Ask why you want to accomplish this goal.What’s the main reason you want to accomplish your goal.Is it to impress someone else?Is it because you’ve always had this goal? How good would you feel if you were to accomplish that goal? What will you be able to accomplish if you finish that goal?Set Your SMART Goals:SMART is an acronym that stands for...Specific - A major reason why New Year's resolutions fail are that you aren’t specific enough. Creating specific goals does something psychologically that sets you up for success. Measurable - The more quantifiable the better. Weight is a good example because you can step on the scale and have a number.Attainable - Make sure you are positioned with the tools required to nail your goal. If you don’t have them, go get them. Also, be sure to be realistic. Relevant - Why is this relevant in the context of the bigger picture of your life? Time-Bound - Put a specific time frame on your goal. (Also, don’t be too short-term. This is one of the reasons why people give up. Give it a year’s time with quarterly check points.)Resources Mentioned in the Show:Follow me on IG and DM me what your goals are! https://www.instagram.com/careerwarriorpodcast/Come up with your SMART goals and implement an action plan.
