I work with soooo many clients who say they aren't reaching
their goals and are super frustrated.
When we actually get to work looking at those goals, challenges,
obstacles, etc., more often than not the goals they were working towards
weren't really in sync with what they really wanted. Goals often conflict with each other because
most of us don't really take the time that's needed to REALLY think about what
you want ... we're sort of on this ever moving treadmill and anchored to a life
of busywork... STOP!!! Take time to
identify what YOU want and I bet you'll be amazed how much more motivated
you'll be to reach them. Grab a friend,
an accountability buddy, a coach, create a mastermind group - whatever it takes
for you to take the time to think, brainstorm and yes, get feedback.
Here are things to be careful of when setting your goals:
1. Make sure the goals are yours - not your manager's, your
spouse's, your friends, parents etc. or society's in general.
2. Your heart isn't in it - you really don't care - you're
simply doing it because you think it's what you should do.
3. You're hanging around soul suckers - you know who they
are - they are toxic, they poo poo on your dreams - they don't want you to outgrow
them. Find positive, motivated,
inspirational and giving people - there are lots out there.
4. You're over extended - you can't accomplish are your
goals at once and you can't do everything yourself. Be realistic - have laser focus on one goal
at a time...multi tasking is a myth!!!
Delegate whenever possible. We
all need a support team - figure out what your team looks like for you.
5. It's toooo hard (insert "whine whine" here) -
yeah - some things are hard. Don't be
one of the "yeah but" people... or the "if only I could....
but..." Really????
Grab on tight - go for it - be persistent!!! It's a lot more fun if it's a goal you really
want - Good Luck!
