219: How to Break Down Goals into Achievable Steps

Welcome to Imperfect Success, the podcast for success-driven perfectionists. Today we are diving into the 3-step process for breaking down big goals. 

 

Do you tend to bite off more goals than you can chew? 

Do you feel overwhelmed when trying to make progress on multiple big goals at once?

 

In this practical episode, Nicole shares her proven step-by-step goal setting method to help you break down big goals into manageable micro-steps. 

 

Learn how to create an inspiring “Everest” vision, break it down into milestone goals, and ultimately take tiny imperfect actions that will lead you to success.

 

5 Key Takeaways:

• Start by defining your long-term “Everest” goal - the big vision you're working towards in 3-12 months. Make it specific!

• Break your Everest goal down into short, 1-2 week “milestone” goals. Keep them small and focused.

• For each milestone, define 3 “one-sitting” tasks you can complete in 60-90 minutes. Tiny imperfect steps forward!

• Stuck on your milestone tasks? Reach out to people 3-5 steps ahead and ask for their insights.

• Focus on 1-2 key goals at a time. Don't spread yourself too thin trying to achieve everything at once.

 

By setting well-defined micro-goals and taking tiny imperfect actions, you can make consistent progress on even the biggest goals without getting overwhelmed. Tune in to gain an actionable game plan for tackling your most ambitious goals!
