Well, here we are. Springing into action to make 2022 the best year ever, right?
If you’re like most business owners, you have your plan for the year in place…or mostly in place. You’ve set your goals and you know where you’re going. The trick is getting there. Without falling into the trap.
What trap? The trap that swallows your achievement, eats away at your success, and keeps you from having the life you want.
Giving up too easily. It’s a trap that 92% of people fall into. That’s right. An incredible 92% of people who set New Year’s goals never actually achieve them according to research by the University of Scranton.
There’s a reason that the other 8% hang on and hang in when others give up.
Their goals work for them, rather than against them.
You can be in that 8% group if you follow these 5 basic rules for great goal setting:
- Be clear and specific
- Focus on a limited number of goals at a time
- Keep it real… challenge yourself, don’t break yourself
- Stay connected to your vision and mission
- Set timelines and measure progress along the way.
How many times have you fallen into that 92% trap with your goals? Me, too. More times than I want to admit. But that’s in the past.
Now that you know how to set goals you can stick with, you can avoid the trap and land proudly with that successful 8%.
Here’s to your best year ever.
Blessings,
Chris
