Goal setting had always been a problem for me. I tend to have to many ideas and don’t know where to start to execute them properly. So then I become a “goal sitter” as my coach would say. So this month I joined her challenge. it’s only the first week and I can honestly say I realize where I’ve been going wrong. I’ve realized we as people love to set goals and never put a date to when they need to be done. as she put it “we start something and never master that one thing” before we move onto the next big idea . And then we end up getting “lost in the sauce”. With this months challenge it’s made me Realize that the reason why I am not accomplishing my goals is because I am not putting in the proper work to understand what these goals are. Being a mother I have to be careful with what goals I set for myself. Because everything i do effects my family. And every goal that brings me closer to financial freedom effects the way we live our lives, how much time I have available for my family and my business, and how much time I have personally to be able to be make sure I am mentally prepared to take care of it all and myself. The first thing I needed to do was write done me realistic goals .
Second I needed to understand what accomplishing these goals will actually look like for my future. And third I needed to understand why these goals where so important to me.
Without those three things all of these “goals” where just ideas that had no true priority in my lifestyle. and if I can not prioritize a goal to flow with what’s going on in my life then it will never get done.
All of your goals have to mean something to you. And you have to be comfortable with what your life will look like after these goals are accomplished. Once you take the steps to understand this, then you have to set a deadline. Figure out what goals have the most importance, tell yourself when they will be done And actively work on those goals daily to get it done in time. That way you’re not sitting on 101 goals and getting discouraged because you’re not moving forward.
I have been sitting still for years on a pile of ideas. But now that I understand my part in all of this and have been actively working on executing my goals instead of sitting on them, ive seen things starting to change around me in the most unexpected ways. and it truly is crazy how it all starts with you!
I challenge you to challenge yourself to accomplish at least one of your goals you have set for yourself throughout the Years but never finished. It can be something so simple, but give yourself a date it needed to be done and make sure it gets done. And watch how easy it becomes to start crossing things off your list. Like I said it all starts with you. So lets start reaching our goals instead of sitting on them.
