Oh no…….I hear you shriek……………..!!

Ok, so let’s deal with this right now…….

Set goals that matter to you

Make them towards/positive goals and NOT AWAY from/negative goals

Set goals that are NON negotiable!

What does non-negotiable mean to you?

So what are they….hopefully not a casual New Year thing to do?

What are the consequences of NOT ACHIEVING them? Are they your goals or goals that will impact on other people’s lives or both?

Does it really matter one way or the other whether you achieve them?? This is why 99% of NY resolutions are broken by Mid-January!!

So if you’re serious about changing your life you need to focus on changing habits; you must trigger change to effect change. Once you set the goals; what are the plans/strategies you need to put in place? Ok I hear you shriek again…..theoretical stuff that doesn’t work for me

So let’s keep it simpler…….. It goes like this for achievement to work; Goals/then Plans…..this is the HOW not the what/then the Actions,,,, this the what/the actions (GPA)…..make sure your goals are SMARTed—–

SPECIFIC/MEASURABLE/ACHIEVABLE/RELEVENT/TIMEBOUND….if they are not you won’t achieve your goals; they’ll remain aspirations or another “wish list”

Then be HONEST with yourself….even if you get this clear, NOTHING will change unless you take ACTION; the right actions in line with the above GPA. The ACTIONS are what you’re actually going to DO….not just plan to do…….this is called PROCRASTINATION……and that doesn’t change anything!!

The biggest advice I have gleaned from shifting MY own perspective is to take:

  • Ownership
  • Accountability
  • Responsibility

For your goals

This is a “reflective” assessment…….when examined and when assessed is a massive breakthrough process; the inverse to OAR is the learning; namely;

  • BLAME
  • EXCUSE
  • DENIAL

Also nothing will change unless YOU have clarity on:

  • WHITE HOT DESIRE
  • White hot BELIEF
  • MASSIVE action…..less is more…..So get your key actions clear and IMPLEMENT them; Clarity times focus = RESULTS

I’ve set 3 goals for 2018, so for what it’s worth; here they are; following my own advice are SMART GOALS/with STRATEGIES and then key ACTIONS….remember….you’ve got to clarify all of these clear if you’re serious about change….or nothing will change.

PS: If you’re a business owner the same applies……most time your business is you’re route to achieving your personal goals so you need to get your business GOALS sorted.
