Only 3 Percent Achieve Their Goals - Would You Like Help With Yours? Here's a New Strategy


Only 3% of people who set goals, they say, achieve them. Did you ever wonder why? I did.

Unless you're part of the 3%, we, the other 97%, have often made New Year's resolutions and, a year later, we may have achieved one of our goals or maybe none at all. It was fun setting them but, soon, job, family and personal life just got in the way. We come to January 1st of the following year, and we started again. Or we decided to take a course in setting and achieving goals. We take the course. It's exciting!

During the course, we were taken through a series of exercises and, by the end, here we were - all of our goals set - SMART goals - specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timely. Finally, a system and finally we have it all down on paper - financial, health & fitness, family, relationships, business, fun time, contributions, business - phew! What a list! But, hey, we have the system - we've spent the time - this should be it!

Well, the course and the system helped. But... what went wrong? Did every day life get in the way again!

But, nonetheless, every year, we are reminded that SMART goals work. So we try again. And again. And again. We get close and sometimes we get partially there or achieve one or two -

Here's a new strategy to try - it's a system I've designed from a time management perspective. It's a twist and we all know - sometimes that's all it takes - just a twist on an old idea to make it new, real and workable.

This is what is has done for me:

clarity
focus
reduced the stress and pressure
success day after day
concentrated effort
evolution of an idea
progressive achievement
