.

 
Goals are not achieved overnight, and nothing is reached without some setbacks. Continue to nurture your growth mindset to fully believe that your capabilities can be developed through dedication and hard work. You can achieve what you’ve set your mind to if you have the grit, resilience and follow through. Let others at the top of their game inspire you, but don’t forget the work they did behind the scenes to get there. Set personal goals and professional goals that force you to push yourself, and with the right actions, you can achieve what you put your mind towards.
 

Growth means learning AND implementing.

 
You must become a student before you become a master. Whether you’re conquering a new skill, wanting to become a pro at a new sport, imagining scaling up your business, or dominating a new market, you must start as a beginner. You are not able to reach your goal today based on your current knowledge, and that’s OK. Who you are today is not the person you need to be to achieve your big outcome but acquiring the knowledge, getting the education or gaining the experience needed is the first step to living out your dream.
 
Too often, our knowledge outpaces our implementation. Your goals will get delayed if you “know” but you don’t “do.” Once you have a baseline understanding of what you need to do to reach your goals, get started! Remember that failure isn’t the end, it’s a part of the education you need to achieve your goal. Be open to criticism and feedback without letting your ego get in the way. Take what is positive and constructive and tune out the rest.
