15 Questions You Must Ask If You Have Given Up On Your Goals For 2014

questions about goals

If you are doing well with achieving your goals this year, then you can skip this post.

If you’ve stalled out on your goals, gotten stuck, or already given up on your goals for 2014, then you should read these questions carefully.

But don’t just read them, look over the questions and truthfully answer them.

Your answers don’t have to be long, but you do have to answer them.

 

  1. What were your biggest goals for this 2014? Do you remember them? Write them down.
  2. How are you doing achieving those goals? 
  3. Have you slacked off on them or given up on them already? Why?
  4. What was your original reason or inspiration for setting these goals?
  5. Did you write out a plan with steps to accomplish your goals? If not, why?
  6. If you wrote out a plan, what part of the plan didn’t work? Why?
  7. What setbacks have stopped you?
  8. What can you do to overcome them?
  9. What bad habits have stalled you out?
  10. What can you do to conquer these?
  11. What bad influences have held you back?
  12. Who do you need to stop hanging around?
  13. What do you need to stop reading, watching or listening to?
  14. Do you still really want to achieve these goals?
  15. How badly do you still want to achieve them?

These questions have hopefully given you a reminder about what your goals for 2014 are and clarity on what’s been keeping you from achieving them.

If you answered “yes” to the final question and you still really want to achieve them, then the most important question I want to ask you is this:

What are you going to do to make sure that you achieve these goals?

 

Gary Ryan Blair says something you need to keep in mind if you really want to achieve these goals…

“Your biggest concern in any goal setting initiative is NOT with your skill, ability, or intelligence – it’s your commitment.”
