Identifying Three Reasons Why We Aren’t Reaching Our Goals.
Why are some people just better at completing things than others? Is it the way we are built? Is it an innate part of some people’s DNA, and others don’t have it in them? Or is it as simple as deciding daily if we will work on the next step? I believe following through is hard but attainable, and it is all about prioritization.
Over the years, I created a thought experiment. I wondered why people don’t follow through personally and professionally. It’s not uncommon that I get an email promising a follow-up, and never hear back. Or someone saying they will send a report, schedule a lunch, or respond to my request, and…nothing! There are bigger things, too. Often, people don’t make that doctor’s appointment or maintain their car. What about discussing your hopes and dreams but making no real strides to get there? I believe there are three main reasons that these things don’t get done. Identifying them is the first step in solving them!
