Rocket Goals

In staking over thin ice, our safety is in our speed.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Since the days of Julius Caesar, military leaders have known the incredible power of speed to win the advantage. Author Michael Grant in The Twelve Caesars describes Caesar’s use of speed:

The gift which contributed most largely to his success was an abnormally energetic ability to get things done. This was conspicuously apparent in the occupation of warfare in which he excelled all his rivals. The point was that he could do everything with extraordinary speed. Caesar lived at a faster tempo than the people who had to contend with him, and this gave him an enormous advantage, offering the widest scope to that capacity for the unexpected, unpredictable action which his friends found such an irresistibly attractive feature of his talents.

Of course speed by itself is not a magic elixir that solves every problem - but rather “directed speed” is what brings decisive advantage, even into modern times. Harnessing the power of speed within the ROCKET Goals Launch sequence can be transformative, much like Julius Caesar's use of speed granted him a strategic advantage. Directed speed, when effectively integrated, can dramatically accelerate your progress towards goals.

Here are some key ROCKET steps to help you leverage this potent force:

 1. Remember Your Future Self: Set Clear, Immediate Goals
   - Quick Decision-Making: Emulate Caesar's rapid decision-making by setting clear, immediate goals that align with your long-term vision. This clarity will allow you to act swiftly and decisively.

 2. Own Your ONE Thing: Prioritize for Speed
   - Identify High-Impact Actions: Determine the ONE thing that can significantly advance your goals. Focus your energy on tasks with the highest impact and potential for quick wins.

 3. Celebrate Change: Adapt Rapidly
   - Embrace Flexibility: Stay open to change and be ready to pivot quickly in response to feedback or new information. Celebrating change involves recognizing when a shift in strategy is needed to maintain momentum.

 4. Keep Kind Intentions: Build a Team That’s Kindly Urgent
   - Cultivate a High-Speed Culture: Foster a team environment where speed is valued alongside quality and kindness. Encourage team members to act with urgency, but without sacrificing the care and thoughtfulness behind each action.

 5. Engage with Exponential Effort: Implement Efficient Systems
   - Leverage Technology: Utilize tools and technologies that streamline workflows and communication. Efficient systems reduce time wastage, allowing for quicker action and decision-making.

 6. Transform Time with Your Team: Master Time Management
   - Effective Delegation: Assign tasks based on individual strengths and capacities to ensure tasks are completed more swiftly. Effective delegation also involves trusting your team to execute with speed and precision.
