Dust Off Your Dreams
Posted on March 07, 2018 by Michelle Hammons, One of Thousands of Executive Coaches on Noomii.
Have your 2018 goals fizzled already?
Are you a goal getter or do your goals tend to deflate over time? As the New Year’s resolutions slip into post season, don’t let your dreams roll by as we get further into 2018. Goals are different for everyone and vary greatly by the passion, enthusiasm and the burning desire to reach them. Most of us fall short of goal setting and we dream to low, a written goal and a defined plan of action is a powerful formula to move you ahead achieving your dreams.
If you have dreams, vision or goal you can achieve it! There will be naysayers, press on; only you can fuel the passion required to reach the finish line and you have more capacity than you think. Maybe you want to lose weight, get out of debt, grow your business, reach your education goals, or plan the dream home or vacation you have always wanted. Going through a simple goal setting exercise is the first step to seeing your dreams transform to reality.
The importance of written goals allows you to declare what you desire and why. It creates a measuring stick to come back to repeatedly to keep you focused on the horizon ahead. Goals can be short term or long term, building a sustainable plan that allows you to measure and stay on track is another key ingredient.
Declare your dreams and communicate your plans to others. This step sets in motion your ultimate path to success. You will be surprised how much support you can receive by making your desires and dreams known to others. With the power of Social Media and email at your fingertips, you can reach anyone in the world to gain insight, motivation and knowledge to build and sustain your plans.
Time is ticking, and will keep ticking…what are you going to do? You know you have that burning desire or internal voice that keeps nudging you to stretch outside your comfort zone and to play big. You can awaken that dream and start putting plans into motion but nothing will happen if you don’t commence and start now. Where will you be a year from now or five years from now if you do nothing?
Enlist the support you need, having an accountability group or coach can help you stay focused on what’s most important to you. A weekly check-in and review of your plan will allow you to review and make needed adjustments along the way; this can also accelerate your progress.
