Most people start the New Year by setting big goals which they plan to achieve before the year ends. The big question is, how many end up achieving their goals by the end of the year?
In this simple and very interesting article, I have written on ten reasons why people end up achieving nothing at the end of a whole year. You will find this article very insightful and helpful in achieving your goals for 2015.
Here are some reasons why people fail to achieve their goals at the end of the year.
No.1 Not setting any goals
There would be no goals to achieve if there are no goals set. The first step to achieving your goals for the New Year is to set them. Do not confuse wishing with goal setting, they are not the same. Don't just wish for things to happen, set specific goals and work hard and smart to bring them to reality.
No.2 Lack of believe in the goals set
Have you ever set very big goals that you didn't believe in? It happens to a lot of people. Break the big goals down into smaller goals that you can easily achieve. Once you doubt your ability to achieve any goal, it's almost certain that you will not achieve it.
No.3 Lack of motivation to achieve goals
You must be willing to push yourself to achieve your set goals. There would be challenges and tough times, you must stay strong and drive yourself. Do not wait for external forces to motivate you, drive yourself.
No.4 Unwritten goals
Goals not written down are soon forgotten, as soon as they come to your mind pen them down. Make sure your goals are properly documented and accessible anytime. This makes you remember your goals and keeps you focused on them.
No.5 Setting unrealistic goals
There is absolutely nothing wrong in having big dreams. However you must be realistic in setting your goals, do not be too much in a hurry to achieve great things. Remember that great accomplishments require time and effort.
No.6 Getting distracted by challenges
Every achievement comes with its own challenges, big or small. Are you ready to face the challenges when they come or will you give up? You must have your mind made up from the start, don't let challenges deter you from achieving your goals.
No.7 Focusing too much on past failures
Are you busy focusing on past failures? You are not likely to go forward if you keep looking back, you must discipline your thought and align them in the right direction. Let your gaze constantly be on the price.
No.8 Not having the right knowledge and skills required
Every endeavor in life requires some knowledge and skills. Be totally honest with yourself, do a knowledge and skill assessment for yourself. Do you have the right knowledge and skills to achieve your goals? If your do not, take the right steps to improve yourself.
No.9 The fear of venturing
Scared of taking risks? That's understandable, you need to understand that nothing great will be achieved if you are too afraid to even try. Brace up, push yourself this year, take on new challenges and do the things you fear.
No.10 Working alone
There is no way you are going to achieve great goals without the help of other people. Are you trying to achieve it all on your own? It's time to change your strategy, get help from other people, family, friends, and colleagues. You will always need the help of others as they would need yours. Ask for help when you need it.
