Successful Goal Setting – 3 Reasons Why People Fail

By Anthony D Carter

Successful goal achievement provides many benefits. Fulfillment, improved lifestyle and self respect are a few. Sometimes goals are missed because of common reasons. Here are three.

1-Setting the wrong goal. If you do not give the goal setting exercise some deep thought then you can end up pursuing the wrong objective. This leads to frustration and failure.

Solution: Pick a goal that matters to you. Pick something that you can do. Layout the reasons why you want it and make sure these reasons will motivate you to act.

2-Taking no action. When you don’t take action on your goals you lose initiative. Your goals begin to matter less and less. Eventually they become a memory of something that was once nice to have.

Solution: Once you know what you want and you have a plan for getting it take massive action. Begin to work on what you can do. Do not concern yourself with what you can’t do.

3-Asking others what they think. Seeking outside opinions has its place, but only in certain instances. All of your friends are not motivated by the same desires that you have. Friends who have different aspirations than yours may talk you out of pursuing your goal rather than lending their support. They probably mean well, but they just don’t have the same objectives as you. If that is the case then you should be wary of taking their advice.

Solution: Be careful who you listen to. Some of your best advice will come from people who have successfully done what you want to do. You can also listen to people who have earned your respect and have supported you in the past. Keep your plans to yourself as much as possible when surrounded by people who are negative. Take advice from people you know have your best interest at heart. Most people who are success minded themselves will happily support you in your endeavor.
