How to Set Goals that Actually Move You Forward

We’ve all set goals that sounded exciting… and then fizzled out within weeks. It’s not because we didn’t care — it’s because we didn’t set the right kind of goals.

At Thrive Now Group, we believe in setting goals rooted in the study of successful behaviours to inspire action. That means creating goals with purpose, structure, and accountability.

A real goal isn’t just a wish. It’s a strategic commitment. It’s:

• Aligned with your bigger vision
• Broken into actionable steps
• Tracked and reviewed regularly

If your goals aren’t moving you forward, here’s how to reset them.

Before you write a single goal, reconnect to your purpose.

Ask:

• Why does this matter to me?
• How will achieving this change my life or business?
• Who else benefits if I reach this?

Purpose-driven goals spark consistency. When the why is strong, the how becomes clear.

Break your big goal into 3 levels:

1. Vision Goal (e.g., launch a successful podcast)
2. Quarterly Targets (e.g., record 12 episodes, reach 1K followers)
3. Daily Habits (e.g., write for 30 mins, network with guests weekly)

This gives structure to your hustle. Every step counts.

Schedule time each week for goal-focused work. This is non-negotiable.

If it’s not in your calendar, it won’t happen. Your goals deserve prime real estate in your life.

Don’t wait until December to see if you succeeded.

Track progress monthly:

• What worked?
• What’s stalling?
• What do I need to adjust?

This is about ownership. Adjust, don’t abandon.

You don’t need to hit the finish line to celebrate. Every step forward is worth honouring.

Why? Because it builds momentum — and momentum drives success.

Goals done right can transform your life. They give you focus, fuel your discipline, and prove what’s possible when you commit to progress.

Let’s make this your most productive season yet.
