You Can Still Crush Your Goals This Year!
Jan 19, 2021
New Year, New Goals
Hey you, happy new year! Don’t you dare get cynical about 2021. Don’t you catch yourself saying, “Meh! It’s just another year. Whatever will be will be.” Nope. Don’t do that sis. Can I suggest that you start 2021 with the hope that you WILL crush your goals? Be as hopeful as you can out the starting gate, because hope will give you the momentum that you need to start the year right, and start to crush those goals from the get go.
One piece of advice to reach your goals in 2021 is to plan the goal thoroughly. Zig Ziglar, in his book : Goals: How to Get the Most Out of Your Life says this: “A goal properly set is halfway reached.”

If you are serious about CRUSHING a goal in 2021, you should sit with pen and paper and take that goal apart to figure out how you’re going to get it done. You need to figure out where in your life you will sink in time to work specifically on this goal.
For example, if you want to start exercising in 2021, you need to figure out which days of the week, and at what times you will exercise. Over the last year, I worked on sinking a long, slow, run into my Sunday mornings, so that whether it snows, or rains, I find a way to do my long run at that time.
Another key tactic you should employ is to find an accountability partner or circle. This could be a friend who also needs accountability support, or it could be a group of colleagues from work with whom you meet virtually once a week, or a professional Facebook group that you join because everyone in this group is trying to get the same place. Don’t forget to be as vested in your accountability partner’s progress as you are in yours!
I will be doing more stuff on goal setting, accountability, measuring and adjustment in the weeks ahead, so keep on reading this blog!
Some of my Goals for 2021
- Run a half marathon (will be the second time)
- Write a book
- Learn to hula hoop (because I will be chasing FUN goals as well)
- Get some new lingerie :)
I hope you dream big and plan deep. That’s the only kinds of goals that get done.
