BHAGs- Big Hairy Audacious Goals

7 ways to determine if your goals are BHAGs

• Clear
  1. Who
  2. What
  3. When
  4. You may not know the how
• The Why- what’s important to you
• Must be Inspiring
• Bold and audacious (hard-difficult)
• Action plan – I use a checklist
• Articulate- write them out (clear and concise)
• Measurable- with accountability

Examples:

• Microsoft- computer on every desk
• Joint MBA/JD
• The Land of Stories Podcast
