The "1st" of 5 reasons why people FAIL.

Reason #1

The biggest reason why people fail is because they do not know what they want.  I recently asked my colleague what she wanted in life.  She said “I want to be rich”.  This is an ambitious and achievable goal, however it is vague, not measurable and it lacks a detailed plan or timeline. 

Often, people set goals, short lived as they are, from a genuine desire to improve their lives.  Why is it that some people cannot make them work?  Perhaps, we should take a look at our language.

Can you image how much further you would be if you stated your goals clearly.

To be successful, your goal needs to be clear and stated in a positive manner.

1. Define what “rich” means to her.  

2. Follow the criteria of what a SMART goal looks like (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, timely).   The following is an example of a clear and specific goal.
