Successfully Implementing Personal Change

Seven Key Factors for Implementing Personal Change 

There are numerous reasons why the majority of personal change initiatives fail.

According to various scientific research, it takes on average 66 days for any new behavior to become integrated as a new personal habit. That’s a little over two months!

Hence, it is little wonder that so many people give up and abandon their personal change initiatives before achieving success.

Sadly, too many people quit too early in the process. This is often because they underestimate the time required to fully inculcate and instill a new behavior or a new change into their daily routines.

Don’t let this happen to you.

We have created a list of the 7 Key Success Factors for Implementing Personal Change, which you can access at our new Living A Determined Life website.

In short, these seven key success factors are:
1.       Put time aside daily / weekly to review your actions.
2.      Give priority to your personal change initiatives over daily tasks.
3.      Write your personal change goals in the SMART format.
4.      Share your goals with others and allow them to hold you accountable.
5.      Focus on 1-3 change initiatives at a time, and no more.
6.      Track progress.
7.      Recognize your efforts and reward your successes.

Of course, it is not enough to simply commit to change.

You also have to commit to action.

These 7 Key Success Factors for Implementing Personal Change are designed to help to commit to action, and then to sustain (and modify) the actions you take.

You will also find one more tool on the Living A Determined Life website for you to use. It’s a Personal Change Action Plan, which incorporates these 7 Key Success Factors for Implementing Personal Change.

We hope you find these 7 Key Success Factors and Personal Change Action Plan helpful in re-energizing and re-igniting your personal development goals. For more ideas, see our previous blog post on Mid-YearResolutions.

We wish you continued success in your personal growth endeavors.
