How to Avoid The Biggest Goal-Setting Mistake

, , , ,

Setting goals can be tricky 🎯. Some are too small and don’t challenge us, while others are so big they’re daunting. In this episode, we’ll talk about finding the right balance, like shifting from an unreachable $1,000 a day to a more manageable $33.33. We’ll also discuss the power of deadlines in pushing us to achieve our goals. Let’s explore how to create goals that motivate and are within reach, and how deadlines can help us get there ✨.

[01:18] Goal Setting: 

  • Avoid extremes by not setting goals too low, which won’t challenge you, or too high, which may prevent you from starting.
  • Adjust goals when necessary to ensure they are achievable.
  • Goals should be measurable and easy to picture in your mind.
  • If you can clearly see yourself achieving a goal, it makes it easier and more enjoyable to work towards it.

  • To make your goals real, it’s important to have a sense of what it feels like to achieve them.
  • Find ways to experience the things you want in life, even if it’s just for a short time. This will help you visualize and understand your goals better.
  • There will be challenges along the way, but don’t let them stop you from achieving your goals.
