Goal paralysis? Break your goals down, step by step.
One of the biggest challenges for past clients has been goal paralysis and taking the first step. So I thought I would share a few ideas to think about. I have found clients tend to feel much more empowered once they have taken action, sometimes the fear before doing anything can be the worst part.
Step 1: Just write any goal- making any start will make you feel better.
Step 2: Think of one thing you could do this week to support the goal- it doesn’t matter how small.
Step 3: Set a clear timeframe- e.g. by next Tuesday I will have done x.
Step 4: Agree an accountability partner- find someone who can keep you on track.
I would love to hear about any career goals you are struggling with or get in touch for a free ten-minute career coaching call. I offer both formal coaching sessions and shorter accountability sessions.
