Many clients tell us that setting goals isn’t something they have ever done. That it feels really unnatural for them and isn’t something they feel comfortable with. We have definitely found that goal setting is a skill that must be learned and the better you get at setting your goals, the better you get at achieving them time and time again! Unfortunately, goal setting fails for so many people. Here are a few things we see or hear from clients when it comes to goal setting: They say it feels pointless. They don’t ever feel as though they are reaching their goals. They forget the details of their goal. Their goals are set up as pass/fail, and they find themselves failing time and again. They aren’t specific enough, so they never know if they have actually achieved their goal. When it comes to financial goals specifically - they don’t have a solid foundation (aka budget) that actually works - so their financial goals are more like wishes, rather than concrete goals where they can see the steps to take to achieve them. In this episode, Coach Jill talks about the steps you can take to turn this around and become a master at goal setting AND goal achieving! Some steps you want to take to improve your goal setting skills: Begin with creating a REALISTIC budget. Stop making your goals Pass/Fail by using the Good-Better-Best strategy. Write your goals down.  Be specific.
