Will you achieve your goals in 2018?
Have you even set your goals for 2018?
Yay, fabulous if you have.
Research tells us that 80% of people have absolutely no goals.
They float through life living the same year over and over again. No direction. No goals.
“Goals allow you to control the direction of change in your favor.” – Brian Tracy
Without goals you’re journeying through life directionless.
At sea in a boat with no sail, no rudder, no motor; at the beck and call of the winds and currents of life.
Pretty much living in default mode. Going through the motions of living.
That same research tells us that 16% of people think of goals but don’t bother to write them down.
Think here of New Year’s resolutions. You’ve probably said some pretty bold ones on New Year’s Eve on more than one occasion. Most of us have. The irony is that few of us remember them the next day. Even fewer of us do anything about them. Very few achieve them.
“We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think.” – Buddha
One thought does not, however, shape us when we think it in isolation.
Thinking about goals is not sufficient unless we write them down and we know that only 4% of people write their goals down.
“Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible.” – Tony Robbins
Thinking of a goal, writing it down and putting it away somewhere and never looking at it again is unlikely to help us achieve our goal!
Just 1% of people write their goals down and regularly review them.
AND that 1% are among the highest achieving people in the world.
“Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.” – Jim Rohn
Millionaires write their goals down once a day.
Billionaires write their goals down twice a day.
“Stay focused, go after your dreams and keep moving toward your goals.” – LL Cool J
You can have all the goals you want.
You can write them down.
You can review them.
And there’s still a pretty big chance you’ll not achieve them.
When we’re the only one who knows our goals it’s easy to not take the actions required to reach our goals.
We let ourselves down.
We procrastinate.
We intend to get stuff done and then we drop the ball.
Other stuff gets in the way.
Staying focused in isolation is not easy for most of us.
We benefit from having someone holding our feet to the fire, keeping us on track.
Someone who cares whether we achieve our goals and holds us accountable for doing what we say we’re going to do.
What I know to be true for me and countless others is that when someone else holds us accountable, when they check up on us, we get stuff done.
“Accountability breeds response-ability” – Stephen Covey
All of which is why I’ve put together “Inspired to Get Stuff Done”.
Get the support you deserve so you can stop procrastinating, stay focused and get stuff done.
