5 Reasons People Don't Reach Their Goals

We all want something more in our lives, whether it me more money, a better job, our own business, to see the world, our own home, a great relationship, a bigger family, (you know this list could quite possibly be never ending), more time with friends, a new washing machine, certification... you get the picture. These things are usually things we are willing to work towards to achieve or receive.

Sometimes we hit the target right on and other times we miss the mark, either big time or by a minimal amount. A great many of us set goals and don't reach them for a variety of reasons. Here are just five of them:

Fear 

Our biggest fear could well be considered as the fear of the unknown. We bog ourselves down what ifs and thoughts the worst case scenarios dire enough to stop even the most daring of men in their tracks and send them home whimpering with their tail between their legs. We also tend to spend too much time analyzing what could go wrong that we end up retreating from our dream or convincing ourselves that we need to find a different, "less risky" dream because our original dream is absolutely unattainable.

Procrastination

Ever had that moment where you knew exactly what you needed to do to get that goal in the bag, but found every reason in the book to find something else to do...It's been known to happen! Instead of making those sales calls, we explore the social media or rather than develop that marketing plan e decide to watch the ads on television just to get some "inspiration"(excuses, excuses). 

No Support

I know you know what it feels like to do all you can to forge ahead to your target then to face the people that we look to for that much needed support just to hear every reason under the sun as to why you shouldn't or can't get there. Often times that leaves us feeling that we could probably get there if only someone had our back.

Overwhelm

Thought of your big dream and then you went ahead to think of everything you needed to do to get there? Then all of a sudden a lump appears in your throat and an elephant decides to take a little rest on your chest and you just feel as though your might explode in panic. Well that my friend, is overwhelm. 

Lack of Clarity

"I want to live in my own home, or maybe rent, or maybe I could just stay here with my parents forever and just get a dog instead" this is usually our thought process when we are unclear of what we really want. When the target keeps moving you are always more likely to miss.
