default, the best goal—is big and specific: big, because you’re
after extraordinary results; specific, to give you something to
aim at and to leave no wiggle room about whether you hit the
mark. A big and specific question, especially in the form of the
Focusing Question, helps you zero in on the best possible
answer.
2 . Think possibilities. Setting a doable goal is almost like creating
a task to check off your list. A stretch goal is more challenging.
It aims you at the edge of your current abilities; you have to
stretch to reach it. The best goal explores what’s possible. When
you see people and businesses that have undergone
transformations, this is where they live.
3 . Benchmark and trend for the best answer. No one has a crystal
ball, but with practice you can become surprisingly good at
anticipating where things are heading. The people and businesses
who get there first often enjoy the lion’s share of the rewards
with few, if any, competitors. Benchmark and trend to find the
extraordinary answer you need for extraordinary results.
