Setting Goals can be hard for many people. It seems like an easy task if you just think about it. But many people will forget very important elements of goal setting and decide to give up when things get hard. I’ll be covering this in depth in the Manage Mom & Mompreneur Life With Ease Masterclass. But the thing about goal setting that throws many people off is the journey that they take to reach their goal. It can be a terrifying journey if you aren’t properly prepared. Along the journey there are hurdles, set backs, obstacles, road bumps, and so much more that you must dredge through to make it to then end result. When situations that are unpleasant arise many people just give up because things get hard. But goal setting for success doesn’t have to be difficult and I want to show you why.
Why Goal Setting For Success Can Fail
Truly, you can sit down and set goals for yourself that you want to achieve. Then you dive in and start working towards those goals. Along the road you hit a road block and need to adjust your course. When you’re a mompreneur there is another element to goal setting for success that you need to keep in mind; time management. Your ability, or inability, to manage time and tasks will determine how you handle set backs that pop up. It’s rarely the goal setting itself that trips people up. Rather it’s the inability to adjust the path to success as you go along that causes people to give up along their journey.

In fact this is called using The Compound Effect to your benefit! If you haven’t read The Compound Effect you NEED to. Literally if you read nothing else to get your business started, your life goals going, or your personal secret goals you MUST read the compound effect Truly, creating goals is super simple but sticking to them and actually reaching the end goal is quite a bit more difficult. If you don’t have the right tools and mindset to follow through you’ll find your end goals never come.

Wonderful list. Writing things down is the hands down best way for me to be more productive.
Having a road map to success is so important! Especially, as you noted, there are things that will impede your progress. I often have a road block in the form of my son, affecting my work towards my goals.
Hi there, Thanks for the great break down and tips. I think you forgot just one important thing to advice us also to ask our beloved soul to approve the plane. When heart and soul is involved, the success prevails. This is very simple and so crucial in Love TJ

I love this. It was so motivational. I find that I achieve my goals more quickly when I write them down. And, as I tend to have a creative mind (my way of saying I’m a little scattered), so this post was so valuable to me. Thanks so much!

Having a map to pave your way to success is so critical! I love these steps and will definitely be implementing some of these steps in my life! Thank you for sharing because sometimes we tend to forget the simplest of steps. Great read too, super easy and quick.
Great tips! I’m so bad at not going step by step
Love this! I know what my goal is, I have it written down, and I work towards it all day long! If only my brain would help me out a bit and FOCUS when I need it to! haha. I like reading posts like this one to remind myself of doing it step by step!
Very informative! I strongly believe that setting a goal makes us so much more likely to succeed. Thanks for breaking down the steps so thoroughly!
Thanks for the awesome list! I have to write stuff down. That just for some reason makes in real in my head lol.
Definitely needed the reminder to keep at it! Breaking down your goals to see how to reach them makes it so much less daunting.
