What happens when you set a goal and fail to achieve it? In January of this year I set a personal goal. Does goal failure make me a failure? The goal was to complete the Mile Run Trail Challenge Half Marathon on April 1 st in under two and a half hours. Set weekly and daily sub-goals. I missed the goal.

It’s easy to set a goal. NOTE: This video and transcript are excerpted from the “ Building Habits that Stick” lesson in my on-line course entitled Goal-Getting: How to Build Your Framework for Success. The mice didn’t really have to expend any energy thinking about what they had to do any more.

Somehow the idea of new gives energy, enthusiasm, focus. The goal is not to randomly kick over the apple cart just to shake things up, but to refresh and renew the working environment for everyone. So gather the team, ask for input, pick a few things to focus on, set some goals , and go from there. There’s something about “new.”

Whether you are trying to solve world hunger, resolve an issue at the office, or setting goals for the next 90 days, here are some ideas to help you make space to think. That takes time, energy, and focus. To make room for our own thoughts, it helps to evict everyone else who is trying to rent space in our heads once in a while.

They identify actions that align with their values and further their goals. Channel that energy towards projects and efforts that need the kind of intensity they can provide. Pro-active people reserve for themselves the freedom to choose how they will respond to stimuli. They choose their words and behaviors purposefully.

Focused effort is what brings us closer to our goals, not hoping and wishing. Save your energy for that. Often the things that separate the successes from the failures are simply the will to persist and the commitment to do the hard work every day. We have to be willing to roll up our sleeves and do the work. Ignore the haters.

When you butt in and trash someone’s input, it puts negative energy into the process and adds another filter to everyone’s thinking. If your goal is to build a strong team with committed, experienced members and future leaders, keep this second part in mind. You want to say, “That’s a stupid idea,” because it is. Stop Yourself! .
