You’ve set lofty goals for 2015 but have you also built the plan to achieve them?
Often we fall into the trap of setting goals without ‘building a plan’ to achieve them. If you decide to make one change this year – ‘build the plan and then implement it’.
Sometimes we get so caught up in the financial goals or company targets, that we lose focus on how these targets impact our personal lives and dreams. Your incentive to achieve the ‘what may seem unrealistic’ goals will be put into perspective when your desire to achieve them is because of what you want to do personally. So when you’re not feeling motivated, think about what goals you’re working towards for motivation.
Decide what you want. Spend some time really thinking about what’s important to you and why you want a particular amount of money, vacation, new home, etc.
Once you have clearly defined the goal set a plan to achieve it. Break down the plan. Take that plan and organize it into monthly, weekly and daily tasks so you’ll know what’s required at all times to achieve your goals.
Just saying in January that you have twelve months to achieve what you set out to do isn’t going to get you where you want to go. The plan has to be built so that every day, every week and every month you know what is required.
Decide what you want and build a plan. And on the days you get discouraged, you’ll remember why you need to do what you’re doing.
