Setting big goals can be exciting and motivating, but unfortunately we tend to get lost on the way to achieving them. On this episode, we talk about  BHAGs - Big Hairy Audacious Goals -  what they are and how to tackle them without stressing out.

Show Notes:

1. BHAG comes from the 1994 HarperBusiness book “Built to Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies” by Jim Collins and Jerry Porras and it’s an acronym for Big Hairy Audacious Goals
   
   
2. Here was the litmus test from the book to see if you’ve got a real BHAG:
   • Does it stimulate forward progress for you? 
   • Does it create momentum?
   • Does it get you going?
   • Does it get your juices flowing?
   • Do you find it stimulating, exciting, adventurous?
   • Are you willing to throw your creative talents and energies into it?
3. Break down your BHAGs into smaller milestones you can accomplish in a shorter time frame, such as 2-weeks. 
   
   
4. Once you have these milestones, do some rough estimating for how long each milestone will take so you can be sure you’ve set a realistic timeline on that BHAG.
   
   
5. Make sure you’ve got your list of milestones and tasks in a list that’s prioritized by most important and any related due dates
