Performance goals are the key to creating the path that you are looking for in order to hit your goals.  Performance goals create the behavior or the path that you need to hit your goals, while outcome goals are the goal that you are trying to get to.  You need to know your performance goals in order to get to the outcome goals that you set for yourself.

If you have been around here lately, you know we have been in a series on goal setting. First, we covered vision boards; how to make them and why they are so important. Secondly, we talked about the “why”, the motivation behind your goals. Then last time, I gave you 3 guiding principles for how to set quarterly goals from your larger goals.

I hear from many people that they can see their big, overarching goals, but they can’t see the path in front of them that will take them there. That big goal is your outcome goal. The steps that get you to that outcome goal are your performance goals. That’s what we’re talking about today.
