Have you ever had a goal that you just couldn't get excited about?
Instead of feeling inspired by it, you felt as if you were trudging through mud (or even quicksand)?
And so you kept putting it off, never feeling motivated to do it.
Which (of course) had you wondering why you couldn't just commit and do the work, and feeling. . .
Unproductive.
Like a procrastinator.
Lazy.
But what if the problem wasn't you, Friend?
What if your problem was the goal itself (and even your goal-setting process)?
Several of those common mistakes revolve around setting the wrong goals. That's because your goals should EXCITE you, and provide you with motivation to keep going (and unfortunately, lots of people don't do that).
When you set the wrong goal, you'll fail. Either you won't achieve your goal or you'll accomplish something that won't make you happy.
Now that you know what not to do, it's time to learn how to set goals the right way. And that's all about your goal-setting process.
If you've been a long-time reader, then this will sound familiar (I've written about it before).
I've updated the original article (a lot!) to take you step-by-step through my simple goal-setting process.
In this article, you'll learn: - 3 keys to setting goals you're more likely to achieve,
- Why setting SMART goals isn't enough (and what to do about that), and
- The FIRST thing you should do when goal-setting (that most people don't do) [hint: it's covered first in the Successful Goal-Setting Worksheet below].
It's time to set more meaningful goals that will motivate you to achieve them!
And before you go, I'd love to hear from you.
Hit reply and tell me your biggest takeaway from my goal-setting process and how you'll use that when setting your 2020 goals.
And if you have any questions about how to use this process as you set your new goals, just ask. I read every email and will respond.
