The Ten-Step Process To Make Certain You Don’t Reach Your Goals

Filed November 5th, 2006 in Common Sense | General | Goals: Your Reason Why

I don’t remember where I came across this, but if you want to ensure that you don’t reach any goals you set, this list at Achieve-IT! is one of the best lists ever. I’ve actually done every single one of them at one time or another!

The ten steps you can take to guarantee failure:

  1. make your goals vague
  2. make your goals difficult to visualize
  3. think and speak negatively about your goals
  4. avoid planning incremental steps
  5. don’t do—talk
  6. wait until you’re motivated
  7. don’t set a date
  8. list why it’s impossible
  9. don’t research your goal
  10. think of anything except your goal

That’s a pretty definitive list, wouldn’t you say?
