As a coach, I have had the extreme privilege of watching my clients cross the finish line in a burst of glory. This is a great feeling. On the flip side, I have also sat in the dug-out and watched clients miss the goal by a mile. What is the difference? Why do some people succeed at goals where others fail? Why do we succeed at some things and miss fail miserably at other things in life? I do not claim to have all the answers, but here are some common threads I have observed.
Many people I have noticed to fall short if they are not personally connected to the goal, meaning they don’t really have a big enough reason why they really want what they are chasing. For example if you want to earn $250000 in one year, that is great, but what will this do to you personally? What will change if you reach this goal? You also need to be specific with numbers or amounts, simply saying I want to be rich, is not good enough, why do you want to be rich? why do you want to earn $250000? If you are not connected to your goal there is a big chance you will not reach it.
Another common reason why people fail is that the goal they are chasing is not their own. Make sure you are going after a goal because you want to achieve it, not to please some one else, or because someone else told you to. If you do you will not have the power to follow through when the road gets bumpy which it always does.
Dreaming big is a must in my book however you have to be careful not to have just a big leap that your goal may feel impossible or too hard, for example if you are starting at zero dollars and y9ouyr goal is to earn 1 million in the next month, this may be too big, not impossible but difficult. Have a vision of what you want and chunk it down to smaller steps, first focus on earning 1000 dollars a week, 10000 dollars a month for example.
So, set quantifiable goals; know why they are really important to you; be specific; map out your route; identify benchmarks; and tell the world! Here is to your success.
