2.3. How to Maximise Our Resources and Efforts to Achieve Our Goals?

Challenging ourselves to reach “other level” or to think “out of the box” are ways to get the best of us.
Everything that makes us move forward, that boosts our aspirations and turns it into achievements is
like fuel for our engine.
The way to maximise resources and efforts to achieve the defined goals requires a lot of what we have
learnt in this module. Everything makes sense in coherency when designing a plan, setting specific
goals, pointing multiple ways to achieve the goals, evaluating each one, and having the big picture in
a time frame makes the difference, if not all.

Despite, achieve goals is not always easy, and some reasons for we don’t succeed to do so can be
related with:

 Lack of clarity – when we don’t set enough goals, as well as a proper action plan and an effective
strategy to achieve them
 Lack of commitment – when we don’t fully commit to doing whatever it takes to achieve our goals
and failed to hold themselves accountable
 Lack of focus – when we don’t direct enough time, energy and mental focus to our goals and got
distracted by other things
 Lack of confidence – when we failed to identify and overcome our beliefs, fears and doubt that are
holding our goals back mentally
