The ONE Thing

438. Forming a Relationship with Your Goals


Listen Later

Welcome to another insightful episode of The ONE Thing Podcast. Today, we're delving into a critical aspect of goal setting and achievement – maintaining momentum beyond the initial enthusiasm.

Research from The ONE Thing reveals a startling fact: just 17 days after embarking on New Year's resolutions, many of us falter. This episode isn't just about setting goals, which we've extensively covered in previous podcasts and our courses. It's about the next crucial step: persisting in doing the right things, even when it becomes challenging, and keeping the habit alive well past those first 17 days of the New Year.

Join us as we explore the concept of forming a relationship with your goals. Nikki, our host, emphasizes the importance of this relationship, especially considering the energy we've already invested in setting these goals. As we transition from planning to execution, it's natural to encounter the need for adjustments. Today's discussion focuses on how you can effectively apply The ONE Thing principles to sustain and nurture this goal-relationship in your life.

If you're seeking to not only set ambitious goals but also to steadfastly achieve them, this episode is a must-listen. Let's dive into the journey of turning your aspirations into sustained actions and lasting success.
