Most Sales People have goals, whether they are put in writing or not. But how many of us know what our purpose is, or even ashed ourselves what our purpose is. You might ask what is the difference, aren't goals and purpose the same? I would say they are not.
We can have a purpose in life or in business without any particular goals attached to that purpose. But I do not think that we can have goals with out a purpose, and if we do, then that might be the reason why we fail to meet our goals.
Purpose in my opinion is dependent on:
- Knowledge
- Attitude
- Sense of Worth
Goals in my opinion are more:
- Vision Driven
- Ability to stay on task
- Accomplishment
Purpose asks why am I here, and what do I want to accomplish, while goals are results orientated, setting strategies to accomplishing what we desire.
As we are now more than half way through the year, and you maybe looking back at the goals that you set at the beginning of the year, and wondering why you are not meeting them. Then maybe you need to step back and evaluate whether your goals are in line with your purpose. If they are not, then the odds are that you will not meet them, because meeting them will most likely not accomplish what you really desire.
I don't know how many of you have ever considered your purpose? If you haven't before, I hope this blog causes you to do that, and to examine whether your goals will achieve your purpose.
