How To Better Goal Set And Have A Prosperous 2021

First...cheers to 2021, if you have made it to see the new year that is truly a blessing. 

Now that we are done the pleasantries, if you have posted anything even remotely close to the phrase "new year, new me" this blog probably isn't the place for you.

While I whole heartedly believe that people should mature and grow throughout the course of the year and their lives. The whole idea of "new year, new me" has always been irksome to me. 

Why must you wait to the new year to become a new you?

What exactly are you changing?

Why must you announce it?

WHY ARE YOU LYING?!

More often than not even uttering the phrase is a clear indication that ain't nothing fittin to change for you patna. 

Instead of becoming a new person next year, a better focus of time and energy would be put into goal setting. Especially after the year we had in 2020 setting some kind of goal or intention means a lot to helping keep your sanity. We all deserve better than what we had at this point.

Check out my tips below on how to goal set for 2021 to help ensure you have the most prosperous year yet! 

-How To Goal Set-

1) WRITE THAT SHIT DOWN AND WATCH HOW REAL IT GETS!

Writing down anything-- no matter if it's your goals, a shopping list or what you plan to say to that certain someone who needs to be set straight (wait...personal moment lol sorry). Writing things down makes them real, it gives you something tangible to hold yourself accountable to and it makes you more likely to accomplish them. It's been shown that writing goals down makes you 42% more likely to carry them out.

I recently created my Goal Getter Worksheets which you can get HERE to help everyone become more intentional with and actually reach their goals. 

Using the same methods in these worksheets was how I was able to plan for and make my entire yearly corporate salary in 4 months from being an influencer! Yea you read that right =)

Go ahead and grab the Goal Getter Worksheets and cement those goals in your life. When using them be sure to use the words "i will" instead of "i want to" to even better manifest and set the intention of success. 

2) S.M.A.R.T Goals 

Many have heard of S.M.A.R.T goals they are goals that are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time-Bound. Using this method when setting goals helps you narrow things down from the big picture to the real deal goal. 

For example instead of having a goal of "seeing the country" your goal could be to "to have completed my road trip across the country by December 25th 2021". Which hits every point of the S.M.A.R.T goal method above.

3) Attainable Goals v.s. Aspirational Goals 

While this may be completely opposite of what the A in S.M.A.R.T goals stands for. I personally believe that you should set goals that you not only believe are attainable. But you should also create goals that are Aspirational in the fact that they motivate and push you to be more. 

Don't just focus on your strengths but also focus on building beyond your weaknesses. Give yourself a goal that will really keep you up at night. No matter if thats because you really want it or if it's because it drives you to be better and accomplish what seemed like a distant reality. Because when you do, you'll feel that much more empowered. 

4) STEP BY STEP

You can't walk before you crawl. 

More often then not people make a goal with no idea of how they are going to achieve it. MAJOR KEY...

Once you write your goal, write the details steps of what you need to do to make it happen. Not only will this help you make it happen but it will also put things in perspective. 

The biggest killer of an amazing goal is no damn plan. Write down your steps.

5) Positivity Is Key

Speak positivity into your goals not only when you talk about them but when you write them down. Write from a place of positive thought and not negative thought. 

What do I mean?

Instead of writing down a goal of "i want to reduce the loss of contracts in my business" try "I will hold on to all existing contracts and increase what I have by 25%." or instead of "I don't want to be broke" try "I will increase my savings by 100%"

Wording is important ya know.

6) Accountability Partner 

When it really comes down to it no matter how you slice it, sticking to goals is hard af. No matter if they are fitness, business, financial, relationship, life or personal. One great thing to have (not with all goals but some) is a accountability partner. 

A person that will check in on you and make sure you are still doing what you need to in order to keep moving towards your finish line. Then when you're not, kick your butt in gear and make sure you get back on track.

Find a good one and get to work!

I sincerely hope that this blog post has helped put things in perspective and you will take these tips to help you craft a beautiful and intentional 2021.

Until Next Time,

Happy New Year
