Why Do So Many People Fail to Reach Their Goals?

Success is a Process, Not an Event.
Hi ,
We’ve all heard it before: You have to set goals! Success starts with goal setting! Best goal setting method! We’ve all tried our hardest to get it right, and yet:
- 70% of corporate transformations fail to achieve their goals
- 80% of New Year’s resolutions fail by mid-February
- 90% of startups fail
Why is there so much failure in a world that is so intelligent and has such great access to information and technology? While failure in the startup scene is so common that it’s often lauded as a right of passage for any young entrepreneur, it doesn’t need to be this way.
With the new year upon us, the season is ripe for goal setting. You have a clean slate, 365 days of promise ahead of you. Surely, this will be the year you accomplish the big goals that have cast a shadow on your otherwise successful life.
Before you set yourself up for failure again, pause. There’s a better way of setting goals and following through on them.
How Do So Many People Fail to Achieve Their Goals?
I’ve seen it happen again and again in my own career and in my work with clients. Smart professionals, bold goals, strong motivation, and yet, failure. What’s the missing ingredient? Hint: It's not just one thing. There are numerous obstacles keeping you from success.
Main Obstacles Obstructing Success
Depending on your project or business, you could fall short for any number of reasons.
- Obstacle No 1: Long-term vision but short-term motivation
- Obstacle No 2: Lack of or ineffective planning
- Obstacle No 3: Lack of or poor execution
- Obstacle No 4: Making it harder than it should be
- Obstacle No 5: Lack of flexibility
Over the years I have developed a process to overcome these and similar obstacles.
Introducing: The Clarity Planning and Goal Setting Method
The old way of setting goals seems to be more of a “set it and forget it” approach. My Clarity Planning and Goal Setting Method, moves beyond just listing your goals to include the phases of implementation.
To achieve your goals, you must have clarity, plan for execution, and adjust over time.
This process helps you choose and achieve your goals in two ways:
One: It includes the four necessary elements of achievement.
- Clear Goals
- Planning
- Execution
- Adjustment
Two: As a result, obstacles become irrelevant, and are systematically removed.
The Clarity Planning and Goal Setting workshop on Dec 20th was a success.
Over the years, this has been one of my most popular and helpful trainings.
The workshop was very helpful for those who attended so I scheduled a 2nd round.
Time and date: Jan 4th at 10am PST or 1pm EST.
This workshop is not for those who need it.
It is for people who want it.
