The 10 Biggest Mistakes When Defining Goals
1
You have goals –
but no specific plan, how to get there.
2
You define goals,
keep them in your mind for a couple of days,
until the daily grind eliminates them –
and nothing get‘s done.
3
There are sooo many goals, you can‘t decide
which to prioritize and eventually don‘t pick any.
4
The goals seem to be too ambitious
and you don‘t know where to start.
Therefore, you don‘t start at all.
5
The progress you made on your path to
your goal is not measured at all or very
rarely (once/year).
6
After a few months you think that you are not
making any progress, you get frustrated and
give up – instead of looking for another path.
7
The goals are written in stone, even if the
circumstances change massively.
There is no review, if the goals are still achievable,
and there is no learning from the past.
8
Achieving a goal is seen as a matter of
course and gets neither noticed nor
celebrated as a success.
9
The goals are meaningless to you,
because you got instructed to achieve them,
or you chose them to please or impress others.
10
You don‘t set any goals at all.
