Savage counsel – tackling your goals one at a time

Each week in Encore, Chris Savage answers your industry questions and career dilemmas. This week, he looks at tackling your goals one at a time.

Hi Chris,

I am struggling to progress at the agency where I work. I have been here for seven years and have done well, if I do say so myself. But in the past 18 months, I seem to have stagnated. I am still ambitious and I want to keep moving up the ladder but I feel like I have lost my mojo. How do you stay motivated to achieve your goals?

“Success is steady progress towards one’s personal goals.” Well, that’s what my fortune cookie from The Peacock Gardens in Crows Nest told me a couple of weeks ago. Achieving goals year in and out is a daunting journey littered with setbacks.
