Did you set goals for the year 2024 and we are just 1 weak away from the end of the year and it looks like you are yet to achieve any? This is something that is common, especially with a lot of us and at the end, we always feel bad because we were unable to meet this goals. A lot of people see goals like they are wishing, and this is because with wishes, you just wait and hope that it happens that is why the word if wishes were horses exist but with goals, actions are needed in other to achieve them. In other to achieve goals, there are a few things that can be done and I will talk about them here.
I started a small business this year, and I wrote down my list of goals. When I was writing them, I wrote what I wanted to achieve in the year and what was possible to be achieved even when it is tough. Today, I looked back at the goals, and I can tell that I was able to achieve them all and more. Having a list of goals is what differentiate a person that have a direction from someone who is just going all around and expecting the world to bring their thoughts to their doorstep. When you hear stuffs like this, it looks like it is one personal development guru selling you something, well, I am not a guru in any way, I am sharing with you what I used this year that worked for me. Writing something down and being able to ruminate on it regularly is enough to give you the drive you need to get it done.
The first mistake of not achieving goals is not setting them at all, remember that you should set achievable goals even when they are tough. The next thing to do is to look at this goals at regular basis which can be every year, every month, every week, or every day depending on which is comfortable by you. Checking your goals regularly help you keep taps with your goals instead of being stuck in your daily activity that would cause you to forget.
Writing and looking at it regularly isn't going to cut it alone, you need to monitor your progress. As you grow, it is important to monitor the progress of every goal else you might end up not getting any done at all, or leaving the majority half way. It is important to monitor the progress of your goal because people who do so are more likely to achieve their goals than people who do not monitor their goals.
Every goal is bound to have an obstacle and it is important to visualize this obstacles and look at how to solve the problems. If you are able to visualize the problems you have, you will be able to find solutions to them easily before they come in reality. If you are able to solve your problems mentally, solving them physically will not be a problem. I will round it up here but these steps I just shared with you is the same steps I used in attending to my goals in 2024, and I must say that it was a success.
