The new year is already 10% done – can you believe it? It’s time to check on those goals you set for yourself at the beginning of the new year. Are your goals 10% complete?
If not, it’s time to do some hustling and assess what needs to change in order to catch up and get back on track. Here’s five questions to ask yourself to pinpoint what needs to change to align yourself with the goals you set.
1. New Habits
Have you implemented new habits that will place you on the road for success? Creating a new habits takes about 30 days. If you haven’t formed the habits that are required to obtain your goals now’s the time to invest those 30 days. After your new habits are formed it will get MUCH easier.
2. Procrastination
Have you procrastinated? If so, stop! If you never start, you’ll never reach the goals you want. Start little if it helps but start. Procrastination comes from thinking of the big goal and being overwhelmed with the obstacle. If you start small and be consistent, all of the small pieces will eventually add up to completion.
3. Increase
Is what your doing now enough? Maybe you need to ramp up your efforts. You may have underestimated what it will really take to reach your goal. People often quit because they don’t see any results from their efforts. Instead of quitting, try increasing.
4. Improve
Is what your doing the right action to obtain your goals? Maybe you need to fine tune what your doing to make your effort more effective? If you feel that your efforts will obtain your goal but are disappointed with receiving less then the results you expected then it might just be that you need to fine tune your strategy. There may be small adjustments that will kick in the rest of the efforts your making.
5. Change or Stay the Course
Is what your doing just not working? It might be too soon to tell. A new action usually needs at least 3 months to fully test to see if it is working. You need to make a decision now to stay the course through the first quarter or to change your action to something else that you think will work better. Whether you decide to scrap your current strategy and try something totally new or stay on track remember to Keep Moving Forward!
