These are the four reasons why obstructive habits can impact your success.

Have you ever tried to be committed to finishing a goal strong? Have you ever struggled to complete your goals and always wondered what you are missing? To become a goal digger you need to change your mindset. Becoming a goal digger isn’t easy, many of us struggle when it comes to our goals because we look at them wrongly.

A goal is simply a task that needs to be completed in a certain time frame. Yet, we complicate it. That is the thing about being human we tend to complicate everything because it sometimes seems easier to do. Though, when you start to approach things the way a goal digger would, you change your mindset. A goal digger is a person who commits to the goals they set. So, do you want to write that book? Sit down and do that. Maybe, you want to start a business. What are you waiting for? Often at times what stops us from being goal diggers are all the problems surrounding us and that can be a damper. I get that, but there are always going to be problems. One thing I have realized is that often at times we forget that there’s hope. Maybe, that is how we can help by giving a lending hand.

It all comes down to what are you willing to do to become successful. One of the things you need to do to become successful is by being a goal digger. If you have no idea how to that I will give you five ways you can. These are also five golden rules for success.

Be committed

It’s improbable you will ever become successful if you can’t commit. What I mean by this is you have to be committed to going through something. Let’s say you want to start your own business and have been thinking about this for two years. Procrastination is the enemy of commitment. When you plan on doing something, start as soon as you can. If you let years pass, it will slow you down and you might never follow through.

Commitment is so important to becoming successful. When a successful person says they are going to do they do. They understand a concept that many of us fail to grasp and that is every step counts. Every goal shapes your success path. This is the first step in becoming a goal digger. You need to start and finish your goal in a timely fashion. This means you need to keep your momentum steady. Don’t take forever to start your YouTube channel or podcast. Don’t take too long to write that book and allow it to gather dust.

Commit to seeing the end and you will work through any problem that does come your way.

Know your why

You must know the reasons why you are doing something. This is your why. Your big reason. Without this, you will struggle to achieve your goals. Why? One of the reasons is because you have no direction. Here’s an example, maybe you want to exercise more often. What is your reason for that? If you don’t have a reason, you will find yourself procrastinating.

We all procrastinate, but this will then become a habit that is hard to shake off. A few reasons why people choose to exercise regularly is because they want to lose weight, be healthier, or as a way to relieve them from stress. There are of course other reasons. To become a goal digger you need to search deep down and find the reasons why you are doing something. There’s always a reason for everything we do. Sometimes, we are so used to routines that we don’t realize the reasons behind our actions.

But if you want to be successful in accomplishing your goals then you need to know your reason. This will push past the obstacles that will stand in your way. And you will be able to achieve your goals in a timely fashion. This is also extremely important. Goals should be time-bound.

Time-bound

For you to become a goal digger than your goals should be time-bound. What this means is that every goal should be accomplished within a certain time-frame. This is the reason why so many people never accomplish their goals. There’s no time frame and a goal that doesn’t have this will never be accomplished. That is why some people can take years to accomplish a goal.

As I said procrastination happens to all of us, but if there’s no time-frame then you will continue to struggle to accomplish your goals. As children, we were used to time-frames. Even though we worked on it, we knew what we had to accomplish. This became part of our routines and many of us have forgotten this. We have forgotten how important time-frames are.

Success is built around using time-frames to push you forward. That is why so many successful people write in journals and places dates around a goal. If you want to be successful, start using time-frames for everything. If you want to start a blog then when do you want to start it. When do you want to be a millionaire? How much money do you want to make by the end of the year?

Start behaving like you are successful

This might sound a little strange. But the reason why you are struggling to become a goal digger is because of your mindset. I was once told that if you want to be successful start thinking like you already are. What this does is your habits and mindset start shifting. You stop seeing yourself as a failure. You stop doubting your belief that you can achieve success.

You start working at it. Your actions change as well. This is critical because our actions determine where we end up in life. How do successful people act? For one, they wake early even when they don’t want to. They do things that they don’t want to do. They accomplish goals in a timely fashion. Mindset is one of the most important keys to success because it pushes us to change who we are.

As much as many of us hate to change, we can’t become successful without. This is the fourth golden rule of success and becoming a goal digger. You need to start acting as a six-figure earner before you become one. The same can be said if you want to be a seven-figure or eight-figure earner. I am not saying it will be easy to change the way you think or behave. However, success requires drastic action and this is one thing that you should become successful.

Take strategic steps

Now that you got the basics, here comes the challenge. Success requires strategy. You can’t build a building without foundation and you certainly can’t start a business without a plan, You need a strategy even when it comes to your goals. Let’s say you have three main goals for the year. The first goal is completing a project on time. How are you going to do that? How many steps or milestones to do you need to accomplish?

Do you have a supervising officer overlooking the project? These are a few questions you need to ask yourself. Maybe, your goal is to start a business. What will your main platform be? Blog, podcast, or YouTube. What is your social media strategy? How will you advertise the blog/business? Will use mostly organic reach (free methods,) or paid methods?

There’s a lot to consider when you are doing anything. Without a strategy, it will take a while for you to accomplish a goal or you will miss an important foundation. Foundation is the difference between a professional pianist and a clunky one. In everything we do, a foundation is seen as an important part of the process. There’s a reason for that. You can’t be successful if you miss out on this step. You certainly can’t be a goal digger you have no strategy either.

If you have no idea how to do this, focus on it. I can promise you everything will change especially the way you work out your goals. This will also make things a lot easier for you so you need to work on your foundation. For every goal you have, there should be milestones and breakthroughs. This way you will know when you have made one.
