A New Year, A New You?

Did you spend time hashing out your 2019 goals? Feeling good about the plan? Struggling yet again to stick to your resolutions (whether personal or professional)?

Let’s Address:

Idealizing about the future is a national pastime. We all do it, and yet we all struggle to ‘make it happen.’ Why? What’s the glitch? Whether you are trying to keep to your resolutions or sticking to a business plan, here are some top tips for success:

Keep your resolutions visible

Pin them to your board, add them to your calendar, tape them to your mirror.
Whatever you do, keep them visible (not tucked in drawer).
The minute we lose sight of our goals, is the minute we start to slack.

Set deadlines

No matter what your goal is, set a deadline.
Hold yourself and/or your business accountable.
Set an alarm in your calendar, add it to your quarterly meeting.

Resolutions/goals/business plans require flexibility

Understand that resolutions/business plans need flexibility to work
Don’t fret if you have veered off course
Document the process/progress
Keep moving forward.

Keep track of your figures

Whether you are saving money, or losing weight, keep track of the numbers and projections!
Keeping track of figures will help you make decisions in the long run.
