Why You Should Revisit and Revise Your Goals After Contacting Organizations and Looking For Resources
GOALS
After you have reached out to several organizations and contacts, take a step back and revisit your goal. When you are networking and gathering information from people and organizations new insights, challenges, or opportunities you hadn’t anticipated will arise.
Reviewing your goals, paths you have chosen to achieve your goals, your notes with organizations and people that can help and any other information you’ve received is a critical step. It will allow you to decide if you want to continue down the same path or make an adjustment.
Why Revisiting Your Goal Matters
When you engage with multiple organizations and contacts, you collect a wealth of information. This new data may shift your perspective or reveal new paths forward. Knowing what motivates you to achieve your goals should be considered as new you identify resources and opportunities. Revisiting your goal ensures that you are still aligned with your why and your goals and that it aligns with your current situation and the feedback you’ve received.
