Why annual goal setting does not work.
As evidence from the 2020 pandemic year + supporting hundreds of clients in achieving their own personal goals + being a working parent & juggling all-of-the-things, I am not convinced that annual goal setting is a powerful tool in defining success.
In fact, statistics show that people who create goals around New Years have positive intentions, however without a roadmap on how to achieve the goal, most people give up on their NYE goals by week 2-3 of January!
And…. as I was reviewing my 2020 planning workshop videos from December 2019, it became crystal clear to me (even as the instructor) as to why carving out 1-2 hours in mid-December is very strategic & purposeful for your to achieve success and happiness the following year.
Why I do not believe in annual goal setting:
Creating a goal and leaving it as just a goal to achieve is too vague. Setting up a goal does not give you any insight on how to achieve the goal. There is no roadmap for success.
What will happen when you are unable to achieve the goal? Do you have a backup plan or is this how you define failure?
What will happen when you do achieve the goal? What comes next? How do you know what positive or negative habits to keep from that goal?
This Friday will be your last day to register for the Guide to Living with Intention, Clarity, & Confidence in 2021 Workshop.
Don’t miss out because I want to see you crush your definition of success in 2021!
