BABY STEPS

The second reason that we miss our goals and fail on our New Year's resolutions is unrealistic goal setting.

It's easy to say we would like to get in great shape, make millions of dollars and have better relationships. We all do it because we all want it. And even if we are 100% committed, if the goal is unrealistic, it is also by definition unattainable.

The key to achieving your goals is to think and write them out carefully, and pan them by setting smaller attainable goals that can be achieved step by step. Most goals are resolutions are just too large in scope and concept to the point that when the inevitable realization that the task is too massive hits, then procrastination tends to move in.

By setting smaller "baby steps" goals, we are fare more likely to build the necessary momentum that will take us where we ant to go. So, if you want to lose fifty pounds, start by losing ten and if you want five more solid referral partner relationships, start by gaining one.

You don't have to lose sight of the ultimate goal, just set your sighs on the prize-one step at a time.
