Most people know and believe that a key strategy to realizing more success in their lives is to have goals and work towards accomplishing them. What many people don’t know are the simple steps they can take to ‘turbo charge’ their results. Many people write down their goals especially at the start of the new year and then don’t review them periodically and eventually forget about them. Dr. Gail Matthews from Dominican University did a study with 267 participants across four different continents to see what affect writing down, sharing with a friend and reviewing progress weekly had on accomplishing one’s goals. The data showed after the four-week study, a 33% increase in the accomplishment of their goals by taking three simple steps: (1) writing down your goals; (2) making a public declaration of those goals with a friend or trusted colleague; and (3) being accountable to another person such as an accountability partner or coach are the three simple steps to turbo charge accomplishing your goals.
The good news is that you can start using these three steps at any time so don’t worry if you’ve already forgotten your goals or didn’t write any down to start with because you can start these three simple steps today.
