Today we are looking at B.H.A.G’s (Big Hairy Audacious Goals) and how we can crush them in 2022. Let’s start by defining what exactly are B.H.A.G’s.

According to Investopedia.com, A big hairy audacious goal, or BHAG, is a clear and compelling target for an organization to strive for. The term was coined in the book “Built to Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies” by Jim Collins and Jerry Porras. A BHAG—pronounced “bee hag”—is a long-term goal that everyone in a company can understand and rally behind. BHAGs are meant to excite and energize people in a way that quarterly targets and lengthy missions statements often fail to.

So now that we know what it is the question is how do we crush it? Here are a few tips.

• The best way to achieve a BHAG is to start where you are by taking stock of what you have achieved so far in your business.

• Create your BHAG and make sure it is something you are really excited about achieving

• Break your goal down into tiny bits that can be measured for success along your journey

• Celebrate your wins so you can continue on the path towards BHAG success
