Often times I set myself weekly goals and I reach the end of my week kicking myself for not getting A, B, C accomplished. Even when I accomplish my weekly goals, for example if I set myself a goal of generating 10 solid prospects, or close 2 new clients, or make X number of dollars by the end of the week… I still reach Friday night wondering why if I could get 10 prospects why it wasn’t 12, or I brought on 2 new clients but why not 3?
The problem with this way of thinking (I magically discovered… hey it’s only taken me years) is that you are constantly filling your head with negative reinforcement. This year, when I set and achieve my short and long term goals I am going to celebrate having reached those goals, stop and ‘smell the roses’ as it were.
Cheers,
