Why don’t we reach our goals?What stops us from taking action and getting to where we want to be?

unlock your opportunity

• If you fail to plan, you plan to fail• Force yourself to get practical about where you want to be• Don’t pick generic goals like "be healthier" or "have a better reputation at work" -

you can't really prove you've gotten there• Come up with goals that you can actually measure -- like "I'm going to go the gym 3

times a week," or "run in a 5K," or "get a positive review from my boss," or "get invited to speak at a conference"

1. Some of us don’t make a plan

unlock your opportunity

• It can be tough to start

• Some people are better at achieving goals when they are big, high stakes changes

• ”Once you step on that roller coaster there's no going back"

2. Some of us don't follow through

3. Some of us are missing a key ingredient

• Missing a key ingredient can stop you in your tracks• Gary Vaynerchuk says "What's holding you back? Truly, what is it? Do you need to

quit a job? Ask a relative for money? Hire someone to actually build the app for you? Whether it's money or time, you just need to figure it out."

• Find out what that missing element might be for you• Resources, or support, or the perspective of a coach?

unlock your opportunity

4. Some of us aren't realistic

• If you reach for the stars, you may not get one, but you won't end up with a handful of mud either

• But many of us don't break our goal into manageable chucks that are actually achievable

• Your goals should be S.M.A.R.T. (Simple, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Time-bound)

unlock your opportunity

5. Some of us don't prioritize

• People procrastinate, and don't take the steps needed • Or feel overwhelmed and don't know where to start• When presented with infinite choices, most people choose none • Meaning: our goals are not important enough to get us motivated to attack them• Your goals have to have priority in your daily life to enable you to succeed

unlock your opportunity

So what’s holding you back?
