Goal setting that makes your toes curl?
Are those toes a bit too cosy?
At the Ladies at 11 2011 conference I suggested that everyone in the room should set a goal that ‘made their toes curl’. Since that fabulous September day it’s been remarkable how many people have referred to that statement. It clearly struck a chord with many. The more I think about it I guess it’s quite visual. Also, if you concentrate for a moment you can probably create the feeling easily.
Regardless of your favoured goal setting theory, smart goals, realistic goals, action goals. How about getting started by identifying one thing you need to do but just thinking about it makes those little digits on the ends of your feet scrunch up in fear or avoidance?
- Is it making a phone call, maybe to a potential new client or prospect?
- Is it dealing with a fear about technology?
- Is it talking to a partner about a communication issue that is bothering you?
- Is it speaking to your bank or a financial advisor about a money worry?
- Is it addressing a work issue that’s got out of hand?
- Is it facing your time management issues?
Whatever it is, give it a go, by getting started and taking action you’ll create momentum, you’ll feel better about it. Test those toes!

After our conversation this afternoon Sue I am definitely testing my toes! Thanks for pushing me … onwards & upwards we fly :0)
I was in that room when you put that question forward and what it did for me was that I did what I should have done months earlier. I decided to work with a business coach that very morning. I also decided it was going to be you. And I am making progress in my business, finding a nich by being focussed. I made my toes curl, now my mouth is continuously curling in a smile. Great stuff!
Thanks Mariette, you’re doing great. So glad you made that decision. It’s lovely working with you and seeing that focus and progress develop. Keep up the great work!
He he, onwards and upwards indeed. You’ve got so much to offer Lindsey! The sky is the limit!
