Setting unrealistic goals that seem impossible to achieve normally are.  **Write it down & create a plan** Writing your goals down makes it feel official and tangible, and therefore you'll be less likely to break it. And don't forget to create a plan, creating a plan will help guide you along the way in reaching your goal. **Track your progress** Now that you've written it and created your plan of attack, you can track your progress. More often than not, your goals can not be achieved in a day or even a week. It will take time and by tracking your progress you will be able to see how close you are to your goal and what is still needs to be done to achieve it. **Celebrate milestones along the way** As the saying goes, 'stop and smell the roses'. Take time to celebrate the milestones along the way. Celebrating small achievements along the way will help keep you motivated. **Bonus: Have fun.** Most of all, don't forget to have fun along the way.  ***Photo Credit: **[Olivia Choong](https://www.flickr.com/photos/8609229@N08/14411737003/) via [Compfight](http://compfight.com) [cc](https://www.flickr.com/help/general/#147)*   [![blog-resource-library-cta](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/111220/e7c6aafb-0a87-4098-ab82-7ec58a175fe9.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/111220/e7c6aafb-0a87-4098-ab82-7ec58a175fe9) ## Leave a comment ![Sarah Brom-Criscola](https://info.whipmix.com/hubfs/Head_Shots/Head-shot_Sarah.jpg) Written by [Sarah Brom-Criscola](https://info.whipmix.com/author/sarah-brom-criscola) Sarah Brom-Criscola is a Sr. Marketing Specialist at Whip Mix where she oversees digital and content marketing.
