You admire Stanley Nwabali and think he’s a good goalkeeper but I’m sure you believe you can do better. However, how are your new year goals and resolutions looking? Any progress or is goal setting easier than goal-keeping?

I have 10 steps to make the goal-keeping process easier and lighter for you if you choose to commit.
Start by writing your goals in a journal or on a digital platform. This helps solidify them in your mind and gives you something to reference regularly.
Visualize your goals by creating a vision board with images and quotes that represent them. Place it somewhere you’ll see it every day.
Break your goals down into smaller, achievable milestones. Tracking these milestones can provide a sense of progress and keep you motivated.
Utilize apps designed for goal-setting and tracking. These apps often provide features like reminders, progress tracking, and goal visualization.
Share your goals with a friend, family member, or mentor who can help hold you accountable. Regular check-ins can keep you on track and motivated.

Set aside time periodically to review your goals and assess your progress. Adjust them as needed based on your current circumstances and priorities.
Use charts, graphs, or spreadsheets to visually track your progress towards your goals. Seeing your progress visually can be highly motivating.
Celebrate your successes, no matter how small. Recognizing your achievements can boost morale and reinforce positive behaviours.
Set reminders on your phone or calendar to prompt you to take action towards your goals. Consistent reminders can help keep your goals top of mind.
Recognize that setbacks are a natural part of goal pursuit. Use setbacks as opportunities to learn and adjust your approach rather than as reasons to give up.

Remember, this takes time and commitment, you have to be dedicated, Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither did Nwabali just wake up and start keeping for Nigeria. There are steps and processes, follow them and by the end of this year, you’ll be unrecognizable.
