This is the time of year when everyone is setting ambitious goals but might not be achieving some of them. To increase your chances for a year full of growth and success, keep these 5 common goal setting mistakes in mind:

Mistake #1: Not tracking progress
Make sure to use habit trackers and write down your weekly wins.

Mistake #2: Setting unrealistic goals
Use the SMART method to create Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, & Time-Bound goals.

Mistake #3: Not considering potential obstacles
Create a plan B or plan C in case something goes differently than planned.

Mistake #4: Forgetting your "why”
Write down what motivates you at the beginning of your planner, where you can easily refer back to at any time.

Mistake #5: Setting too many (big) goals
If you're ambitious, you can split up big goals and work on one new one each month this year instead of all at once.
