How to Set Goals (The Right Way!)
Every year around December, it happens all over again. You begin making goals that you have every intention of keeping. You set the magic date of January 1 for a New Year’s launch of your goal-achieving program, and for a little while at least, everything goes great! Why is it then that the sale of gym memberships and fitness classes skyrockets every January, and attendance is lower in March and April than it is at any other time of the year? Why can’t responsible adults seem to achieve even the simplest of goals?
Truth be told, your failure to meet or surpass the goals you set for yourself might not totally be your fault. You may simply be setting your goals with a formula destined for doom. Wouldn’t it be great if you could find a smart guide to setting goals that actually kept you on track, culminating with you achieving that particular goal, and then setting and achieving even higher, more demanding goals?
Follow the smart goal setting and achieving guide you see here, and failure to achieve your dreams will become a thing of the past.

When you think about someone who is successful, what comes to mind? Most people would think of the end result of being successful – the luxury cars, first-class airline travel, the financial freedom to see the world and the ability to buy anything they wanted.

Success Habits – Checklist and Resources
You have reached the end of this post series and have hopefully come away with not only tools to help you develop habits, but an actual plan-of-action that will guide you throughout the 30 day period that you need to begin habit development.
It is important to reiterate here that the thirty-day rule here is not set in stone. It is used a guideline because it is a happy medium between what science has found when it comes to creating new habits.
Some studies found that it can take as little as 18 days to form a new habit and others clocked it at just over 60 days. But regardless of which study you choose to believe, 30 days is a solid guideline for starting new habits.
Overcoming Barriers to Success
In this final chapter of the post series, we are going to discuss some strategies for overcoming barriers to your success.

Everyone encounters obstacles, but it is how you overcome them that determine what sort of success you achieve.

But now is not the time to slack off and let your guard down because even though you have ingrained those habits into your brain, you are still going to have to put forth some effort for the next few weeks.
This will be nowhere near the monumental effort that you had to make during the first 30 days, but it is still going to take some work. Here are some steps to follow as you leave the training level and progress to the maintenance one.
