Most people blame their failure to fulfill resolutions on a lack of time, resources, or motivation, or a loss of zeal after starting. Only about 16 percent of people are able to follow their resolutions, according to research.

TOP 5 REASONS RESOLUTIONS DON’T STICK

1) Not YOUR Why

• Not all-in because it’s not tied to emotion or tangible outcome
• Making resolution just for the sake of making it

2) Not a realistic goal (over-confident)

• Behavior change is HARD
• What’s the The ONE Thing and not MANY things?

3) No clear plan or accountability

• Have a daily, tangible plan (step by step)
• Have clear accountability benchmarks (measurable)
• Report to someone or something

4) Don’t Celebrate Progress

• Lost the joy or passion
• Trust & enjoy the process
• The Reward(s) must be greater than the sacrifice(s)

5) Don’t Make Excuses

• What’s an excuse? A self-proclaimed opt-out as to why you aren’t doing it.
• Most give up or give in too soon. We all start with good intentions.
• Almost always going to be harder or take longer.

Most people blame their failure to fulfill resolutions on a lack of time, resources, or motivation, or a loss of zeal after starting. There’s a lot that goes into finishing something after you start it.
