Checking In and Recommitting to Your Goals

It’s the time of year when individuals or organizations look at the goals they set for themselves and wonder whether they set the right goals or if the strategies they implemented to achieve them are falling short.

A goal should stretch you, which means you may not have absolute clarity on how to achieve it when you start the year. You may want to stick with that goal and challenge yourself to find new ways to achieve it. Yet as the year goes on you’ll learn more about yourself, or perhaps life circumstances will change—we’re all familiar with that over the past few years. So when is it okay to make adjustments to our goals?

We’re going to discuss what to do when your goal no longer feels achievable, or how to move forward when circumstances change. We’ll also talk about when it may be time to reexamine your goals and make some adjustments to be more in line with your current circumstances.

Fostering a Relationship With Your Goals

One of the most common mistakes people make when they set a goal is that they think about it once, and then they forget about it until it’s time to check if they’ve hit it or not.

But if you’re not checking in with yourself and asking how you’re doing along the way, you’re never going to reach it—and if you are, you’re probably setting your sights too low.

We’re speaking with Jay Papasan, co-author of The ONE Thing, about some of the most common pitfalls and challenges people experience when they’re trying to implement The ONE Thing into their lives.

Farewell Geoff Woods: Lessons from Five Years of Living The ONE Thing

We talk a lot about setting big goals… but we don’t often get to explore what happens when you achieve them.

After achieving your goals, you have to take the time to reflect on where you’ve been and set your compass to a new destination. As you grow personally and professionally, your goals are going to change. And when you reach those goals, you may be surprised to see a new path calling you.

In going through this process, Geoff Woods, host of The ONE Thing podcast for over five years, has decided to step away from the show to focus on what matters most to him. We sit down with him to discuss his path to success, how he implemented the principles of The ONE Thing in his life, and how he was able to identify his ONE Thing.

While things might be changing here at The ONE Thing, we are as committed as ever to helping you on your path to mastery. If you have any questions or feedback, please email podcast@the1thing.com.

Decide Your Habits Decide Your Future

How important do you think habits are in your life?

The way you show up in the world today is a reflection of the habits you have formed over a lifetime. But many of us are forming habits by default instead of by design.

Gary Keller, co-author of “The ONE Thing” and chairman of Keller-Williams, says that habits are everything. And they are for you as well. Gary is going to walk you through how he sets his big goals and how he identifies the ONE habit that, if he can put that in place, makes achieving that big goal easier or unnecessary.

THE ONE THING TO IMPLEMENT FROM THIS EPISODE

As you reflect on your goals this year, what’s the ONE habit that, if you formed it, would make achieving those big goals easier or unnecessary? Visit the1thing.com/habits to learn more about how we can help you set good habits.
