We all want to be better than yesterday, right? On this special New Year’s episode of To The Point, Chris Yano kicks off the year with a focused conversation on goal setting and, more importantly, goal accomplishing. Setting goals is easy. Following through when motivation fades, distractions creep in, and life gets busy is where most people fall short.
This episode is designed to help you close that gap. It’s not about writing goals in a notebook and hoping for the best. It’s about building a mindset, structure, and system that actually moves you forward when the excitement wears off.
Why Don’t People Achieve Their Goals?
Most people don’t fail because they lack ambition. They fail because their approach to goals is flawed from the start. Chris breaks down the most common reasons resolutions fall apart, and how to avoid them.
- Your “why” isn’t strong enough. If your reason for the goal doesn’t move you emotionally, it won’t carry you through the days you don’t feel motivated.
- You’re thinking of your goals, not from them. When goals feel distant or hypothetical, they’re easy to ignore. You have to operate as if the goal is already part of who you are.
- Your goals are written in the wrong tense. “I’m going to” keeps success in the future. “I’m glad I did” reinforces belief, ownership, and action in the present.
The 5 Rules of Goal Accomplishing
Once you understand why goals fail, the next step is building a framework that supports execution. Chris outlines five rules that turn intentions into results.
- If you fail to plan, you’re planning to fail. Goals without structure rely on motivation, and motivation is unreliable.
- Reflect on what you accomplished last year. Momentum matters. Understanding past wins and misses helps you set better goals moving forward.
- Create habits, not just goals. Habits are what carry goals across the finish line when excitement fades.
- Organize goals into categories. Personal, family, business, health, and spiritual goals all require different types of focus and energy.
- Find an accountability partner. Progress accelerates when someone else knows your goals and holds you to them.
