I’m going to just start off with what New Year’s goal setting used to look like for me:
- Curling up on the couch New Year’s Day, or possibly some other Friday or Saturday evening in January or possibly even February, because you know, I’m busy!
- Opening up my journal to the pages I wrote out last year’s goals, noting that it could have been quite possible that these pages hadn’t been visited in, um, well, maybe never since the day they were written on.
- I’d maybe write some notes on this page detailing, if you can call it that, any progress I had achieve in each goal.
- After realizing how I had not accomplished to do what I said I wanted to do, I might beat myself up a bit.
- Pour another glass of wine.
- Give myself a pep talk about how this year is going to be different.
- Write down another new, ambitious list, possibly a bit more detailed so as to hope for greater success in the coming year.
- Close the notebook.
- Go to bed.
If this sounds any bit familiar to you then read on my friend because there is a much better way.
A way that guarantees an end to your cycle of, truly, wasting your time over good intentions that get left behind.
This plan is way more simple than your brain is going to allow you to believe AND it will get you amazing results of creating your best life ever.
My new goal setting process is a strategic plan that includes managing my mind and it is what got me from just having great hopes of change to actually achieving my dreams.
As I have evaluated my process I want to share my four best tips that will guarantee your goal success, in order of importance, in my opinion.
Constraint.
Just pick one big goal to put your all into.
The one that will make the others irrelevant.
You won’t want to do this but trust me, it is key!
Make it measurable.
You have to have a way to determine if you are making progress.
Math doesn’t lie.
You want it to be very specific and results oriented.
Plan.
Just writing your dreams down, closing the book and maybe taking a peek once in a while is not a plan.
You’ll want to take some time to figure out all of the things that are going to stop you from achieving this goal of yours, write them down.
These are all of your obstacles.
How are you going to overcome these obstacles?
Write all of your ideas down, these are your action steps.
These steps are going to go on your calendar.
Yes, you’re going to decide when you’ll do them and schedule them.
Keeping in your head is not a plan.
Evaluation.
This is probably my favorite part.
Not the part I thought was going to be my favorite.
Sitting down every month, every quarter, and seeing in black and white what I’ve done, what I didn’t do and where those steps got me.
Magic.
Those evaluations revitalized me.
They got me excited, again, about what I was doing in my life.
Now I have a bonus tip that without, makes this, and any goal setting process, unsuccessful.
Mind Management.
The process of working through my self coaching, and having my very own coach show me what is going on in my brain, is what truly makes this process different from any other I’ve attempted.
The best laid out program, strategies with evaluations, mean nothing when we’re unable to look at the results we’re getting and be able to figure out how to get the results we want.
Taking the steps to achieve your impossible goal for the year is a process that will change you and force you to grow into your next best version, or two or three.
Today’s you will never be able to achieve your planned impossible goal but who you become along the way to achieving that goal is the person who can achieve that goal.
