Host: What would be a simple but effective implementation strategy?
Gary Ryan Blair: An effective implementation strategy would look like this, you would phrase it out and you probably see over here this is what I call the anatomy of a goal where you see a triangle. There are three components to it. There is the “what”, there’s the “why”, and there’s a “how.
The “what” we had discussed already, that’s the goal. That needs to be written specific, measurable and time bound language. Now the system I’m going to share with you is actually called 1, 3, 5 goals.
What you should do is you should always identify 1- what. Very simple, one goal that fits the criteria that’s specific, it’s measurable and it’s time bound. An example would be, “I will weight 165 pounds and have 28 inch waist by June 15th, my birthday this year. That is stated.
Another way of looking at if you’re in sales profession is, “I will increase by 17% this year and the net benefit will be in my income and will be at $20,000 increase by the end of the calendar year.” Specific, measurable and time bound.
So, 1- what then we have 3- why’s. Identify three motivational reasons why so it’s not just because “I want to make more money, I want to provide food for my family”, but three compelling emotional reasons why that will sustain and drive you.
Then you need 5-hows. Five how’s are individual action steps. Now, each one of these action steps need to be written in specific measurable time bound language as well. So, you have to identify exactly what you’re going to so in order to achieve a goal.
So a quick review, 1-what, 3-why’s, 5-hows. So, it’s a 1, 3, 5 goal setting system is very effective implementation plan.
