The Only Thing Stopping You from Achieving Your Goals

[[:encoded, "Today we are talking about being a Dreamer or a Doer – which is the only thing stopping you from achieving your goals.\n\nYou set goals, yet you don’t achieve them. Time and time again you find yourself stopping midway between the start and finish lines. You start off running out of the gate, enthused and driven to make a difference this time, but each time, something derails you from sticking to the game plan.\n\nPerhaps you convinced yourself that it was lack of time, energy, or resources. You simply didn’t have the time to stick to it or that a 5am run or late night at the gym was the last thing you felt motivated to do. You didn’t have a babysitter…or the money…or the will power.\n\nIt’s the classic paradox of Dreamer vs. Doer.\n\nAs you know, my Excuses Don’t Count; Results Rule (https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/excuses-dont-count-results-rule-book/) philosophy is the basis for my coaching business because excuses are never the real reason you stop short of your goals.

You just don’t want what you say you want badly enough to actually do what it takes.\n\nThis is the real reason, and the only thing, stopping you from achieving your goals. Plain and simple.\n\nThe initial desire of achieving a goal may be enough to kick-start your action plan, but it takes commitment to maintain the motivation to achieve the goal.\n\nCommitment is what separates the dreamer from the doer.\n\nNo matter what the nature of the excuse is the only reason you stop short of achieving your goal is because the desire to do whatever it takes to achieve the goal isn’t strong enough.\n\nIn other words - you don’t want it bad enough to commit to being a doer.\n\nIf you’re tired of start-stop goal setting, here are some tips for helping you understand the reasons behind not wanting it bad enough:\n\nThe Payoff Isn’t High Enough\nSometimes the payoff (future benefit) of goal achievement isn’t enough to maintain your motivation in the now. That last mile....that last lap…that last squat… another phone call to a prospect… it can be challenging to find the motivation from the payoff - especially when it isn’t high enough.\n\nYour payoff should be so enticing that there is no question in your mind that you are sticking to your game plan.
