2015 New Year Resolutions ... Pro or Con???
New Year Resolutions… Pro or Con??
It’s the first full week in 2015 and the controversy still battles. A LOT of Americans LOVE New Year Resolutions. They jump on the bandwagon full force. Some Americans say that New Year Resolutions are simply hog wash, life moves on and these resolutions are easily forgotten in a mere few weeks, not to be dusted off again, until next year at this time.
Where do you fall in this great debate?
I LOVE New Year Resolutions. My life runs on the calendar year, and so does my business. I know that it is IMPOSSIBLE for me to achieve a goal that I never established. More importantly, I know I will get distracted and lose my way IF I don’t have a goal set with predetermined achievement markers. My goals are personal and highly valuable. Achievement markers are set to help me systematically move closer to what I want and value most. Success, defined, lived and loved by my own terms.
I have ONE life… not separate boxes up work/ home/clients/family/me, where I run between all these competing priorities. My ONE life encompasses my personal – business- faith-family-financial- health-friends…. I choose to be present and REAL in every aspect, REAL in my everyday day to day. My goals are reflected in priorities and my 1440 action items.
Only YOU can define Success for you. Don’t let someone else determine the definition of success for your life and business. Your success is as unique, amazing and as individual as you.
My mantra for 2015 is: Live REAL, Choose SMART, Finish STRONG. Feel FREE to join me. Let’s add some FUN to achieving your goals in 2015.
Let’s get started: Consider exactly what Success looks like to you in 2015. Take some quiet time, visualize YOU successful at the END of 2015. What do you SEE? List for yourself, what your success looks like. YES – Write it down on paper. I put together a worksheet to help you Define Success. It is a FREE Download. Look for the download button!
Once your list is complete, visualize yourself, having already reached each definition of success. How does EACH one FEEL? Really let each feeling set in, then jot that feeling down. This is important, because when you reach an obstacle in your way…and you will….you will need to remind yourself WHY you are working for this. You will need to be reminded WHY it’s important to strive, to overcome to press on.
Once you know what Success for 2015 LOOKS like to you, AND you know what Success FEELS like to you… you will know what you want to work towards in 2015. You will know your WHAT and your WHY. These become your BIG goals. CONGRATULATIONS – you are further along than most people, especially those, who choose to float through life will ever get.
WAIT …. You’re NOT DONE! Now’s the time to establish your strategy, your systematic plan to achieve your BIG goals. Your best laid strategy includes, accountability, evaluation tools, obstacle solutions, lots of FUN and of course rewards!
