About this ebook
Can goals be easy? What is the secret?
Some goals feel difficult. Other goals feel easy to achieve. Why is this?
There are many factors that can help us, or sabotage us on our way to achieving our goals. Once we understand these building blocks, we can put them to use to design goals that work for us.
Building blocks? Think of them as tools that remove difficulty and enhance achievement. Look at these five common-sense ideas that help.
First, humans are short-term thinkers. Our initial goals need short timelines. We also have short-term memories.
Second, our initial goals should be small. We need to build our goal-achieving muscles. This will give us confidence.
Third, we must understand our personality style. This is what sabotages most goals. If our goals are not in alignment with our personality, it all goes wrong fast.
Fourth, do our goals match our internal core values? If not, how can we be motivated when we feel that nagging doubt?
Fifth, instead of using willpower, could we put mini-habits to work instead? This would take away our mental stress.
Setting goals that work for us is easy when we have guidelines and a checklist.
Don't feel guilty for not achieving your goals. Instead, feel the adrenaline rush of success each time you achieve your new goals.

Why Are My Goals Not Working? - Keith Schreiter
Where it all goes wrong.
I wanted success. But as a 17-year-old, I wasn't sure what success would mean to me. So I quietly sat in the goal-setting workshop, listening and taking notes.
Business people with thousand-dollar suits, caffeinated salesmen, middle-aged bankers and high-powered executives surrounded me. It wasn’t hard to find me in that crowd.
Who was I?
A 17-year-old, long-haired high school student who loved to play drums for a heavy metal band. I didn't fit into this workshop group. But the back of my mind told me, You want to be successful, so here is your chance to learn how.
The seminar leader was full of himself. He bragged about his cars, his houses, his suits, his travels, and how he was the fastest builder ever in the history of network marketing. Yes, he was a legend in his own mind. And, he was his #1 fan.
I think he drank too many energy drinks that morning. He went from high-intensity to highly-annoying, and it wasn't even lunchtime yet. I felt a little queasy in my stomach.
I struggled. I couldn't relate. In the seminar leader's mind, the only goals worth setting were goals that he wanted in his life. He said things such as, Don't settle for less. You have to be number one in life. If you are number two, you are just standing in front of the other losers.
I thought, "Well, a new car would be nice. But what am I going to do with a thousand-dollar three-piece suit as a drummer in a heavy metal band? And travel? I still have to go to school every day. I don't care about being number one or crushing the competition. I want to live my life, not his life."
Later that afternoon, I succumbed to the pressure of the group. I set my goals. I conformed to the instructions Mr. Intensity gave us. How to be number one in business. How to be number one in sales. How to be number one in relationships. How to be number one in … everything.
Why did I set these goals? Well, as a 17-year-old, I realized everyone there knew a lot more about goals than I did. I just took their advice.
I did what I was told.
I shared my goals with the group. I used other people's goals to inspire me to elevate my goals. I rewrote my goals to be more explicit.
I described each goal in great detail. If it was a car, I wrote down the color, make, model, and every accessory that my car would have. I test-drove and took pictures of me sitting in my dream car. Next, I carefully placed the photos on every mirror of the house. I would see my dream car at every waking moment.
Laser focus?
Yes.
And guess what happened?
Nothing.
I couldn't connect with my goals. I felt no passion for what I had written down. When I woke up in the morning, I didn’t feel that motivation to go out and achieve my goals.
But it got worse. Many of my new goals required skills that I didn’t have yet. That was cruel.
Cruel? Yes.
Here is what I mean by cruel. Encouraging people to set goals that they cannot reach is cruel. There is nothing more frustrating than knowing what you want, but not having the ability to get there. No amount of chanting and believing will change the fact that if we don't have the skills, we can't get to where we want to go.
So I had goals. But they weren't my goals.
Setting goals is easy. Anyone can write down a list of goals. But, setting the right goals is what we want to do. I didn’t know that. If we don’t have an emotional attachment to our goals, then how can we feel excitement in our pursuit of these goals?
This is why people set goals and then fail to take action.
I just became one of those people.
But I wanted success!
The normal goal-setting approach didn’t work for me. That didn't mean I had no goals. It only meant that I did not have the right goals for me. At this time in my life, I was not sure what kind of goals I should have. Lost? Yes, I was lost.
On the plus side, at least the goal-setting workshop introduced me to goal-setting. This was something they didn’t teach me in high school.
Now it was up to me to take the next step and create personal goals that were right for me.
Feel the failure.
Goals should be a joy to accomplish. When we align our goals with our personalities and values, we feel energetic and happy every day.
Unfortunately, that doesn’t always happen. We rush into goal-setting, influenced by others and their agendas. Then, we end up creating goals that aren’t right for us.
We instinctively know when our goals aren’t right for us. We experience dread, fear, and a lack of passion. We force ourselves to move forward. Want an example of that feeling?
New Year’s diet disasters.
Imagine we want to lose weight. Where did we get the weight? Unhealthy eating choices, too much food, and no exercise.
But next year will be different. Why?
Because on December 31, we will set our New Year’s goal to lose weight. Setting New Year’s goals is a ritual. Everyone does it. Therefore, we should do it too.
We say to ourselves:
This year is going to be my year.
This year is going to be different than last year’s failure.
I am 100% committed to my resolution.
No small goals for me.
I will clear the pantry and refrigerator of all my junk food.
I will go shopping for fresh, organic food.
I will join the local gym and buy a multi-year membership.
This time, no basic membership at the gym. I will go with the platinum option that gives me access to the gym 24 hours a day.
New workout clothes are mandatory. Tomorrow I will shop for designer workout clothes. Matching colors will motivate me.
Let me type my affirmations and paste them on my bathroom mirror.
"I will announce to my friends on social media that this is my year to lose
