New Achievements, New Habits – the Coach Barrow Spring Retreat begins..

It’s important to understand the difference between achievements and habits when you are goal-setting.

An achievement is a specific target, usually involving numbers and deadlines:

1. I will hit a sales target of X by Y date;

2. I will launch product/service X by Y date;

3. I will create X video testimonials by Y date.

A habit is a new way of living/working that you intend to embrace on a permanent basis:

1. I’m going to review and update my personal finances every Sunday morning;

2. I’m going to cut out the alcohol on school nights;

3. I’m going to start handing out my business referral cards to every patient.

All of us can benefit by establishing new achievement targets and habits on a quarterly basis.

Today I’ll be meeting with the owners of just 6 practices for a weekend retreat that will commence at lunchtime today and run through until noon on Sunday. I have 4 from the UK, 1 from Sweden and 1 from South Africa who have made the journey into central London.
