BHAG Reflection
Our goals should stretch us, but must also be in touch with reality.
We also must be careful that pursuing a Big Hairy Audacious Goal (BHAG) doesn’t throw other key aspects of our life out of balance.
I’ve been in the business world for four decades and watched many business leaders get so obsessed with achieving a BHAG they lose key employees, family, and friends along the way.
My point is this–maybe you have a 2023 BHAG of getting out of debt. What you don’t want to do is make the attainment of this goal so aggressive that your family can’t eat. I know that’s an extreme example, but hopefully, you get my point.
Sure, there must be some pain involved when making a change. Still, we can keep the pain in moderation and maintain our key personal priorities and responsibilities as we achieve our goals.
While preparing to put your BHAG in motion on January 1, 2023, answer these questions:
- What is important to me?
- What are my priorities?
- What will I NOT lose while chasing my BHAG?
- What is the timeline for achieving my BHAG?
- Is the timeline set to stretch me but not break me and those around me?
Psalm 20:4, “May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.”
