In case you missed Day 1 challenge, here is the link


Today is the day 2 of the Goal setting Challenge and we will be looking at ...


BENCHMARKS



If you want to travel abroad, what are the four key things you will need to do?

Get a passport
Buy ticket
Get to the airport on the book date and
Get into the aircraft at the appointed time


What are the four key actions you need to take if you want to cook soup?

Know the soup you want to cook
List the ingredients
Go to the market to buy them
Proceed with your cooking



As is it for your cooking and travelling abroad, so it is for your goal. There are junctions or small actions that you need to be (or achieve) before you can achieve the big goal. This is what is called BENCHMARKS.


Benchmarks are specific smaller goals that you need to take a specific period of time to achieve the main goal.


Using the above example, the main goal is travelling abroad. Right? Now, getting a passport, buying a ticket, getting to the airport and entering the airplane are the benchmarks. There are smaller goals you must achieve before you achieve the main goal.


So, you need to identify four small goals you need to achieve that will lead you to achieve the main goal. Say, getting married is your goal. The four benchmarks could be, one, getting a spouse that you love and loves you, two, getting to know his or her parents, three, he/she knows your parents too, and then lastly, getting engaged. All these four small goals (benchmarks) will lead to the main goal which is getting married.
