What do I do once I’ve achieved my goals?

Home » Executive Coaching » Life Coaching - Goal Setting » What do I do once I’ve achieved my goals?

First, enjoy the feeling of success. You’ve worked hard to achieve that goal, so give yourself a big pat on the back for a job well done.

Now, it’s time to reflect on the steps you took to reach that goal. Write down:

What worked well for you?

What steps didn’t work so well? Why?

What will you do differently with your next goals?

Was your goal too hard, or not hard enough?

How do you feel now that you’ve achieved the goal? Is this what you really wanted?

Next, it’s time to think about your next goals. Review the ones you already have in place, and think about those goals you’ve yet to set. Do the next goals:

Need to be harder?

Need to be easier?

Need to be shorter?

Need to be longer?

Need to be changed to better fit your life plan?

Also, do you need more resources before you start your next goals? And do you need to insert a few intermediary goals to better help you get to your next goals, now that you’ve thought through one goal already? If you need to change your goals, that’s OK. Just make sure you’re changing them because you’ve changed as a person or because you need more realistic goals. But don’t drop goals just because you don’t want to put in the work or because you’ve decided to give up. Keep reaching for those goals, one step at a time.
