Having a 'Goal Buddy' to support you in achieving your dreams, encourage you when times get tough and help you find new inspiration, is a fantastic way to keep yourself motivated and focused on your goals.
But what sort of person makes a great Goal Buddy?
1 - Someone who believes in you. We often look to share our goals with those close to us, but sometimes this can be a mistake. The people who love us don't always believe in us and they also have a strong incentive to protect us and often that protection comes in the form of dire warnings about not taking risks or stepping outside your or their comfort zones. They mean well but often they will hold you back.
A great Goal Buddy is someone who sees something in [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] you that confirms your own belief and they don't necessarily have to know you well to feel that. One of my best goal buddies has only known me 3 months, lives a long way away and we only communicate by e-mail or occasionally phone.
2 - Someone who can listen well. The purpose of being a Goal Buddy is to be a sounding board for ideas and questions that arise for you in the course of working towards your plans. As the old saying goes, they have two ears and one mouth and they should be used in that proportion.
A good Goal Buddy will listen carefully, offer opinions and ideas when prompted, but sometimes will simply be prepared to be a sponge, [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] soaking up your frustration and difficulty [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] without comment and especially without judgement.
3 - Someone who can see things clearly. Often the reason someone close to you does not [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] make the best Goal Buddy is because they are not detached [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] from your outcome. If you are starting a business, for example, their home and future lifestyle may be on the line just as much as yours and their fears may get in the way of clarity.
The ideal Goal Buddy has total detachment, apart from their desire for you to succeed, they will not be materially affected by your achievements and this allows [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] them a much clearer perspective and [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] the ability to see things that you can't.
4 - Someone who is good at solving problems. No matter how cleaver and creative you are, you will not be able to do everything on your own. A well [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] chosen Goal Buddy will be skilled at [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] coming up with possible solutions for the obstacles that you encounter along the way.
They do not [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] need to be rocket scientists or math graduates, but an ability to reframe [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] problems, look at issues from multiple angles and simply bring an alternative perspective will be invaluable.
5 - [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] Someone with a good network. If between you and your Goal Buddy, you are still unable to come up with the answer to a problem, then the ideal candidate will have a strong network of friends and colleagues who can offer extra skills and access to capabilities that you may never have found on your own.
The most inspiring words you will ever hear from your Goal Buddy may well be - Let's call John, he knows all about that.
So if you are looking to identify someone to support you on the road to your goals, before you pick up the phone, measure them against this 5 point checklist and see if they are cut out to be the perfect Goal Buddy.
