Carl decided to commit himself to learning what it takes to build a robust Success Framework, by beginning with the end in mind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And his first test of this his newfound knowledge was his goal of becoming the Director of Technology. He had four months before Tony retired.<\/span><\/p>\n

The company, however, was shooting to fill that position much sooner to allow a smooth transition before Tony departed. So Carl did not have four months. Time was of the essence.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Director Level position carried a significant raise for Carl: <\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. $50k total compensation when you factor in salary increases and eligibility for leadership bonuses. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. It also will give Carl the recognition within the company he felt he deserved. <\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Over time he expected it would also lead to better control over his time and energy. <\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Instead of the usual go, go, go he will lead and direct others to make a more significant impact. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Carl is a fast learner, and he’s\u00a0coachable. He quickly grasped the insights from the simple Inside First Strategies we discussed. His confidence and excite went up a notch, and he was ready to go after his Goal (again<\/em>).<\/p>\n

    But four months was right around the corner. We\u00a0had to invest<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0our time wisely. <\/span><\/p>\n

    I gave Carl an overview of my Success Framework. Here are the elements of the framework that I shared with Carl and where we chose to focus.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Get crystal clear on the destination<\/strong> you are targeting.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Identify and drill into what matters most to you in life<\/strong> (first) and then career<\/strong> (second) \u2014some people may call these core values\u2013<\/span>\n
