Build confidence with achievable goals

Now you need a system to keep you accountable. All-or-nothing goals can feel impossible to accomplish and are a surefire way to sap your confidence. Instead, set incremental goals to build momentum through your career. This is much more practical and achievable than relying on one major goal to define whether your career is a success or failure.

Once you’ve identified your big, audacious goal, break it into smaller, more quantifiable goals to make it easier to manage it. Every small goal achieved will contribute to a more sustainable sense of progress. When you’re ready to set a new goal, ask yourself:

• When do I want to achieve this goal?
• How long will it take?
• What resources and skills do I have?
• What resources and skills do I need?

01. Identify places where a Vico or Jesse can win.

02. Find the Vico/Jesse of that place.

03. Start citizen education. Ingat lang at baka ma redtag.

04. Create a Coalition of LGUs practicing good governance.

Rinse repeat hanggang magka critical mass of professionally managed LGUs.
