You made an outward declaration and spoke repeated affirmations of how this year was going to be your year. You shouted to the rooftops on social media, you got your family and friends involved and all excited along with you and you were pumped. You felt like the Queen of the world and nothing or no one could dethrone you.
This would be the year that you got out of debt, finish your degree, write that book, start that business or finish that project you started years ago. This was your year of intentions, the year you would work on building reputable relationships, work on your marriage, loose that 10 extra pounds, reconcile relationships with lost loved ones etc. But unfortunately somewhere down the line, you noticed that some of the goals you set were not working out as you had hoped.
As the months went by and now here in December, the last month of the year, it's hitting you like a ton of bricks that some of the goals you wanted to accomplish are a total bombshell.
There is no way, no how at this point you are going to fully achieve some of the goals you set in January of this year. I know how discouraging that is in itself can be and how the feelings of hopelessness can overcome you like a rushing wind. How does that even happen?

How can one have so many big goals in mind and all legitimate by the way, but yet experience little accomplishment of those big goals being achieved?
Trust me, I know what you're going through and at this very moment, you are saying why even bother. I have news for you; there is still hope! Now don't get me wrong, I know that some of the goals you wanted to achieve are absolutely impossible to achieve at this point, but you still have time to begin again.
For me, my issue was when I would set big goals and not achieve many of them, it wasn't that I wasn't excited or lacked good intentions. I simply did not have a specific plan in place in order to meet the goals I set. I would write them down on a piece of paper or somewhere, other goals I just kept at the forefront of my mind, but I did not take a strategic approach as to how I would achieve those goals. I would then become distracted, discouraged, frustrated and ready to throw in my towel and give up. Because I know that I am not the only one that experienced this, I'm
committed to helping you to begin achieving some of those goals you set
as early as the first quarter of 2017.
So I am going to share with you Jill's 10 Common Mistakes to Avoid When Working to Set & Achieve Your Goals!
5.) Don't track progress. Here is where you get all your feedback as to whether or not, you are getting the results you desire. If you don't have a way to track your progress, it is difficult to see what needs to be changed or adjusted to get you closer to your goal. So you must have a tracking system.
6.) Don't have S.M.A.R.T. goals. S.M.A.R.T. goals are Specific. Measurable. Attainable. Relevant. Time-Bounded. This helps you get to laser focus on what you are trying to achieve.
7.) Break stride and lose momentum. This is where a strong community of like-minded kingdom women comes in. If you give everything you got to achieving your goals and you still come up short, some times, it can be hard not to give up. Having a community can give you that second wind to get back out there and begin again.
8.) Distracted by other competing priorities or goals. This goes back to having too many goals. Stick with one goal for at least 30 to 90 days depending on what it is and it will be easier not to get distracted by competing priorities.
9.) No centralized place to document and keep track of everything. Disorganization can kill any plan. You thought you wrote it there or you had it here, part of the plan is in one notepad and the other part of your plan is still yet to be found. Having a workbook to put everything in one place, clear up this issue really quick. This is the very reason, we created a workbook as a companion guide to our upcoming webinar.
10.) No Accountability. Having someone watching you or checking in with you on a routine basis more than double your chances of success. An African Proverbs says, if you want to go quickly, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.
Our upcoming LIVE Goal Achievement virtual workshop scheduled for Thursday, January 5, 2017 @ 8PM EST is designed to help you avoid these common mistakes. It is valued over $397 but you can get full access for pennies on the dollar.
So I am going to share with you Jill's 10 Common Mistakes to Avoid When Working to Set & Achieve Your Goals!
1.) Not having a written plan. Habakkuk 2:2 Then the Lord answered me and said: "Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. Having a vision or a goal without a plan, is simply having a good idea.
If you want to move from dreaming and hoping to achieving and
accomplishing your goals, you must have a vision and a written plan!
2.) Not taking the time or not giving it enough time. In order to accomplish anything in life, you have to put time and effort towards achieving that goal. Even something as simple as changing eating habits, requires you to set aside time to do meal preparation.
3.) Lack commitment to see it through. Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. I want to tell you, you have to decide to refuse to quit until you see what God says come to pass! Did you know Abraham Lincoln ran for public office 16 times before he was elected
president, the writer of the movie "The Help", stop counting the
rejection notices received after receiving her 45th letter telling her
that no one wanted to hear her story. What would have happened if they
had gave up? You have to be willing to persist in the face of adversity
and disappointment.
4.) Setting too many goals. This is just as bad as not setting goals at all, as you have so many moving parts you can't focus. Focusing on one thing single-handedly until done yields more success than trying to juggle eight things in the air at one time. Commit to being FOCUSED. Follow. One. Course. Until. Success. Now that is KING!
5.) Don't track progress. Here is where you get all your feedback as to whether or not, you are getting the results you desire. If you don't have a way to track your progress, it is difficult to see what needs to be changed or adjusted to get you closer to your goal. So you must have a tracking system.
