Description

Most Goal-Setting Books Overlook Finishing Sidetracked Dreams. While these books offer useful advice, they often focus on starting or simple accomplishments, not restarting after setbacks.

Restarting is unique—it brings emotional hurdles like shame, disappointment, fear of failing again, or memories tied to major life events. You might have paused your goals due to new responsibilities, personal changes, or positive shifts like a promotion or having a child. Sometimes, others beat you to your goal, or you simply lost momentum for many reasons.

"Finishing What Matters: How to Relaunch Your Sidetracked Dreams" stands out as a guide for those who need to restart, not begin from scratch.

What You'll Discover Inside

Part 1: Understanding Your Sidetracked Dreams
        Identify which abandoned projects matter and which to release.
        Learn why we abandon goals—often not due to laziness—and how to reshape them if needed.

Part 2: Building Your Restart Strategy
        Assess where you left off and set a practical plan using the "Faster Track Forward" method.
        Rebuild momentum and adapt your plan to your current life with streamlined tools.

Part 3: Overcoming Obstacles
        Handle recurring challenges without giving up again.
        Manage priorities, create accountability, and seek support.

Part 4: Reigniting Your Passion
        Reconnect with your vision, stay motivated through small wins, and create a compelling reason to persist.

Part 5: Crossing the Finish Line
        Tackle final barriers to completion and find satisfaction in achieving your dream.

Who Is This Book is NOT For

    It's not about finishing everything—sometimes quitting is wise. It's for those with meaningful, unfinished goals they're still passionate about.

This book blends strategic planning, emotional intelligence, actionable steps, and real-life examples to help you relaunch your long-set-aside dreams. According to author Terra Vanzant Stern, nothing you've invested is wasted—your dream may just be on hold.
