Answer

You are right : "put off goals" certainly doesn't mean that you achieve your goals.

The phrasal verb "put off" does mean to defer or delay, but I don't think that the idea of delaying achievement of goals makes a lot of sense. You can postpone plans to do something, but the idea of postponing goals is a little strange. I've never heard a native speaker use 'goals' as the object of 'put off'.
