Stop doing this if you wanna achieve those 2024 goals!

We’ve got a situation!!

Two friends, Sarah and Penny, both wanted to launch a successful side hustle. They set out with the same goal to build a thriving business.

By the end of the year, Sarah was killing it, making bank, and living her best life. Meanwhile, Penny was stuck in a rut, struggling to get her business off the ground.

What did Sarah figure out that Penny didn’t? What was her game-changing move? How did she crush it while Penny hit a wall?

Micro-goals…What about them? 🤔

Let’s understand what micro goals are, and how they help you? 

Micro goals are small, manageable steps that help you achieve larger goals. 

If you want to drop 10 kgs in 3 months, you need to eat clean, exercise 30 minutes every day, and check your weekly progress. 

If you want to complete a book in 3 months, you need to write a set number of words daily, outline your chapters, and review your progress weekly.

These are all micro-goals that make the bigger goal more achievable, less delulu! 🥰

🚨 Stat Alert:

Science says 92% of people don’t achieve their goals.

❔ Questions to ask yourself before setting those goals…  

Now we know you can’t wait to hit those goals, but before you go all guns blazing, it’s important to answer these:             

• Why is this goal important to me?

• What specific steps do I need to take?

• What will success look like for this goal?

• How will achieving this goal impact my life?

• What habits do I need to build or break to achieve this goal?

You’re all set to start! 💗
