Based on the definition and root word. In order to achieve your goals. There are going to be some obstacles or barriers. Which you will need to overcome.

Why we don't hit our goals:

  2. Then we began to lose our purpose and desire

  3. Finally we lose all ambition

How do we achieve our goals:

1. 43% of goals are accomplished if written. The first step is to write down your goals.

2. 64% of goals are accomplished if written with action steps. The second step after you have written down your goals. Include the action steps you will need to do weekly to achieve your goals. Also, write down what obstacles or barriers you will have to overcome. By doing this it will help you be mentally prepared to deal with the challenges you will face.

3. 76% of goals are accomplished if written with action steps and monitor progress weekly. The third step is to grade yourself weekly on your action steps. For example, if you have four action steps that you need to do weekly. But you only complete three out of the four. Then your score will be a 75%. Then ask yourself why you didn't complete all tasks. Remember no excuses they are the enemy of success.
