"The bend in the road is not the end in the road unless you fail to make the turn.”
This Frequently Asked Friday takes it back to the basics: What are the common mistakes people make when going after their goals?
Behold the Dirty Dozen — perhaps the top 12 mistakes we make when it comes to goal-setting.
What happens when we set goals and don't achieve them? We're less likely to set more goals! Conversely, when we set goals and DO achieve them, we are much more likely to go out and set and achieve even more goals!
So it's critical to set yourself up for success and avoid some common mistakes.
From talking about your goals, relying on a to-do list, and focusing on the outcome, to NOT anticipating setbacks — and much more — listen in for tips on an optimum environment for goal achievement, and how aligning Habits via PARR will help.
