Get Ready! Get Set! Go!

Posted on June 09, 2016 by Noreen Butler, One of Thousands of Career Coaches on Noomii.

Today I thought I would talk about goals setting and how setting goals with clear intentions may help you.

Are you one of those people that sets new goals every year especially on New Year’s eve?
Do you ever find that you are setting the same goals year after year?
Well, if you answered yes to either of these questions, let me tell you, you are not alone.:)

It actually got to the point, where I would actually laugh and changed my goal to “my new goal is to not have any more New Year Goals”!

So for starters, I’d like to say that it is important to have a sense of humor. Sometimes we all tend to be hard on ourselves — ya think? ☺ This can lead to frustration and feeling bad about yourself, and a lack of self-confidence.

It took some time for me to realize, that I must be doing something wrong and I needed to try to start something new. Because I have since been successful at my new approach and have succeeded at several goals, I knew I had to share my process and approach with others.

Here are a few tips that may help you to get started.

When you think of something you want to achieve, ask yourself these questions.

Why do I want to achieve this goal?
What will my life look like when I achieve this goal?
How will I feel when I achieve this goal?
What may be getting in my way of achieving this goal?
Who can support help me with this goal?

I recommend that you take some time to really think through some of these questions to help you make sure you are focused on the right goal.

Ask yourself what you need to put in place to help you. If you are lacking support or need a jumpstart to get started, I am here to help you. I will work with you to help you define smart goals? Do you know what smart goals are? Here is a summary:

S – Specific
M – Measurable
A – Achievable
R – Realistic
T – Timely

These are just a few tips that may help you get started thinking about how to get started.
If you have found you have tried a number of times and can’t seem to get to the finish line, than I would recommend you working with a life coach. There are several references of things you may want to consider before selecting a coach.

Remember your first 30 minute call is complimentary. I’m happy to help answer any questions you may have.

I am confident that you will succeed once you set your mind to it. Good Luck!!
May all your wishes come true!
Best,
Noreen
