Have you ever made a New Year\u2019s Resolution before? If you\u2019re like most people, I bet you have.<\/span><\/p>\n

And if you\u2019re like most people, chances are that resolution didn\u2019t last for very long, true or true?<\/p>\n

If you can relate, don\u2019t feel bad. According to the University of Scranton, you’re not alone \u2013 researchers found that only 8% of people<\/span> who make resolutions actually end up keeping them. And some experts even say that about 80% give up before they\u2019ve even really gotten started \u2013 by the end of February!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t because there\u2019s something wrong with you or 92% of the world. The problem is that, well\u2026 goal-setting is only half the puzzle. To design the life you truly want, you need to have two parts in place:\u00a0goals\u00a0<\/i>and systems<\/i>.\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\nOnly 8% of people who make resolutions actually end up keeping them. Why? Because goal-setting is only half the puzzle. To design the life you truly want, you need to have two parts in place: goals and systems. <\/a><\/span>Share on X<\/a><\/span>\n

I\u2019ll explain what that all means in a moment, but first, there\u2019s something important I need to explain. And that is…<\/span><\/p>\n

How Goal-Setting Is Supposed To Work \u2013 And Why It Almost Never Does!<\/span><\/h2>\n

Here\u2019s how most people think setting a goal works… <\/span><\/p>\n

You decide what you want to accomplish. This could be anything from building a successful business to writing a book, to finding \u201cthe one,\u201d or raising a family.<\/span><\/p>\n

For most, that\u2019s as far as they go. They write down their goal, and they do their best to achieve it. <\/span>No plan, no deadlines, no anything\u2026 And people wonder why they aren\u2019t getting the results they want.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, some people \u2014 not many \u2014 will go as far as breaking down their big goal into smaller goals. They set themselves a bunch of deadlines so they can measure their progress.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then, the inevitable happens.\u00a0<\/span>They start to push deadlines because life starts to happen. They get busy with this, and this pops up, that pops up, they get tired… etc., etc… and they end up never completing what they set out for!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So why does this happen? Well, just knowing what you want to do<\/a> <\/span>and when you want it to happen isn\u2019t enough. If you\u2019ve never written a book before, or run a successful business, or whatever your goal happens to be, you probably don\u2019t have the support systems<\/b> in place to keep up the momentum. In fact, you may not even know where to start!<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why successful goal-setting always involves creating systems<\/i> to support your progress. This is one of the most important steps all successful people take to reach their biggest goals and dreams. In fact, it’s one of the greatest lessons to learn<\/span> from the most successful and<\/em> wealthy people in the world.\u00a0Read on to find out why…\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\nWhy You Need Systems In Place to Reach Your Goals<\/span><\/h2>\n

Having goals you want to reach is great, but if you don\u2019t have systems<\/i> in place to allow you to work toward those goals, you\u2019re just setting yourself up for failure.<\/span><\/p>\n

So what\u2019s the difference<\/b> between goals and systems? I\u2019m glad you asked.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a writer, your goal is to finish writing a book. The system that allows you to do that is the writing schedule you set up every week where you sit down and crank out words, rain or shine, whether you feel like it or not.<\/span><\/p>\n

This works for successful athletes too. If you\u2019re a runner and your goal is to participate in a marathon, you can\u2019t just show up on the day of the race and expect to perform. You need to set up a training schedule for the weeks and months before the race to build up your strength and endurance. If you don\u2019t set aside time on a regular basis \u2014 a system to keep you on track \u2014you\u2019re not going to be able to make it to the finish line.<\/span><\/p>\n

What if you\u2019re not the creative or athletic type? Let\u2019s say you\u2019re an entrepreneur and your goal is to build a million dollar business. It doesn\u2019t matter how great your product is \u2013 if you can\u2019t connect with people who want to buy it, you\u2019ll never reach your goal. Consequently, your system is the sales and marketing processes you put in place, repeat every day, and fine-tune as you go.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
If your goal is to build a profitable business, develop a system, repeat it every day, and fine-tune as you go.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If there\u2019s a goal you want to achieve, stop thinking about setting deadlines. Stop focusing on results and outcomes. <\/span>Instead, start thinking about the actions you need to take on a repeatable basis<\/strong> (the system, or routine) to accomplish your biggest goals and dreams.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The systems that work for each person will be different, of course. It depends on who you are and what you want to accomplish. However, by letting go of the way most people think about \u201cgoals,\u201d you\u2019re already further along on the path to success than 92% of people who never make it.<\/span><\/p>\n
