REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD SET CAREER GOALS


Career goals are specific outlined objectives that a person wishes to reach during the course of his or her employment.


They can be short-term or long-term.


FOR EXAMPLE An entry-level employee may set a goal to receive a promotion within one year. He or she may set a long-term goal to relocate and open a store.


The following are five reasons that an employee should set career goals:


1

CREATES A VISION


The act of setting a goal creates a vision that a person can see clearly.


Once the person creates a vision, that person can then envision the vision’s events occurring.


Visions, dreams and aspirations are accomplishments that an ambitious employee hopes to achieve in the future.


“

Goal setting establishes a clear expectation of an end result.


2

MOTIVATES PEOPLE


Setting a goal creates excitement, and excitement breeds motivation.


Excitement causes a reaction in the brain’s chemicals that gets the blood pumping and the juices flowing.


A person is likely to put strong efforts into a project after setting attainable objectives.


3

ESTABLISHES PRIORITIES


This process forces the person to establish priorities.


It includes an outline of the necessary steps that the person has to take to get to the end result.


FOR EXAMPLE An entry level salesperson’s goals may include: Taking classes to become more efficient in the position. Winning awards. Applying for a job promotion.


4

ENCOURAGES CREATIVITY


Having an established timeline for obtaining results will start a chain of creativity and a burst of strategy-building actions.


It is a positive process that enlightens the person who sets the main goal.


5

CREATES A DISTINCT PATH


It provides a person with a clear path to success.


Hard work comes naturally when an individual can see a successful outcome.
