FRAME YOUR GOALS WELL

 Sir,

The new year is always framed by goals. We make highly specific goals to pivot our entire lives around rather than creating the story of how to get there.
For example, when you make the goal to lose weight, you can’t just have the goal in mind.

You need to create a story, or storyboard, the framing around that goal. Your goal can be ambitious but it also needs to be realistic.
For instance, if you know the maximum healthy amount of weight you can lose in a week is 10kg, don’t set the goal of losing 20kg in one week.
You’ll end up burnt out, hungry and eventually put the weight back on. Making small changes and being consistent adds up.

It’s like depositing E100 into your account every week.
It may start off small, but by the end of the year you would have saved a total of E5 200; not bad for E100 a week. Think of your New Year’s resolution in the same way. Invest with small amounts and let your balance accrue.
It’s no use working towards a goal if you don’t even know what achieving it will feel like.

affirmations

It may sound and feel stupid at first, trust me, affirmations always do, but behaving as though you have already achieved your goal is key to making it a reality.
You must become the kind of person who is a successful business owner, even if you are currently an employee and have not registered your company yet.
You must push yourself to complete that fat loss circuit, if you want to morph into the version of yourself that finds the task easy.

You must take the first move and ask the pretty girl on a date, if you see yourself as the kind of man she would want to date. Speak words of encouragement to yourself as you carry out these actions.
In the process of declaring yourself a success, you become successful. It’s a weird one, but it’s one that is effective.

One of the greatest reasons for failure in achieving our resolutions is the overestimated belief that we have the capacity to fulfill them.
It’s all well and good to write a foolproof plan, but what is your contingency when it’s cold outside and you have to walk to the gym?
What is the plan when you’re staying past normal work hours and only have, realistically, one hour to work on your side projects?
What will you do when you start missing deadlines after falling ill?

What is your next port of call when you get lumped with a school project preventing you from working on revision techniques? Your accountability points may come in the form of a person, or immaterial things.

Alarms

Having several alarms to wake you up early for a workout.
Having a business partner have monthly reviews to keep you on track. Having a weekly check-in session where you are completely honest with yourself.
Find these mechanisms now, and you’ll set yourself up for a truly successful 2020.

Set yourself up for a cracking 2020 through the habits you develop now. It’s not too late to make sure you get a head start into the greatest decade of your life yet. Life doesn’t owe you anything, you need to create it!
