The road to hell is paved with good intentions, or so the ancient proverbs goes.
It’s an important idea though – we have so many great plans and noble aspirations that we don’t follow through on.
Once you’ve set a goal, the key to achieving is to commit. Think, plan, decide and then absolutely commit to doing.
Here are a few ways that help you to make your goal a firm commitment:
- make it public (e.g. post on Facebook)
- write it down, pin it on your fridge / bathroom mirror / office wall so you see it every day
- ask someone to hold you to account and give them regular reports on progress (don’t choose someone who will easily let you off the hook)
- set up a reward for success and / or consequence of failure (put money on the table)
Learning to set good goals that are important in your life and do whatever it takes to achieve them is such a crucial skill and yet so many fail to master it. It takes practice, effort and determination but is absolutely worth it. They are your goals after all.
