The Power of Tackling Small Goals

January 9, 2020

I hope your day is off to a great start … because in today’s blog, I am going to share one of my FAVORITE GOAL-GETTING tactics with you!

It’s perfect for you if you’ve set a BIG resolution for 2020.

I’m talking about that big scary goal that’s lurking in the back of your mind …

… something huge, like running a marathon, dropping clothes sizes, becoming more “minimalist,” saving $$$ to buy/pay off a house or retire, or … well, you get the picture.

These are BIG GOALS that require a big commitment!

They can take time … energy … and a LOT of patience.

Which can make them seem OVERWHELMING … which means it will likely be harder to keep your energy and motivation up!

I have a trick when it comes to achieving those huge goals.

You MUST break your big goal into SMALLER MINI-GOALS … goals that you can achieve in a short period of time.

I know you’ve probably heard this before…

but it’s shocking how many people don’t actually put this into practice.

When you create smaller goals, you tap into the power of momentum to push yourself forward.

Let’s say you’ve always wanted to run a marathon, but you’re not much of a runner (yet). The idea of going from the couch to running 26.2 miles seems a little wild, right?

What if you started with a mini-goal of jogging for just 5 or 10 minutes without stopping?

That gives you the confidence to build up until you can run a 5K (3.1 miles) … and then a 10K … and then your next goal, and the next, and then the marathon.

Make sense!?

The key: recognize and celebrate each new mini-goal! This helps you build up some serious confidence and excitement, making it a LOT more likely for you to smash your ultimate goals!

It’s incredibly empowering.

What BIG GOAL is on your list for 2020?!

And… more importantly, what’s that FIRST step you’re going to take to achieve it?

I feel like doing small goals that build up to a big goal can be extremely helpful. It also gives you more focus instead of making you feel overwhelmed by all of the things you have to do to reach your main goal. Small goals assist you with taking steps to achieve higher ground.

Totally agree with you on this. I set small daily targets that over a period of time help me achieve the big goal.

Small goals seem much more achieveable and easier to attain than large ones

I’m teaching my kids this with their schooling… If they have a big project to do they need to break it up into steps so they don’t feel overwhelmed and discouraged.
It’s a great system!
