Winning Strategies for Setting Up Goals in 2019

Winning Strategies for Setting Up Goals in 2019 Roberto Lico

New Year is the perfect time to set up new goals and to motivate ourselves to improve performance and way of life.

A lot of people set personal and professional goals this time of year but very few succeed.

That is because we often set goals that demand great efforts and compromise or in many cases we are not well-prepared to achieve them.

Recent research shows that while 52% of participants in a resolution study were confident of success with their goals, only 12% actually achieved their goals.

Why should we set up goals?

Goals are supposed to help us achieve great things.

Research around goals demonstrates that they work and outcomes are improved when we set goals, focus on them, and achieve them.

In other words, if you really want it, set it hard and work for it and you’ll achieve it.

But goals are not always beneficial and there are times when our rigid adherence to a goal leads to unwise decisions, such as persisting with training in spite of injury.

Goals can lead to imbalanced decisions where focus and attention are only paid to what is being measured reducing our feelings of self-control, self-efficacy and selfesteem.

Strategies for Setting up a Goal Set milestones When you launch into working toward a new goal, you feel inspired and energized. But as the weeks and months go by that initial motivation decreases. To ease this problem, work toward shortterm targets that bring you closer to your goal.

Do: Create goals that leverage your existing skills to move your organization and career forward.

Share your goals with others and ask for support and encouragement when you need it.

Create milestones along the way that help your appreciate the incremental progress you are making.

Don´t: Avoid a a long list of goals; focus on no more than three at a time Don´t set yourself up to fail; create goals you can reasonably achieve.

Don´t beat yourself up if you don’t meet every deadline; recognize when what you’ve done is good enough.
