WELCOME
TO 2018! I am excited a new year has
arrived and I am ready to take it on with a vengeance.
As
a goal-driven individual, I will admit that I have been thinking about my 2018
goals for over a month and I am so excited to start working on them. It took everything in me not to start reading
a new book on New Year’s Eve afternoon because I wanted to accomplish my whole
reading goal in 2018!
Listening
to various podcasts, news shows, etc., I learned that 92% of New Years goals
fizzle by January 15th and only 3 out of every 100 individuals write
their goals down. HOWEVER, those people
that take time to create, write them down AND review them are 50% more likely
to achieve them than someone who does not have their goals written down
(goalband.co.uk).
DO NOT WORRY if you have not
yet written down your goals because TODAY is a great day to start! Below are three steps to help you think
about, create and daily review your goals to catapult you to success:
1.
Ask yourself “What do I want December 31, 2018 to
look like?” and write it down in detail.
2.
To accomplish that dream/vision, it is important
to create goals to help you progress daily towards your ultimate outcome for
the year. Many successfully people create
S.M.A.R.T. goals because Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and
Time-Oriented goals allow the individual to know when they accomplished the
goal. Additionally, I break my goals
down into the “6 F’s” (Faith, Family, Future, Finances Friends, Fitness)
because these are the areas that are most important to me. (In the resource section below are links to
previous blog posts to help explain these ideas).
3.
Once you are satisfied with your 2018 goals, print
them off and daily review them to remind yourself of what you are pressing
towards. I suggest typing the goals and
saving them so that each year you can review your previous goals.
Challenge: Create your 2018 Goals.
