Getting Back On Track With Your Goals For The Year

Posted February 14, 2020

How crazy is it that someone just had the balls to send you something about your goals when we’re already well into February?

I mean, we’re only supposed to talk about goals for like 15 minutes around New Year’s Day, and then that’s the last of it until next year, right?

But seriously;

How are you doing with the goals you set for the year?

One way to get back on track is teaming up with an accountability partner.

I don’t need anyone to hold me accountable because I hold myself accountable!

And how’s that been working for you?

On the surface, this seems like an awesome answer, and it’s a wonderful “sound bite”, but;

You’re delusional if you think that YOU are the only one that should hold you accountable!

I think it’s important that we are driven from within and that we hold ourselves accountable more than anyone ever could, but;

Who’s going to be there to cry bullsh*t when you’re procrastinating and making ridiculous excuses? You? Do you really have that ability to do that or are you of the human variety that would give yourself a pass?

When it comes to dealing with unpleasant things that you need to do to be successful in sales, are you going to push yourself to take the action, or are you going to give yourself a pass?

When you DON’T do the things you need to be doing, are you REALLY going to ask yourself “What happened last week? You said you were going to do A, B, and C and you only did A?”

Of course you won’t!

I want to be crystal clear about something;

You MUST hold yourself accountable but;

What’s your Plan B for when you give yourself a pass?

My guess is you don’t have a plan.

Meanwhile;

Little by little, we go off course.

The problem with “little by little” is that it usually doesn’t show up on the radar screen and yet;

In no time at all we can find our self totally off course!

Perhaps you and one of your teammates can become accountability partners?

How about a friend in sales?

And of course, a great sales coach has this built in to their program!
