Enhance the Success of New Year’s Goals 7: Synergy

This concludes our series on how to transform New Year’s Resolutions into successful goals

My GoalsWork or mastermind team meets on the 2nd Wednesday of each month from 4:30-6:00pm. Our team includes four business owners. We follow the agenda outlined below. Each of us have increased our income, our satisfaction, and our sense of accomplishment. One of us expanded a portion of the business with the potential to eclipse the rest of the business combined. He rekindled a dwindling enthusiasm. Another member survived the tough decision to close two retail locations who would never regain the profits of the past. Another member wrote and published 5 books.

Words of Walt on Synergy

Walt Disney believed in the synergy of teams to make magic. He said

• “I use the whole plant for ideas. If the janitor has a good idea, I’d use it”
• “I feel there is no door which, with the kind of talent we have in our organization (team), could not be opened.”
• “Togetherness, for me, means teamwork”
• “Everything here at Disneyland and the studio is a team effort.”

Agenda for Successful Teams

GoalsWork Teams pool the abilities of all the members into a synergy that exceeds the sum of their capabilities. No member may sacrifice their goals because they consider someone else’s deserve more merit.

Each member of the team must commit to

• Set goals and act to achieve them
• Sincerely acknowledge the ability and right of all members—including themselves—to succeed
• Respect and support all the other members of the team. 

The agenda is simple. Each member of the team:

• States the goal they are working on
• Reports on the action they outlined in the last meeting
• Asks for ideas and brainstorming on a challenge inhibiting success or new ideas
• Outlines 2-4 actions they plan on taking before the next meeting.

Regular synergy through GoalsWork Teams will ensure your success. New Year’s resolutions become goals you achieve . So, be very careful which goals you set, for you will achieve them.
