Goal Setting! It’s a wonderful thing. All you have to do is set
a goal and now your life is on easy street. Unfortunately, it
doesn’t work that way.
Goal Setting! It’s a wonderful thing. All you have to do is set
a goal and now your life is on easy street. Unfortunately, it
doesn’t work that way.
But wait a minute, I thought goal setting is all the rage? All
I have to do is set a goal, everything becomes clear and all my
next steps instantly appear? I guess that is possible, but you
must avoid the biggest trap of goal setting.
What about your big goals that haven’t happened yet? Most
likely they will provide you with a very positive pay off and
be good for all those around you. Is it just a cake walk when
you go after your goals or are there obstacles? You have
probably already encountered obstacles or you would have
everything you ever wanted.
What are these obstacles? Well, there is a huge variety of
them. They can be physical, mental, spiritual and they differ
from person to person and from goal to goal. Knowing the
specific details of the obstacles is nice, but what really
matters is having the ability to consistently navigate around
whatever might come up.
There are major areas where obstacles develop and the first
area is not having a clear target or goal. If you have no clue
as to what your target is, how can you possibly know if you hit
it? How can you even start to plan a means to get there?
The second major area of break down is not having a clear plan
or road map to follow. Your goal is doomed to remain in this
dream state where you never take specific steps towards it.
The third major break down area is failing to track your
progress. You have a great goal and a detailed plan, but you do
not have a system in place to evaluate if your plan is working
or if you are even following your plan. All plans require that
you follow them in order to create any value and most likely
they will also need course corrections. Once you start on your
plan, you will discover new information that you didn’t know
before and your plan will need to be updated.
Lastly, the final major area of break down is not having an
outside means of accountability. Something that checks up on
you to verify you are making progress towards your goal.
Now that we know the major areas where goal setting breaks
down, what is the biggest trap of goal setting? Simply put, it
is not having a system in place that ensures you follow through
on all the critical steps of goal setting. The good news is,
once you set up your system, you can use it for all your goals.
First, your system needs to consistently remind you what your
target / goal is. Many goals are abandoned because they were
put off so many times, that thinking about them only reminds
you of all the time that has been wasted.
Second, your system needs to track your progress. This enables
you to make course corrections. Not only will it ensure you
arrive at your goal, it also provides motivation by revealing
all the progress you are making.
Finally, your system needs an OUTSIDE means of accountability.
Something that checks up on you to make sure you have a clear
target, you are following your plan, tracking your progress,
and making the needed course corrections.
Avoid the biggest trap of goal setting! Develop a system that
will guarantee you will follow through, no matter the goal, no
matter the obstacle. Your goals are waiting and success is sure
to be yours.
