With all due respect there are many seeking online success as a business
entrepreneur however it is all too common for people to set goals outside their
reach. When this occurs, as ambitious and admirable as it may appear to
be on the surface, the lack of smart goal setting can actually sabotage a
persons current and future efforts! How can you possibly achieve or
succeed at anything without the capability or resources to do so?
Here is a look at how you can actually set yourself up for frustration and failure when your plans lack smart goal setting!
Delusion Leads to Frustration
Delusion is actually what it is when you plan to accomplish something
outside the realm of your capabilities! When this occurs you have
positioned yourself to become frustrated since you failed to set goals
you can achieve.
Frustration Leads to Lost Motivation
Once frustration begins to set in the enthusiasm or drive you previously
had begins to fade. At this point it becomes increasingly more
difficult to invest any more effort into what you perceive as a 'losing'
cause. The attitude of 'what is the point' has now taken over!
Lost Motivation Leads to Quitting
The next 'logical' step when you are not or can not make any progress
towards goals you have established is to walk away and forget about it.
This is very dangerous because quitting can be habit forming! Although
it makes sense to walk away from something when it appears you are
wasting your time it can have a negative impact on your mindset. As an
online business entrepreneur if you get too accustomed to quitting every
project that fails to produce the results you seek, you may simply
decide to not even try anymore!
Quitting Leads to Low Self Esteem
Once you begin to establish a pattern of failing or quitting your self
esteem begins to erode along with your self confidence. As a business
entrepreneur a lack of self esteem or confidence will undermine your
efforts and also prevent you from taking certain risks that are common
in many entrepreneurial ventures.
New Goals Fat Chance!
At this point you are feeling mentally defeated and or beaten down as is
your ambition to achieve anything new and challenging! The fact of the
matter is you will not likely be ready to 'jump' at the next new
challenge since your 'history' breathes of frustration and failure!
Online success is something anybody can achieve as a business
entrepreneur provided your expectations are realistic! In many cases
people allow their own ambition to cloud their judgment when they go to
set goals which normally results in frustration and failure. It is
important to take into account your own capabilities and available
resources as to how they match up with your expectations. This is smart
goal setting because you are only seeking something you have the ability
to achieve. To establish any goals beyond your reach will only torment
and frustrate you as we discussed above. When this occurs you may very
well be discouraged from setting and achieving any worthwhile goals in
the future! Simply remember the next time you aim to set goals for
yourself to first consider if they are even realistic in order to spare
yourself the frustrating experience!
