What I learned from Failing my 2024 Goals
One thing about me is that traditionally, I’ve never been a goal setter. Deep down, I’ve always felt like you couldn’t fail a goal you didn’t set. I’ve failed so many goals that i associated setting goals with failure.
But I’ve always wanted to be a goal setter, after all, I believe that if you can’t get anywhere with intentionality if you don’t have a roadmap. What I actually needed to do what shift my thinking about my goals, and what I learned from my 2024 failures that will set me up for future goal setting.
I had too many goals in different categories- When I set my goals in the future, I will focus on 2-3 areas that will have the maximum impact.
My goals were not grounded in the reality of everyday life- My Goals are to move me in the direction of success, knowing momentum will snowball into success. My goals were too lofty and higher-level that I struggled to translate that into daily effort.
I was not prepared to sacrifice what it took to achieve these goals- It’s easy to want the goals in December, but it’s a lot harder to sacrifice for success in March. When setting goals, I need to think of what achieving them will cost me.
I focused on the results, not the work required. The output versus the input. I need to have my goals be rooted in the actions and decisions I will make, not the results I want. This way, I can hone in on the daily actions I need, not the desired result. I know if I do the disciplined input, I’ll get the wanted output.
One of my 2025 goals is to continue building KF Music Studio into a platform that helps develop aspiring musicians in Confidence and Character, and if you are reading this, you are a part of this! Thank you for reading and for subscribing on all the social platforms, and on YouTube.
