Why over 82% of set goals are not achieved and how to avoid the pitfalls.
Discover the crucial step that is often missed..
You probably know the feeling - that burst of enthusiasm for your new resolutions, an awesome goal you've set for yourself or your business, and you can't wait to get started. Why wait, indeed? You know where you want to go, and only losers wait until tomorrow. You're the kind of person who likes to take action and work practically; you don’t let the grass grow under your feet!
You might also recognize that moment when you suddenly realize that the goal you were so excited about has somehow slipped away from you. Or that reaching your goal doesn’t seem as imminent as you had hoped, for whatever reason.
You're not alone in this! Research shows that a staggering 80 to 90% of set goals are ultimately never achieved. We'll be the first to admit that sometimes things just don't work out, no matter how passionate you are. That's life! However, there are indeed several fundamental keys that, when understood, can help you avoid the most common pitfalls and get a grip on your progress and focus!
Imagine what it would be like to actually achieve your set goals
What difference would it make if you knew where you stood day by day, and what the most effective next step would be to actually bring you closer to your goal? That no matter what distractions come your way, you can ultimately check off your achieved goal with pride.. how fantastic would that be?
Let me tell you that there are always goals that you eventually deviate from because circumstances change, or because you discover a more beautiful goal along the way. Yet, it’s easier than you think to make and keep your goals achievable. If you prepare properly and are truly ready to go for it, there's no reason why your goal should end up in the 'good ideas graveyard.'
We are convinced that the above is not rocket science, but simply a skill that you can learn and apply. What difference could this skill make in your life?
Sometimes going back to basics is the most productive thing you can do right now
In our webinar series 'YUMB Start Foundations', we certainly won't skip this topic. From experience, we know that this is one of the most important foundations for making your project or business successful: setting clear goals that are achievable, and of course, a plan that gives you direction and keeps you on track.
Of course, there are wonderful methods and tools for setting SMART goals and managing your projects. At YUMB, we love handy tools and smart gadgets, but our house rule is to first get the basics right and start very simply. The time you invest here will always pay off later.
No matter how much experience you have, it never hurts to go back to basics now and then. During the next installment of our webinar series, we will lay a solid foundation for your goal setting together.
Why you don't want to miss the webinar
We like to be economical with our (and your) time, so let's keep it to the point. We are happy to share the necessary insights, some practical tools, and perhaps a few 'golden nuggets'. Topics that will be discussed:
Staying effective, even beyond that first phase of enthusiasm.
Coming up with a plan that not only gives direction but is also actually executable.
What the low-hanging fruit is on your path to success.
The most common pitfalls where projects fail.
Staying motivated when your goal still seems far away.
Where it often goes wrong in measuring your progress
The most effective method to maintain focus and save energy
This webinar is for everyone who takes their goal(s) seriously and is not waiting for a technical story or dusty methods. Let's grow together from our challenges and pitfalls, and share what works best to move forward!
Over the past twenty years, I've not only learned to deal with my own goals and ambitions (and perfectionism... sound familiar?), but I've also gained a lot of experience by working with ambitious clients, entrepreneurs, and projects. Achieving my goals while also making time for a happy marriage and raising four children requires goal-oriented focus, clear priorities, and a practical approach. I'm looking forward to sharing these with you during this webinar!
You’re welcome to join the next online session. All in all, it will not take more than an hour, and you can comfortably listen in from home or at your workplace. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions.
(you can join this webinar 100% free of charge!)
