ASPIRE: Achieve What SMART Goals Can'tThe science-based goal ACHIEVEMENT system to fix what SMART misses. The problem with SMART goals is that they're dumb. Millions of ambitious people set goals that sound great on paper but never seem to materialize in real life. Why? Because the SMART acronym is missing the one vital factor that takes a goal from the setting phase to the achievement phase: Accountability. In ASPIRE: Achieve What SMART Goals Can't, performance coach and transformational expert Nick Hughes introduces a scientifically researched goal-achievement system built for the real world. Based on psychology, neuroscience, and decades of coaching experience, ASPIRE goes way beyond setting goals - it ensures you achieve them. This powerful new model replaces the outdated SMART system with six key principles: A - Accountability: The only reason things we don't want to do get done.S - Shared: Science proves shared goals are more likely to be completed.P - Planned: How to design clear, actionable steps that build momentum.I - Inscribed: Writing goals down outperforms every other method.R - Rewarded: The right sort of reward is proven to keep you on track.E - Emotional/Exclusive: Too many people waste time pursuing goals that aren't theirs. Did you know that SMART was never intended to be a goal-setting system? That's right. It began as something else entirely and morphed into what Harvard Business School labeled "banal." Unlike motivational books that you forget as soon as you close the cover, ASPIRE delivers a practical, repeatable, science-backed framework for long-term success. Inside, you'll learn how to: Use a diabolically effective accountability system that makes success inevitable.Build emotional connection to your goals so you never lose momentum.Turn vague intentions into clear, written, trackable plans.Apply science to what until now has been pseudoscientific junk.Share them in a way that doesn't matter whether you have detractors or fans.Finally achieve your goals instead of just setting them. Whether you're an entrepreneur, a coach, a team leader, a manager, or just plain driven, this book will transform how you think about your goals from this point forth. You'll discover why accountability outperforms motivation (motivation is why 93% of people quit their New Year's resolutions by the 3rd week of January) and how to make progress inevitable rather than accidental. No fluff. No wishful thinking. No, "It will be different this time." Just a research-driven system that actually works. Stop chasing goals that you never accomplish. Start using the ASPIRE protocol - the next evolution in goal achievement. Remember, SMART goals aren't smart Use ASPIRE and start achieving what others can only dream about.
