Why 80% of Professionals Abandon Their Goals - and the GREATSCORER System That Changes Everything

Research shows that roughly 80% of people abandon their goals by February - not because they lack motivation or commitment, but because they are using the wrong system. Vision boards and willpower are not enough; what high-performing professionals need are habits that stick, built on an identity that supports them. In this Expert Profile Magazine feature, Dr Rana Al-Falaki introduces one of the most practical tools within the NAIL-IT Leadership system: the GREATSCORER framework - an eleven-step blueprint for consistent, sustainable achievement that goes far beyond conventional goal-setting to address the full picture of how lasting change actually happens.

From setting microscopic first steps that create genuine momentum, to building the environment, identity, triggers, and accountability structures that make new habits inevitable rather than effortful - each element of GREATSCORER works together as a system. Crucially, it includes the steps most frameworks omit entirely: how to outlast discomfort without abandoning the habit, how to manage the expectation that success will change the people and patterns around you, and how to layer growth upon growth through deliberate repetition. Master these eleven steps and you do not just reach your goals - you become the kind of professional who keeps them. That is optimal performance. That is sustainability.
