5 Most Common Goal-Setting Mistakes

Goal setting is a powerful process for thinking about your ideal future. I’ve been reading articles about business goals. This article tackles the 5 most common goal-setting mistakes. Here are some snippets from it.

You have given it your all and yet you still ended up missing your goals. Perhaps no matter how much you reflect on the effort you have wasted, you cannot change the fact that might have committed some or all of the most common goal-setting mistakes. Here are 5 of the most common goal-setting mistakes you need to stop doing:

Mistake #1: Not having a timeline

The best way to keep within your goal completion timeline is to break down chunks of goals into smaller ones.

Mistake #2: Setting unrealistic goals

People who do so also have too high of expectations even if they are aware of their limits. Many people set goals that cannot be completed within a specific time frame no matter how hard they try.

Mistake #3: Setting goals based on other people’s expectations

With this said, we should not allow anyone, no matter how dear they are to us, to control our lives and dictate us what to do. 

Mistake #4: Failing to track progress

By consistently checking how much you have done and how far you have gone, you are more fueled to reach for your goals. 

Mistake #5: Wallowing in failure

In times like this, the best thing to do is to look at failures in another perspective. Learn from your mistakes and make sure that you don’t repeat it over.
