Top 5 fatal flaws in most Goal setting strategies
By Rafael Tomik – Personal Life coach
Research shows that %75 of the population does not set or have any specific goals. Furthermore; it also shows that %95 of the individuals who do set goals, do not follow through and achieve those goals, ever. This means that less than %2 of individuals are successful in reaching their goals. %2 only. Why? The following are the top reasons most individuals who DO set goals, fail to achieve them. Make sure you are NOT one of them. 1. Incongruence - No matter how hard you try, you can never achieve a goal that is inconsistent with your self image.
Do you honestly see yourself being, having or achieving it? Do you really believe it? Do you have a powerful vision of yourself as having achieved this goal? Is you mind working for or against you? Well, you better fully sell this idea to yourself & your mind first before you make your first move. Otherwise, it is going to be really difficult or almost impossible to achieve what you want. Not only you have to fight & overcome outside forces but, you have to fight with your inner self / mind and overcome that as well. See, feel, believe & BE the end result before you take action.
2. Insincerity - (or Lack of a strong intention) Unless you deeply desire your goals & know why exactly you want it, you will be too willing to quit.
Why do you want to achieve this goal? Is this goal truly important to you? What “price” are you willing to pay in order to achieve it? A strong intent & passion provides you with true meaning and unlimited strength & focus to achieve your goals. Without it you will be too tempted to quit when the “going gets tough”. It’s your true intent & inner passion that provide you with unlimited power.
3. Imprecision -The human mind requires a very specific target or it will miss its mark.
How specific is your goal? Can you describe what you want in detail? Do you know the required step you need to take to get there? It is very difficult to achieve goals that are general & vague. The more specific your goals are the easier it will be to plan and the faster & more efficiently you will achieve them. Get super specific when setting & planning your goals.
4. InConsiSteNcy - Without constant action, attention & faith you will not succeed.
Do you work toward your goals everyday? How often do you think about your goals? Are your goals written down on paper, always in front of you or just floating in your head? Do you read them every morning & every night? Everyday before you go to sleep ask yourself- what have I done TODAY & what will I do tomorrow to make my dream come true. If often the answer is “Nothing Specific” then you will never make it unless you change your ways. Consistent attention, effort & faith is the only way.
5. Lack of a deadline - A goal with no deadline is simply a recurring wish.
Do your goals have specific deadlines? What is the specific time line for your goal? What are the mile stones? When you give a solid deadline to your goals in effect you are helping yourself to get serious & focused. A deadline on your goals brings much needed efficiency, planning & structure to your plan. Without it you will be “Trying” to reach your goals “whenever”. Serious goals have absolute deadlines.
