Did your New Year’s resolutions fall apart somewhere around January 19? You’re definitely not alone.

But you don’t need to wait until January 1, next month or even Monday to start again.

In this episode of Lead Like a Girl, Jessica, Jamie and Coralyn talk about how to get back on track with your goals, build better habits, stay motivated and recover when you fall off.

Whether you want to exercise consistently, eat healthier, save money, change careers, travel more, reconnect with friends or finally pursue a personal goal, the same principle applies: stop waiting for the perfect time to begin.

We talk about why goals fail, the problem with all-or-nothing thinking, accountability, tracking progress, creating realistic goals and building a recovery plan for the days when life inevitably gets in the way.

In this episode:

• Why waiting until Monday keeps us stuck
• How to restart a goal after falling off
• Why one bad day doesn’t mean you failed
• Setting smaller, realistic goals that create momentum
• Tracking progress beyond the final outcome
• Finding an accountability partner who actually helps
• Creating habits that fit who you really are
• Applying these ideas to fitness, money, careers, relationships and travel
• Why “partial credit is still credit”
• Building a recovery plan before you need one

One of our biggest takeaways?

Don’t chase the outcome. Chase the behaviors that get you to the outcome.

The calendar didn’t fail you. Maybe the plan just needs to change.

You still have time.

Start again today.
