Prime Positioning for Success
Here, Mellon provides insight about himself and talks business.
Print+Promo (P+P): How do you set goals for yourself? For your business?
D. Todd Mellon (DTM): I have always been a goal-oriented person in both my business and personal life. I strongly believe in setting goals to achieve success. I attended a forum called The Strategic Coach for three years, which helped me fine-tune the way I set goals, and I still use those strategies today. Goals give me focus and direction, but the most important part of setting goals is going back later and checking my progress on a quarterly and yearly basis. This is one reason it is so important that I write down my goals. Goals in your mind can be too easy to alter, but clearly defined goals that are written down make it easier for me to gauge my success later down the road. Goals in my personal life also are very important because if your personal life is not in check, then you know your business life will suffer.
