How to Achieve Your Goals
This is part 5 of the 5 part series on goal setting. You can find Part 1 HERE, Part 2 HERE, Part 3 HERE, and Part 4 HERE.
If you have been following along in this series on goal setting for the new year then you are already way ahead of the game in achieving your goals this year. If you have missed them then it’s time to go back and start at the beginning so you have the very best chance of success this year.
Now we are going to talk about some other ways to help ensure your success this year with your goals. These are ways to go the extra mile and make sure our goals aren’t left on the back burner three months from now.
- Have a schedule of checking in.
- Creating a habit of checking in with your goals will set yourself up for success. I recommend checking in with your big yearly goals at least once a month. This can be a time when you review your goals, the progress you’ve made, and adjust for any changes you need to make to move forward. A good way to create this habit is to put it in your calendar or schedule an alarm on your phone as a reminder to check in with your goals.
- Accountability
- The other main way to ensure you achieve your goals this year is through accountability. You can find this in many different ways. Unfortunately we as people tend to not hold ourselves very accountable to ourselves. However, we are social creatures and respond well to social accountability. This can be done through sharing your goals, progress, and outcomes online publicly. This can be done through getting an accountability partner who you share back and forth with and keep up through regular check ins. Another way to keep yourself accountable is through hiring a life coach who will keep you accountable, challenge you, and push you in ways a friend may not. Any way you do it I highly recommend getting accountable for your goals.
These are just two simple ways to create more success with your goals this year. I would love to hear any other tips or tricks you may have for creating success with your goals, and what you are going to do moving forward. Please share in the comments below.
