Do you have a goal for 2020?
Hey,
Do you love goal setting?
Do you set goals for yourself on a regular basis?
The problem for a lot of people is that they are either a goal setter or a problem solver. Problem solvers operate in reactive mode. Goal setters take command of their future.
”living without a goal is like being in a bumper boat—bouncing from one direction to another.”
—Mack Newton.
According to my mentors Mack Newton and Blair Singer, there are four reasons why people don’t achieve their goals:
Unsupportive environment.
Negative emotions.
They feel like they don’t deserve it.
They have the wrong goals.
I encourage you to take a couple of moments to consider the goals that you’ve set for yourself and what kind of environment you have to help you achieve those goals.
Ask yourself:
what’s my goal for the next six months?
why is that goal so important?
what’s the next step to move closer to my goal?
who is holding me accountable?
Perhaps you don’t have any goals right now. That’s OK. Just ask yourself what do you really want. Yep! That’s a bloody big question to ask yourself!
So many people go through their lives with the goal of being happy. And for them, happiness might be measured by job security, a little bit of money in the bank and a holiday once a year. Is that what they really want or is that as far as they dare to dream?
Our goalsetting process is all about identifying what’s really important to our clients and then developing a plan to get there. And for many of my clients, accountability is the most important factor in engaging a coach. Think about it. In health and fitness, personal trainers find out what you want, show you what to do and make sure you turn up to do it.
So, what do you want and who is gonna help you get it?
Dan.
