Well it’s back to business after a long holiday break, although I’m leaving again to go to the Caribbean for a week in a few days.
I wanted to send write a quick post about the importance of kicking off your year right.
If you’re on my list then you’ve gotten an email from me about setting goals for 2009 and beyond, and I would highly recommend you listen to the audio podacst I did back in September on how to properly set goals.
As I’ve mentioned in that audio, years ago I was at a seminar where the speaker said - “… in 10 years you’re going to be somewhere, the question is where?”
The question you need to ask yourself is “where do I want to be a year from now?”
The answer and your commitment to it will determine what you will do today in order to achieve that.
As you may have noticed time flies. I can’t believe it’s 2009.
It seems like yesteday we were all thinking whether we’ll have the lights on and be able to get money out of ATM’s on Jan. 1 2000… that was almost 10 years ago.
So how’s the last 10 years have been?
Have you gotten what you wanted?
If you set any goals back then, did you achieve them?
It’s not just the setting of the goal that’s important. It’s the constant reminders of where you’re going and the commitment you give to the things that you need to do to accomplish it.
If you don’t give too much thought about the things you want to achieve, if you don’t keep those reminders in front of you, then your mind will wander off somewhere else.
The KEY is to stay focused and have your long term goals broken down into shorter term, measurable steps.
So whatever you’d like to accomplish in 2009, needs to be broken down into quarters, months, weeks, days all the way to what you need to do today. And it’s those daily little things that make the big things possible and attainable.
If you haven’t heard my audio from September yet, CLICK HERE to listen to it, it’ll give you the directions you need, and it’s exactly what I do to keep myself on track.
