10 Ideas to Help You Stick to Goals and Accelerate Your Results

10 Ideas to Help You Stick to Goals and Accelerate Your Results 

We tend to begin a new mission with the best of intentions and expectations; however, it's easy to fall off the wagon way too quickly. 

Let’s explore ten ways to help you stick to your goals, so you can increase, and possibly accelerate, your business success and be on the path to having and enjoying your ideal business and ideal life.

1. Imagine Yourself Accomplishing it.

Big goals can seem irresistible, particularly if they lead to fundamental lifestyle changes. There's a plus aspect, though: You can be sure you'll feel somewhat different, in a positive way, when you accomplish them. Whenever your enthusiasm wanes, imagine how accomplished you'll feel when you reach the finish line. Visualize yourself succeeding. What does it feel like, sound like, and look like? Create a game plan for you to get the outcome you envisioned. 

2. Evaluate Now Against Later.

You can be persuaded to skip an early morning workout instead of sleeping in, or dig into the chips and dip when you know you need to eat a healthy meal. When you depend on pure determination to do or not make something, attempt to contemplate how much long-term satisfaction you'll get out of it. Compare the success you've imagined, to the one you’ve achieved and see how great you’ve done and how much progress you have made.

3. Build Accountability.

Talk with a friend or peer about what you need to do to achieve your goals, then set a deadline and document your progress using a simple spreadsheet for your key metrics. For many people, it's crucial to feel accountable to somebody other than yourself and you can build the same motivation through talking about your goals with others. If you need to eat healthier, create a better eating challenge with friends at work, for example. Want to do more prospecting calls to increase revenue?  Set weekly call goals with a peer.

4. Break it Down into Manageable Pieces.

No matter what you need to achieve, it can be broken down into minor pieces. Rather than mustering the motivation to work out, push yourself to get up and put on your exercise clothes. Instead of tidying up the house, pick up a few misplaced items. Once you've begun moving in the right path, it's much simpler to keep going, making it more likely that you'll finish the chore.

5. Take a Day Off.
