1Call Direct On How To Get Started Achieving Your Goals

GLASGOW, UK, October 2013 - The biggest obstacle standing between you and success is getting started. The best way to get started is to identify something that you want and something that you can do about it within your means.

There are only four logical explanations for why you are not moving toward your goal: habit, you don’t have the means at hand, the perceived cost is too high or you are lying to yourself about what you want.

The fourth is rarely the case.  Most people who say they want to get promoted, or meet someone special, or lose weight really do want to climb the ranks, connect with that significant other or be thinner.

As for habit, in this case, that’s “simply” a matter of getting used to taking action.

So this means is if you aren’t taking action toward what you want, you either perceive taking action as being too costly, or too risky.

What’s the solution?  Reduce the cost and risk to acceptable levels; but, if it were as easy as all that, you would have done it.  So, you need some help and here’s one easy solution. Talk to a friend about the challenge you face. Together, come up with a list of possibilities, being as specific as you can. This could take a couple of conversations, and that’s fine. But don’t wait until the end of all your talks to get moving.

Remember, we want to make sure that habit, that is, you are in the habit of not moving toward what you want, is NOT the problem.

You and your friend then set a deadline—say a week—when you will report back to said friend. At that meeting you say what you did to follow up, or explain why you didn’t do anything.

Is setting this deadline the same as lighting a fire under yourself? Yes and no. Yes, in the sense that you have drawn a proverbial line in the proverbial sand.  But no, because you are acknowledging up front that you may not take action.

Let’s suppose you don’t. At the next meeting with your friend, you would explain why.  Maybe it was because you were sick and so you give yourself a pass. But it could be you didn’t take action because you found the action too intimidating.

In that case, you and your friend would try to break down the next step into even smaller parts

And so the process would go until you reduced taking the next step to a point where it is doable…or you and your friend conclude you are never going to take action, for whatever reason and you set another goal for yourself and the process would start again.
