While we all want to take over the world, if the goals you set are always unattainable, the outcome will be continuous disappointment and, over time, a loss in motivation. Hence, it is important to carefully evaluate your resolutions to make sure they are possible to achieve given environmental, personal, and fiscal constraints. For example, in a difficult business environment, improving your turnover by a fixed amount (e.g., 10%) may be achievable, but quadrupling your turnover may be unrealistic. Sharing your goals with others and asking for their feedback can help you determine how realistic your goals are.
