Mistakes You must Avoid

How many times did you realize this - you set the goal and the goal doesn’t happen. In this article I’m going to share with you three common mistakes that people make as they’re working towards their goals.
The first mistake is that their goal is not really what they want. Many people set goals simply because they think it’s a goal that they would want to have. Very often, it is income goals, or even lifestyle goals. But what they really want inside is more time with their family or even a higher sense of self-esteem, which may not even come from having a big income. So very importantly, the first thing you have to do before you even set a goal is to clarify what kind of goal you want for yourself. And once you have got that out of the way then you have one mistake that you will not commit.

The second mistake people make is that as they are working towards their goals, their goals are not clear enough. Clarity is power; you will only hit your target if you can clearly see where your target is. If you have a very vague goal with no timeline, with no specificity or any way to measure if you have hit the goal or not, chances are there is no way you can even get close to reaching that goal. And that is mistake number two.
Finally, the third common mistake that people make as they’re working towards their goals is that their goals are just not motivating enough. If you have set a goal for yourself that you didn’t really truly want or simply isn’t big enough to inspire you into action, then chances are, there is no way that goal is going to happen. Find a goal for yourself that is motivating for you. First of all figure out what values you have and what is your purpose in life. If you have goals, which are align to your values and purpose, chances are you will be very motivated towards achieving those goals. Using the techniques of Neuro Linguistic Programming, you could easily tap into your subconscious to find out for yourself what are the goals that really motivate you.
There you go, I’ve just share with you the three common mistakes that people make as they’re working towards there goal. Go ahead, as you are crafting the goals for yourself, make sure that these three mistakes are not committed.
