4 Strategies to Lasting Transformation: Set Goals and Resolutions that Stick

4 Strategies to Lasting Transformation

Strategy 1: Set specific, measurable and achievable goals

How will you know when you have achieved a successful outcome if you don’t have a specific date and measurement for it? 

The answer: you won’t. 

When we set resolutions and goals, the more specific we are, the better off we are. 

We must know what it will look like. Feel like. Sound like…when we arrive at our end goal. 

For example, if you want to meditate more….. How many minutes a day? How many days a week? 

What will this do for you? 

How will you hold yourself accountable? 

When you travel will you stick with it? 

Here are some examples of solid resolutions and goals:

• 
  Exercise 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week to lower my resting heart rate 5 BPMs
• Increase my business revenue by 25% in overhead through adding one new mastermind charging $50,000 per head by November 2023
• Travel to 3 new countries, have 4 new experiences with my family by the end of 2023 to improve my connection and creativity

Set specific goals with numbers and dates. Once you’ve set them, site with them. Reflect on what it will feel like once you’ve achieved them. 

Do they excite you? If not, revisit and reset some new goals. 

We want goals and resolutions that motivate and drive us. 

Strategy 2: Make a Plan

The first astronaut didn’t make it to the moon with a goal alone. 

No…they set out specific plans. 

They tested. They failed. 

They got back up….dusted themselves off…and tried again.

For each of your goals and resolutions, put together an actionable plan. 

A plan that will get you there. 

Most of us never achieve our goals simply because they are too big. We haven’t reverse engineered what it will take to make them real.

Rewind backwards from success and map out the step by step action plan you need to make success inevitable. 

And if you need help with this, consider working with a coach or mentor. 

But don’t forget, your biggest heroes didn’t get to where they are today without a step by step plan.

Strategy 3: Commit to the Plan

Print out your plan. Share it with your family, friends and mentor.

Share it publicly and openly. 

Research shows that sharing your goals with people you care about increases your chances at success by at least 33%.

Why?

When we share with those who care about us, they ask us how it’s going. 

We feel more like we need to show up. We are more willing to continue taking bold action because we don’t want to fail. 

Accountability works. 

Commit to your plan. Share it. 

Ask for accountability. Have weekly and monthly check-ins.

If you commit to growing 1% every day, you will grow 365% this year alone! 

That’s incredible!

Commit. Take action. Make your dreams come true.
