You're struggling to achieve your goals. What are the most effective strategies?

Goals have no value, unless you know what your values are. Values are the fundament under your goals. WHY do you have these goals? What or who is important to you? Because if you don't know what your values are, trying to achieve your goals is like going on a sailing trip without a compass........

The first step when struggling to achieve your goals, is to revisit your Why. Why you set those goals in the first place and how emotionally connected are you to achieving those goals. Emotional commitment to a goal, beats any kind of motivation techniques you might try to utilise, as motivation is at best, temporary. By leaning into and reminding yourself of WHY you put a goal in place, will allow you to connect with it's purpose and the outcome you want to achieve. If you are unable to connect emotionally to the goal you have to consider, whether it was worth having in the first place. If you can connect emotionally to that goal, then working out the steps required to achieve it and committing to them becomes much easier to do.

Discuss your struggle openly with your coach/mentor...if you don't have one, get one (better yet, get many!). Be honest. Be vulnerable. Then, applying KISS in concrete terms, visualize and write a realistic vision/mission for yourself with laser-like targeted SMART goals to realize it. Get feedback, embrace it, adjust, get moving, and check-in (often).

We all have dreams but Reese Witherspoon said something very smart: "Don't chase your dreams. Chase your talents." A person's goals will be much more realistic if they align with one's gifts. And the "sweet spot" goal likely lives at the intersection of talent, values, and passion. That will be your "Ikigai" which is the Japanese word for your "calling" or purpose in life.

Specific: Clearly define what you want to achieve, including the who, what, when, where, and why. Measurable: Establish criteria for measuring progress and success, such as deadlines, metrics, or milestones. Achievable: Ensure your goals are realistic and within your capabilities. Break down larger goals into smaller, manageable tasks. Relevant: Make sure your goals are aligned with your long-term vision and overall objectives. Time-bound: Set deadlines to create a sense of urgency and accountability.

SMART goals are absolutely essential to succeed. If you are stuck, focus on the 'A'- Achievable. You may be setting goals that, while achievable, are large in scope, and require much time and effort. Break them down into smaller steps. Small accomplishments can be very helpful in getting unstuck. Think of it as jump-starting a stalled car. The sense of success from even a small movement helps.

SMART goals are good to have but they are often lacking some aspects of motivation and inspiration. Another way to set goals is this. 3 types of goals - ABC: A - Goals that you know how to achieve. Things you've already achieved like buying a car or a TV. B - Goals that you can achieve if you stick to a plan. Like achieving a degree or building a house based on blueprints. C - These are more like dreams, deep desires. Goals that you have no idea how to reach. Goals that scare and excite yo at the same time. Usually A+B type goals are not as motivating in the long run and people usually stop pursuing them. Having a C type goal is the real deal. This fuels motivation, persistence & creativity.

When facing challenges in reaching your goals, break them down into smaller, achievable tasks. Prioritize what needs to be done first and set deadlines to keep yourself on track. If you hit a roadblock, take a moment to think of ways to overcome it. Remember to be flexible and ready to tweak your plan as you go along

One of the important things is to understand the obstacles and try to evaluate the rigidity of the same. When we struggle to achieve our goals even though we have set the steps right, the blocks need to be addressed. What is the block? How has it emerged? Is this solvable? How? How much time should I invest in this. If that can't be removed, what alternatives can still work the best ? Once we know the answers to all these questions, it looks easier.

Plans can change, the goal does not. This is something my mentor often said. Planning is essential and we can adapt it to our needs. To not get overwhelmed by the amount of work we have to do, we can use a simple technique. - Breaking the plan down to the simplest and easiest task can be very powerful. - Then we prioritize the tasks accordingly. - Plan the day, the night before. This gets rid of the pressure what to do the next day. - Plan no more than 6 (or less) tasks a day (prioritized). - Work at #1 as long as it takes to finish. - If you have to wait for #1 move to #2 and later come back to finish #1. - Move unfinished tasks to next day with higher priority. - Repeat.

Verwirklichen Sie Ihre SMART-Ziele durch geplante Handlungsschritte! So geht's: 🌟Klarheit: Definieren Sie präzise Aufgaben und Aktivitäten. 🌟Konkretheit: Stellen Sie sicher, dass Ihre Schritte spezifisch sind. 🌟Priorisierung: Ordnen Sie Aufgaben nach Wichtigkeit und Dringlichkeit. 🌟Anpassung: Berücksichtigen Sie Ressourcen, Fähigkeiten und Zeitplan. Nutzen Sie To-Do-Listen, Checklisten, Zeitpläne und Erinnerungen, um organisiert zu bleiben. Diese Werkzeuge helfen Ihnen, fokussiert zu bleiben und Ihre Ziele Schritt für Schritt zu erreichen.

Having a clear end result but murky steps there is going to make it difficult for the goal to see achievable. Building a clear outline is just as important as nailing down the aim.

Take inspired, VIP-aligned action in sync with your menstrual cycle. The brain chemistry of a person with period changes as much as 25% during the menstrual cycle. You're naturally better at different types of activities and tasks during your Follicular Phase, Ovulatory Phase, Luteal Phase and Menstrual Phase. So taking consistent action, being productive and progressing towards your goals isn't linear and doesn't look the same way day in and day out. VIP (Values, Individuality & Priorities).

Here’s the bottom line my friends-get off your b*ttocks and do something! Anything. You’ve heard it all before-small consistent steps gets you to your goals. And if you struggle to do this part -you need an accountability partner (a peer, a mentor, a business partner, your spouse and yes-of course another excellent option is a coach!) to help you get into a groove and throw procrastination, perfection and all the invisible barriers to the curb. We think the answer to smashing goals is complex-it’s not. Less thinking. More action. That’s it! So time to get up and at ‘em! You will be a goal smashing ninja in no time! Big Love,💕 Kimberley ~

When applying our plan and stepping into action we have to be aware of our state of mind. Fear, doubt, worry are the cause for procrastination and allowing distraction. It's imperative that we solely focus on what we want and on our WHY. Taking action is a mind game and has nothing to do with the "how", the strategy, or the tools we use. Discipline, persistence, and resilience is a mind game that we have to learn to play. A good idea to overcome this is to write and rewrite your goal every day before you start applying your plan.

Implementing plans and taking action on goals in systemic coaching involves a structured approach that considers the interconnected nature of the system and leverages resources and relationships within that system. Here's a systematic process for implementation: * Translate Goals into Action Steps * Assign Responsibilities * Establish Timelines * Allocate Resources * Communicate and Coordinate * Monitor Progress Regularly * Adapt and Adjust * Celebrate Milestones * Evaluate Outcomes * Iterate and Iterate By following this systematic approach to implementation, coachees can effectively take action on their goals, navigate complexity within the system, and drive meaningful and sustainable change

Ideas are easy. Execution is everything. - John Doerr As a coach, I've witnessed leaders and teams that have build out their lagging indicators although they don't commit to their leading indicators to review their progress? There seems to be a disconnect of focusing on just results and not activities. Establish consistent time with your team to track and review performance in both lagging (results) and leading (activities) indicators so that you can pivot where needed. Build a consistent cadence at least once a month where the team comes together to just focus on the objective data. We are either hitting our goals or we are not, what will we do to support each other? Focus on commitments that are clear with next steps each meeting.

WINNERS KEEP SCORE!! We can’t evaluate what we aren’t measuring. It’s so important to schedule time where we are reflecting on what we are doing, or not doing, for optimal goal achievement. This makes tracking so so critical!

A practical tip is to use project management tools, such as Trello, Asana or Microsoft To Do, to create to-do lists and set deadlines for your career goals. In addition, take time regularly (for example, weekly or monthly) to review your progress and adjust your goals as needed.

Regardless what position we are in, we are all human beings. Reviewing our own progress can be a challenging thing and it can be very painful to see our own effectiveness (in a negative way). In order to overcome the motivational lack of tracking and reviewing our progress is through accountability. Accountability is like glue that sticks action to results. Being accountable makes us do the things we want to do. It can make a drastic difference. Regardless if it is used in a team/company setting our as an individual/entrepreneur.

We tend to focus solely on attaining the goal. If the goal requires a long time to achieve, we can get discouraged along the way. Acknowledging incremental progress helps to encourage and keep you track. Depending on the timeline for your goal, implement weekly or monthly progress checks. But don't just assess where you are, celebrate where you've come from. Here are some simple ways to celebrate your progress: 1. Look in the mirror and say to yourself, "Well done! Keep going. You can do this!" (You can choose your own words) 2. Call someone in your support circle to share your progress. Focus on what you've done, not what remains to be done. 3. Treat yourself to a break. Schedule a refreshing activity.

I believe it's crucial to take a moment and look at your goals from a distance. Sometimes, we can get caught up in our to-do lists and objectives. It's always beneficial to remind ourselves why we started this journey and ask: Is this still my goal? Over time, things may have changed, and it's essential to reassess

Are you swinging at the same frequency as your vision is? Probably not otherwise you wouldn't be reading this article. Basically, and this comes from quantum physics, all we have to do, is to let go fo everything that blocks our very own frequency to attract the things that are meant for us, our true goals and purpose.

The most effective strategy for achieving goals is the one that works for you. So many times we are encouraged to follow the steps of some influencer, but what is effective for them is not always going to work for you. A crucial component of good coaching is understanding what your client is motivated by and then aligning the goal achieving process accordingly.

To reach your goals you must also know what resources (or lack of them) you have and how to manage (or gather) them. How much bandwidth do you currently have? What professional connections do you have? Education? Experience? What’s missing? How do you gain them? In one role I needed to lead an organization through very difficult change. I had some resources but not all of the skills or connections necessary to succeed. So I called people, took classes and put together micro-strategic plans to help me gain what I needed while leveraging what I had. Anyone’s greatest resource: resilience. Don’t underestimate resilience. The organization has been growing for the last 10 years in part due to the foundational work we did 12 and 11 years ago.

Know your personal values. When you have your vision and values working together, it’s a powerful motivator and decision making combo. Brenee Brown has a fab exercise online in Dare to Lead, lots of words representing values that you can prioritise until you find your core values. With both vision and values as the foundation, you can then identify meaningful goals and a plan to achieve them. It’s important to have the systems in place that support you achieving your plan. That might be tech enabled, might be as simple as keeping your vitamins next to the kettle in the morning so you remember to take them. A coach can help guide you through this and make sense of the outcome, and support you with your plans
