Raise your hand if you started 2021 off with some big goals and expectations!
Some of us like to publicly announce them with the hope of it helping us find success and then some of us, like to keep our goals to ourselves. It’s a personal decision, but that isn’t the purpose of this blog. Instead, I want to focus on ALL of you who’ve blown it! Your goals and dreams were lost somehow and somewhere in the last six months. First, I want to tell you that I’ve been there. If I’m really honest, I’ve been there far too many times!! I’ve had big dreams and goals, and then let the busyness of life interfere with what I wanted most. My goal is to not judge you, but instead help you find the success you dreamed about in January!
Here’s the deal, you can either spend a lot of time looking back and trying to figure out what went wrong, or you can forgive yourself and make the decision to finish the year strong. After all, you still have 207 days left in 2021 and a lot can happen in that time!
If you’re ready to say, YES! I want to make the decision to reboot and end this year strong, then keep reading as I’ve created 7-steps to help you! Click her to see the 7-Steps! Let me know if you have any questions or if you would like help with any or all of them!
Here are 7-Steps to Help You Rethink and Reboot!
- Put your big dream down in writing. Write what you want your big dream to look like and feel like. Write how your big dream will impact, you, your family and society.
- Share your big dream with a couple of people close to you and ask them to help you stay accountable to yourself and your vision. Schedule check-in times with your accountability partner to reinforce your commitment to accomplishing your big dream.
- Ask yourself WHY this is important to you. It is important to really dig deep into your WHY. Keep asking yourself why over and over until you think you reached the real WHY.
- Write your WHY down and place it around your home and office as a consistent reminder to stay focused. I’ve had clients place their why statements on the bathroom mirror, steering wheel, computer, and on their nightstand. Be creative on how you display it. It could be a single word or a sentence, but what’s important is that it gives YOU a gentle reminder.
- Create a plan and break down the plan into months, weeks, and days. Include celebrations in your plan to celebrate small victories along the journey.
- It’s also important to be realistic and to expect occasional setbacks. The best plans have a plan within them to overcome setbacks. Don’t let your setback be your excuse to stop.
- Lastly, review and revise your plan on a regular basis.
With you and for you!

P.S. The start of a big dream is often the hardest part. Be patient with yourself, start slow if you must, but just start. One day you will thank yourself!
