Hi there, Coach Cameron Roberts here, thanks for taking the time in clicking through in. Be sure to leave me a quick comment at the end of this article.

As part of our Leaping Through Life and Small Business Master Coaching Programs today, I want to share with you some coaching, business and life strategies around goal setting and specifically, I want to talk to you about why people fail when they set up their goals in the first place.

You know, as a coach of over 20 years experience, I find that a lot of people are really motivated to change something around New Year or in business it’s around end of financial year.  But as the year gets on and their lives get busy, they often pull back a little bit or relax a little bit on their goals and the things they set themselves up for in business or life initially.

Why doesn't everyone achieve their dreams and goals

So what makes someone succeed while other people who also set the goals fail and fall back?  Well, what I find in life is that people who succeed have a definite plan and a definite purpose.

They know what they want and they know what they want to get out of their lives, and that’s really important.  But you know what really makes people succeed and gets them Leaping Through Life when they set their goals?

It is that they first and foremost change their rules and their beliefs about the situation that they’re setting their goals for!

Here’s what I mean.  I’ll give you an example.  About six months ago, I was working with a team of managers with a Leaping Through Life corporate coaching program from the Commonwealth Bank in the Hunter Region.  Now, one of the managers came up to me about six months after the course that we ran for them and she was saying how great it was that she’s still motivated, she’s still achieving her goals that we set as part of the corporate program and she was really excited.

As a coach, I was really happy for her that she was still achieving those goals and objectives that we had set six months prior in the workshops that we did together.

So what happened was we just didn’t sit down and do a “goal-setting session” because anyone can do that.  You can just sit down, work out on paper what you want to achieve, and then go forward and try to achieve it.

To be Leaping Through Life and achieve real success we first established some values and beliefs, and we looked at their limiting beliefs.

What was holding them back?  What do they believe about a certain situation, about their health, about their finance, about their personality that motivate in holding them back?  And once we looked at their beliefs that they had about a situation, then and only then do we set up their goals.

Now this is where a lot of people go wrong.  They set themselves a goal of say, getting fit in the New Year but they don’t change their beliefs about what fitness means to them.  Or they set themselves a goal of going on a diet in the New Year to lose weight but they don’t change their beliefs about food and what food means to them.

So if you want to change anything in your life, it’s a nor brainer that you need to set some goals -but what you’ve got to do first and foremost is change some of the limiting beliefs that you have about that situation you are setting your goals for and in.
