I don’t know about you, but when we start getting closer to a New Year, the first thing that comes to mind for me is setting new goals. It’s easy to get excited about what’s to come and the goals you’re setting, the tough part comes when it’s time to stick to them. You are the only person who has the power to make the changes you want in life. Whether your goals are small or large, life-changing or minor adjustments, it’s on you to make it happen. What does it take to make them stick? What can you do to ensure that you find a way to follow through to success? From fortitude to having a plan, here’s a look at three ways to make 2018 your best year yet by following through on your 2018 goals.
3 Ways to Make Your 2018 Goals Stick
Have a plan. There’s a lot to be said for being a free spirit and flying off-the-cuff, but if you want to see real, proven results, a plan is the answer. Knowing how to map out your destination is half the battle when it comes to achieving goals. Think about how you’re going to get from A to B and what the steps in between might be. Sometimes there is a whole heap of baby steps or smaller projects that need to take place before making a giant leap. Set some smaller goals along the way. With a plan, you got this.
Tell your friends what you’re up to. Sometimes having a community of supporters is one of the best ways to get your goals out there. It’s amazing how excited people will get for you too. Say for example you have a goal for yourself that by December of 2018, you’ll leave your corporate job to follow your passion and start your own small business. Once you start spreading the word about your plans, you’ll be surprised at just how many people will help you achieve your goal. Your friends, family and supporters will want to help you spread the word, network and maybe even buy your product or service!
Think big. Everyone always says when it comes to goals to start small…but why? You’ve got the world at your fingertips and it’s limitless! You can do anything you put your mind to and that’s what you have to remind yourself. No matter who you are or what your goals are, never let anyone make you feel like you should start smaller than you want to. Dreams are just that, they’re meant to be huge and passion-filled…and goals are born from those dreams. If you want something, you go get it and don’t let anything or anyone get in your way.
Three steps to achieve your 2018 goals. Do you think if you put your mind to it, you can get after it? What’s on your 2018 goal list?
