Goal Setting: The Number 1 Reason You Don't Hit Your Goals | Donald Kelly - 1382

There can be several reasons why you’re not hitting your sales goals. Today we discuss the number 1 reason you don’t hit your goals.

Accomplishing goals

• With all that happened this year, many are looking forward to 2021.
• It’s always important to set your goals and make sure that you accomplish the goals.These are actual goals that you can be accountable for and that will help you become successful.
• Say goodbye to the status quo and look forward to the challenges and opportunities.

Failing your goals

• People fail and don’t win their goals because they aren’t really goals, rather, they’re wishes.
• Example of which is: I want to be successful in 2021. It’s a very wishy-washy goal.
• Make SMART goals: specific, measurable, attainable, and time-based.
• Goals should be something that you can focus on.
• Another reason why people fail is because of their lack of visuals of the goals they want to achieve. You need to paint your goals vividly. It’s important to be able to imagine your goals with closed eyes.
• The lack of emotion toward your goals can impact your ability to achieve them. We are emotional creatures and these emotions impact the decisions we make.

Planning your goals

• List as many little goals as possible and tie them toward bigger goals.
• The micro goals will help you accomplish the big goals.
• Follow the specific plans you have for your little goals and set a schedule when to do them.
• Go for constructive motivation instead of restricted motivation. Constructive motivation stems from yourself; it’s the push that’s not coming from the managers setting this quota or that.
• If you do have a quota, make sure to own it. In this way, the restrictive motivation turns into constructive motivation.
