There are things that get in the way of achieving goals. Often, we have ourselves to blame. It’s not usually a lack of aspiration or dreams, but the belief that we can actually set a goal and see it to completion.

Kristin Burke feels there are four obstacles that put roadblocks in our way. Perfection, fear, perceived shortage of time, and lack of self-promotion. These are all internal factors that we can control on our goal setting and achieving journey (also known as life).

Kristin talks through each of these obstacles in this episode of People at Work. She provides sassy yet helpful responses to the usual excuses we use to get ourselves off the hook. After all, if we’re not taking our goals seriously, who will?
