Are you and/or your goals too ambitious?

Written on 8:26 PM by J

As Brian mentioned yesterday, we had a conference call with Jun Loayza (@JunLoayza). He’s a great guy, I would recommend reading and subscribing to his blog at Junloayza.com; it will benefit generation Y entrepreneurs and professionals. Jun gave us advice about how to implement and focus on specific and measurable goals. I walked away from the conference call feeling as though our mission to help young professionals communicate more effectively within the corporate environment was too ambitious. It was at that moment that I began to question if our goals were unreachable and even more so, will we be able to successfully make a positive impact on young professionals and entrepreneur, and on a bigger scale…the world. I ask are you and/or your goals too ambitious?

When I think about being too ambitious I think the African American Senator, from Illinois, standing in front of the Illinois State Capitol Building captivating an audience by announcing his candidacy…he’s President. I think of Mark Zuckerberg, Chris Hughes, and Dustin Moskovitz creating Facebook…currently the leading social networking site in the world. I think of the young minister from Alabama who spoke out for freedom and against injustice and inequality…the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed.

Are our goals to lead the communication reform among young professionals and entrepreneurs too ambitious? In some eyes it may be, but will that stop us…NO. The answer is first we have to outline measurable REALISTIC goals and develop a solid implantation plan.
We have to dream big and be ambitious! No goal is too ambitious!

Are you and/or your goals too ambitious?
