Can you believe that it is December already? This time of year goes by so quickly! So much to be done and so little time to do it all. Before you know it, it will be January 2010! Are you ready for the new year?
Do you have the proper tools in your tool kit to make 2010 your best year ever? And, by best year ever, I mean both professionally and personally! Many times we can get so caught up with our professional goals, that our personal goals get overlooked or put on the back burner.
Here is a list of recommended tools to help you set your goals for 2010:
1. Think about what your definition of success REALLY is for 2010.
Complete the following sentences:
My personal definition for success in 2010 is_________
My professional definition for success in 2010 is_________
2. Write down one SPECIFIC goal for each area of your balanced life palette.
- Health/Emotion
- Physical Environment
- Relationships
- Financial
- Spiritual
You might write something like this:
In the Health/Emotion area of my life palette, my goal is to run a marathon, loose 10 lbs, take up yoga to reduce stress, etc.
3. Create an action plan for each of these goals and commit to it. For example, if your goal in the Financial area of your life palette is to save enough money to take a trip to Italy next summer, your action plan might look something like this:
- I am going to open a vacation savings account and deposit $XXX per month into this account
- I am going to create a monthly spending budget – and stick to it
- I am only going to eat lunch out once a week, and will only spend $15
- I am going to sell one additional house per month in order to attain my goal
4. Create a Vision Board. What is a vision board? Simply put, a vision board is a visual representation (or collage) of the things that you want to have, be, or do in your life. It consists of a poster or foam board with cut-out pictures and words from various magazines, and personal pictures of the things that you want in your life. The purpose of a vision board is to keep you focused on your goals, dreams and passions while at the same time activating the law of attraction to enable you to realize your dreams.
5. Work with a friend, mentor, partner or life coach who will hold you accountable and support you while you work to attain your goals!
