Yes this question would make me go blank too! What I wanted five years ago from even right now is completely different. I like the idea of a range... Gets you in the ballpark but not hyper committed to one outcome.
Agree completely. The goalposts are now much closer. Systems not goals is our new mantra (courtesy of Atomic Habits). We are planning on a rolling one year horizon with a one-thing mentality. What can we get done in one year that will move the needle?
I completely agree and love the idea of bringing the goalposts closer. It makes big ambitions feel so much more approachable and is a sustainable way to build momentum!
The direction I’d stay true to is to remain relevant in my field. Things and technology turn on a dime and keeping up requires homework I don’t have time to fit into my life outside of work. So I make it up by training on the clock. It should be looked at as an employer’s investment in providing resources that many may not know exist, so I pay it forward by taking the courses and letting others know this content is great and helps you remain valuable.
This was a great read and I’ll pay it forward by sharing.
