Strategic Goals Revisited

The Hallowe’en gools are around the corner and third quarter is history. And then there’s this thing called the global economy and those volatility indicators.

You can’t stop the Hallowe’en loot or make time stand still. November 1 will arrive this Saturday whether or not you have been tracking progess on your strategic goals this year. Nor do you have much control over the global economic factors which will play out for better or for worse.

But you do have control over tracking your progress on your business or personal goals. The good news is that if you haven’t started yet, you still have eight weeks to get your tracking systems in place. That bad news is that without concrete information about your progress in 2008, it will be pretty hard to set realistic goals for 2009.

Where are you at?
