Sadly, many of us sometimes don’t reach our goals. People proclaim they are going to lose twenty pounds, be millionaires, and business owners, learn a language, start a hobby – whatever –  and never do anything about it. Why?

Making good decisions, goals, or resolutions isn’t enough. The key is managing those decisions. You can make resolutions, goals, and decisions work by managing them effectively.

THE KEY to success with resolutions, goals, and decisions.

You manage decisions, goals, or resolutions by taking action to manage your progress towards achieving it. Here are a few tips for effectively managing your decisions, goals, or resolutions:

1. Manage your commitment: Managing your decision, goal, or resolution is the only way to achieve it with lasting results.

Take ownership of your decision and commit to doing whatever it takes to achieve your goal.
2. Prioritize: Prioritize your goals and focus on the ones that are most important to you. This will help you stay focused and motivated, and avoid getting overwhelmed by trying to achieve too much at once.
3. Take action: Once you have set a goal, take action towards achieving it. This means breaking it down into manageable steps and taking consistent action towards your goal.
4. Review and adjust: Regularly review your progress towards your goal and adjust your approach if needed. This will help you stay on track and make any necessary changes to your plan.
5. Stay motivated: Staying motivated is crucial to achieving your goals. Find ways to stay motivated, such as tracking your progress, celebrating your wins, and surrounding yourself with supportive people.

Making decisions, goals, or resolutions work is not just about setting them; it’s about managing them effectively. By setting specific and measurable goals, breaking them down into manageable steps, creating a plan, holding yourself accountable, reviewing and adjusting, and staying motivated, you can achieve your goals and make your resolutions a reality. 

Remember, it’s never too late to start, and with the right mindset and approach, anything is possible.
