Happy New Year!
Quips are already swirling regarding Barbara Walters' weekly quote "...this is 2020", the weekly television news series many of us grew up with which is still in production today.
I believe the "2020" title is in reference to the analogy of perfect vision, not the calendar year.
But here we are, 1/1/20 & there seems to be an energy fueling the start of this year.
Akin to 2000...Y2K...something "different".
So what does 20/20 vision mean?
According to The American Optometric Association, 20/20 vision refers to someone's visual acuity-the clarity of sharpness of vision measured at a distance of 20 feet. 20/20 vision is a point of reference, not the definition of perfection. For example, if one's vision is determined to be 20/30, that means she can see at 20 feet what others can see at 30 feet.
What is your point of reference for 2020?
Are you comparing your professional goals to what you feel you can reasonably achieve? Or to what you feel is expected of you? Or to what you see happening around you?
Outlining one's goals in a concrete manner can be and should be the starting point to professional success.
The simple act of defining one's goals and writing them down will organically catapult you to "what's next".
So in these early days of 2020, I encourage you to step back from the chaos of life and write down some simple, actionable professional goals.
Clarity.
Sharpness.
Vision.
2020...
