4 steps to get you closer to abandoned goals

1. Reassess

Most likely, there was some reason why you abandoned the target. Think about why this happened and what you want to achieve now. Most of the work is to set the right goal.

Make sure that this is a goal that is relevant to you and that now is the right time to achieve it.
Consider if you have time to achieve it.
Make sure it doesn't run counter to your values.

Sometimes we choose a goal because everyone does it. It seems to us that we must also achieve it. But you will not be successful if this goal is simply not yours at the moment.

2. Use the deadline as motivation

When time is limited, you are more realistic about your options. Think about what you want to achieve by the end of the year. What seems doable and fun, and what is overwhelming? The answer to this question will help you understand what to focus on in the remaining time. Use the upcoming deadline to recharge your motivation.

3. Engage the power of habit

To move towards a goal for a year or more, you need to put in a lot of effort and have iron discipline. Make it easy for yourself by making your habits work for results.

Remember, goals must be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-limited. Think about what exactly you need to do each week to achieve what you want. What result do you want to get?

Let's say you want to increase your profits by a certain percentage or attract a certain number of new customers. Consider which habits will bring you as close as possible to this goal. For example, how many people need to call in a week and what to offer them to make them want to become your customers. Focus on these activities.

4. Spend time and energy wisely

Learn to delegate some tasks and deal with only the most important.

Track your best times and devote them to activities that require you to be more productive or creative. And don't berate yourself for having to start all over again. Do not waste energy on this, it is better to direct it towards achieving the goal.
