Know Your 2011 Goals? If not you, who?
If you haven’t already defined your goals for 2011, time is running out. Remember… you cannot hit a target that you don’t have!
Rather than look only at the traditional SMART goals, take it a few steps further.
First… determine your core values and what is important to you. Instead of re-listing the same goals as you have each year, determine what areas of your life really need focus and improvement.
Secondly… break your goals down into specific areas:
- Personal/Spiritual
- Family
- Career
- Financial
- Home
- Social, i.e. volunteer work, organizations, etc.
Next… write your goals down
Next… set deadlines and accountability measurements
Next… refer to your written list regularly
Finally… celebrate small and large accomplishments!
“Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve.”
Benjamin Franklin
