We covered a lot quickly in this program, so let’s recap the key ideas:
Setting specific goals is the key to making vague hopes into vivid reality
The more specific your goal, the more quickly you’ll see what to do — and the better you’ll be able to find the resources to achieve it.
But setting goals isn’t enough — it’s important to measure your progress
Measuring progress toward your goals every single day can motivate you to keep going, tell you when your approach isn’t working, and help you stay accountable to your goals through the process of self-monitoring.
You can use some or all of the 7 goal-achievement secrets to stay on track
1 — Make It Visual
2 — Write It Down
3 — Stay Accountable
4 — Put Your Goals First
5 — Don’t Break The Chain
6 — Embrace Tiny Actions
7 — The Law Of Incremental Action
Making progress toward your goals isn’t always easy — prepare to overcome 5 common obstacles
Obstacle 1: “I Feel Unmotivated”
If you are feeling unmotivated, that’s a sign that you may need to reconnect to your deeper purpose.
Obstacle 2: “I Think I Want To Change My Goal”
Give yourself a little time and space to reflect. Consider this question: Is there a logical reason why I need to change my goal — or is this an emotional response?
Obstacle 3: “I Think It Will Take Me More Time To Achieve This”
Here you can see the value of splitting long-term goals into short-term, 90-Day goals.
Obstacle 4: “I Am Stuck On How To Achieve My Goal”
There are a few things you can do when you’re feeling stuck on how to move forward, such as talking to a coach or doing the “Brainstorm 100” exercise.
Obstacle 5: “I Am Feeling Overwhelmed”
First, step back and consider if you’re really overwhelmed, or just tired. Next, think about breaking your goal down into even smaller milestones, and focus only on getting to the next milestone.
