50: 6 Reasons You’re Not Achieving Your Goals

Karin Freeland Episode 50

Do you have a goal that you just can't seem to bring to fruition? Maybe you move it forward on your to-do list every month and you're just not sure why you can't seem to achieve this goal. Or maybe you have this underlying dread every time you try to action to reach your goal?

It's a common problem and one that I help my clients overcome regularly.

In today's episode, I'm breaking down the top 6 reasons why you might be falling short of completing your goals.

Key Takeaways:

1) You're Only Making To-Do Lists: Your big goals deserve more attention and focus. A simple to-do list does not allow for sub-task and milestones.
2) You're Procrastinating: Procrastination begets procrastination. The key to overcoming this challenge is to dig deeper and understand why you're procrastinating, so you can address the root cause.
3) You Don't Really Want To Achieve That Goal: Because it's not really your dream. Often, we follow what society says we should do, or others have encouraged, without giving it enough thought.
4) You Have Too Many Goals: When your energy and effort is spread across too many activities, you'll find you make little progress on anything. To combat that I'll share how you can laser focus on your top goals to make more headway.
5) You're Goals Aren't SMART: Sometimes our goals are too vague and by following the SMART process for goal setting, you'll automatically improve the chances of reaching that goal. 
6) Perfectionism Is Getting In The Way: You're waiting until you have everything perfect instead of employing the iterate your way to success mentality.
